BEFORE YOU SELL OLD GOLD WITHOUT STAMP/HALLMARK, PLEASE READ TO AVOID BEING CHEATED โ ๏ธ
โ Do you own very old gold?
โ Has the hallmark faded or cut off (I mean that tiny number written on it 9k, 14k, 21k, 750 etc?
โ Are you not sure of the karat or class of your gold?
๐๐ฝ Then this message is for YOU.
Many gold owners rush to sell their gold without knowing its true value especially in a state of emergency and sadly, this is where some insincere jewellers take advantage.
๐ Common trick in the market:
An 18karat or 22karat gold is deliberately called 9karat, simply because the owner doesnโt know the classification. Once you look unsure, the price drops instantly.
๐ HOW GOLD IS USUALLY TESTED
In many pure gold shops, gold is tested by: โ Scratching it on a stone
โ Applying chemical water (acid)
โ These chemicals are labelled by karat (9k, 18k, 22k, etc.)
Some jewellers call them: โข Small water
โข Big water especially to cheat because that small & big water is confusing; the water should be used according to labelling.
Hereโs the truth ๐๐ฝ If you donโt have an idea or look carefully whatโs being applied, you can easily be confused or cheated....
๐ HOW ITโS DONE IN STANDARD INTERNATIONAL GOLD SHOPS (UNLIKE IN NIGERIA)
โ Clear, transparent testing
โ Correct acid matching the karat
โ Sometimes electronic gold testers
โ Results are explained to the seller
โ No pressure, no confusion
The seller is informed, not manipulated.
๐ก IMPORTANT ADVICE
Before taking your gold to sell:
โ
Know the karat/classification
โ
Test it with a trusted gold expert
โ
Ask questions confidently
โ
Donโt sell in a hurry
โ
Donโt show ignorance โ it reduces value instantly
๐ Knowledge protects your gold.
๐ Ignorance makes your gold cheap.
Your gold may be more valuable than you think, donโt let anyone downgrade it, be smart!!!
Last week, a customer called me she needs to sell some of her used pure gold jewelry.
When I saw it, I was amazed because it looks so old & one will hardly believe is pure Gold until is being weighed, the gold was over 50 years old, She shared that it originally belonged to her mother before she passed on.
This is the reality for many people today:
They inherit gold from their parents or due to forgetfulness without truly knowing its value, purity, or category before making an attempt to sell. Sadly, many lose out by selling to insincere jewelers without knowing.
She appreciates how I made it cleared to her me in terms of the true karat, sincerely i value integrity, honesty, and trust above profit... Alhamdulillaah, I pray to always remain truthful no matter what ๐
