As Diwali approaches, consumers are seeking guidance on purchasing gold. For traditional jewellery, 22-carat gold remains the preferred choice due to its higher purity and long-standing appeal. However, 18-carat gold is gaining popularity for designer and daily wear items, offering greater durability and design flexibility. For investment purposes, 24-carat gold is recommended for its maximum purity. Buyers should also consider market prices, bills, and terms of sale.
