Negotiation on making charges

• Bargaining and minimizing the making charges are even more important. You should bargain on the making charges of the jewelry.

Bill

• Whenever you buy gold, definitely take its bill.

• The bill given by the jeweler contains the details of the purity of the gold or silver jewelry purchased by you, its rate, and weight.
