However, purchasing physical gold jewellery or evaluating bullion requires navigating complex pricing structures: converting karats into decimal purities, calculating traditional weight measures (grams, tolas, sovereigns), and decoding jeweller billing invoices loaded with making charges, wastage margins, mandatory hallmarking fees, and Goods and Services Tax (GST).
