A jeweller should always disclose whatever possible about the jewellery he is selling.The true purity ie 22ct,18ct,14ct and that he should disclose not only the skin touch but also the melting purity of the jewellery. Because the resale value of jewellery when you go to sell depends totally on the purity after melting.The skin test may show the perfect karat but on melting you may come to know that the jewellery you have bought is not what you had paid for.For this the customer should always ask for kdm jewellery.Cadmium is the material used to solder jewellery.
It is mixed with a particular karat of gold of which the guarantee is given.When the jewellery is made this solder is used and cadmium on heat vanishes and gold remains.Variations in cadmium proportions also results in lowering karat of gold or mix with lower karat also reduces the karat of gold on melting.Jewellery 20 to 25 yrs back no cadmium was used as a result the melting of such jewellery resulted in lowering the karat and hence less return value for customers.
In todays time hallmarking is followed by many jewellers but still the most important thing is honest disclosure and living upto the trust of the customer which creates a
long lasting impression of the jeweller and also his survival in todays market.
