Hi the other day i purchased gold bangles and 2 karhe they look so beutiful but my mother in law said that its not good because it is a bai ka sona and not chowi ka sona does anyone know whats the difference she did try to explain but it doesnt make sense she says bai ka sona is not pure gold.

even though people talk of 24 karot gold, 22 karot is used in jewellary mostly.

yes exactly, 24 carat gold can't be used for making gold, as it breaks.... i mean 24 carat gold jewellary is not possile to make as 24 carat gold is soooo soft.

so jewellars say that they use 24 carat gold BUT they use 22 or 18 carat gold.... n u know what? they use the rate of 24 carat gold it gives them tons of profit which they take in the name of polish etc

n they dont accept this that they use the rate of 24 carat gold n give 22 carat gold

amnaar

so the difference is in carats (carat is a unit used for mass/purity of gold and other gems),

u bought 22 carat jewellery,
and according to your mother in law 22 carat is no good, 24 carat would have been better (in her view more carats more gold)...

but that doesn't mean she's right in her view... as others have pointed out 24 carat gold tends to be too soft/meallable for jewellery...depending on the design, if you got 24 carat karas or chooriyan, they would be more prone to dents...
almost all jewellery that is made and sold now a days is with 22 carat gold alloy, not 24 (as 24 has problems with dents , breakage etc)

your mother in law is wrong , you can tell her that in a nice manner , that for the stuff you bought bai ka sona hi acha hei :P
or if you dont want o say anything to her then dont , but know for yourself that the stuff u bought is perfectly fine...

when i bought my gold we also asked the jewellers to make it in 24 k gold but he adviced us not to as he is our family jeweller coz they r very delicate and can break easily so i got my gold sets n bangles too of 22 k ...in saudia and dubai u always get 21 k or 22 k gold that what my mother and jeweller told me so dont u worry u have bought the right thing that will be long lasting InshAllah

humaray haan to jewlers gold ka rate lagatay hain wo 24 carat ka lagatay hain lakin phir alag say polish ka b rate lagataya hain????????????????????????
kia humay on say poochna chaheya k wo ass akiun kertay hain?????

Sara hussain

Can we buy gold bars(gold biscuit) in 24 carat????????

amnaar

^ yeah i think so,

but just know that it is impossible to get exactly 24.0 carat purity in gold, it will be something like 23.99 carat, which i think is fine for your purposes if you wanna save it and use it later for jewellery...


but i have no idea about the following point...
if u give jeweler 24 (23.99) carat biscit, would he be able to make 22 carat jewelery for you out of it? or do u need to provide 22 in order to get 22 back in jewellery design

hunni_buney

yes u shd ask but they won't accept n even if they do.. they'll say sab jaha yehi hota hai hum kia karein...but they do charge lots of extra money

meray abu ki hamaray jewellar say behas ho gaey thi issi baat per... abbu said u shd admit that u r extra charging.... BUT the jewellar sahab was very annoyed in the end n didn't admit SIMPLE

Sara hussain

yeah we do want to purchase gold biscuits(gold bars) save it and then use it later in future...
wat would u recommend me either to buy 22 carat gold or 23.99 carat gold bars???????????????

coz agar 24 gold bar baad may jewller ko day ker 22 carat gold jewllery banwaey to phir wo to loss howa na????????expensive gold buy ker k baad may jewller ko hi faida ho ga?????haina???

Sara hussain

wassay uncle nay buhat acha kiya k jewller say behas ki...
main b is dafa jab b apnay family jewller k pass gai to os say yeh baat zaroor clear kerwaoo gi...
