How to Identify Real Gold: A Buyer’s Guide by ANW Jewellers Lahore
Buying gold jewellery is exciting, but ensuring you’re purchasing real and high-quality gold matters just as much. At ANW Jewellers Lahore, we believe that informed customers are confident customers. Here are the key checks and tips to help you identify genuine gold before you buy.
1. Check for Hallmark & Purity Markings
One of the first steps is to look for the hallmark or purity stamp on the jewellery piece. In Pakistan, 22K is a common standard for fine jewellery because it offers a balance of purity and durability. Always request to see the marking, ask questions about the alloy composition, and ensure you receive a proper invoice from a trusted jeweller such as ANW Jewellers.
2. Look for Consistent Finish & Craftsmanship
Real high-quality gold jewellery should have a uniform finish, clean edges, and strong craftsmanship. At ANW Jewellers Lahore, our artisans maintain exacting standards, so even small items show meticulous details. If you notice rough soldering, uneven colouring, or loose stones, it may be a red flag.
3. Ask About the Weight & Making Charges
Gold jewellery pricing is influenced by both the gold weight and the making charges. A reliable jeweller will disclose both clearly. Before committing, compare the gold rate today (24K & 22K) with the invoice and ensure the making charges are transparent. ANW Jewellers is committed to full transparency in pricing.

Gold rates in Pakistan fluctuate daily due to international bullion prices, the USD-PKR exchange rate, and local supply/demand. Knowing the current rate helps you get a fair deal.
