What to Watch For – Seller Protection
● Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing
● Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing
● No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement
● Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
● Lump-sum quote without per-gram rate – always ask first
