Gold rate in Surat, what to know before you buy or sell
Dhanteras, Diwali and Akshaya Tritiya are the main buying times, and weddings keep demand steady through the year. Diamond jewellery in 18K gold is popular here. When a piece has diamonds, the bill should show the gold, the diamonds and the making charge separately, along with a certificate for the stones. Ask whether the stones are natural or lab-grown, since Surat is a major centre for lab-grown diamonds, and have the answer written on the bill.
