Have you started wondering what to buy on Dhanteras? It is also good to know about its history and significance too. This is the first day to mark the celebrations of Diwali. Lord Dhanvantari is worshipped on this occasion who is considered to be the god of Ayurveda in India.

As this day is seen as the occasion of good health and prosperity, people tend to buy gold, silver or other metal items on this day. You can even spot huge crowds in the market as buying the precious metal on this day is seen as the good luck. So, make sure that you buy at least a small utensil or other such items on Dhanteras.

Gold is the most precious of all metals and signifies prosperity. This is why many people buy gold items for Dhanteras. However, before you decide to buy it, you should know about the purity of the gold. While 24k is used in coins and gold articles, 22k is used in making of jewellery. If you are buying gold for investment then we would recommend you to buy gold coin instead of some jewellery. This will ensure that you are buying the purest form of gold.

In case you are planning on buying gold jewellery on Dhanteras, then make sure to buy only hallmarked jewellery. It guarantees the purity and authenticity of the gold and the BIS Hallmarking system works for both gold as well as silver jewellery. This is quite like getting an assurance that whatever type of gold you are buying is completely authentic and it will help you in reselling the items too.

As the gold prices fluctuates every single day, it would be a wiser choice to go for gold coin instead of gold jewellery.

And finally, if you are buying precious jewellery or gold or silver for a special reason on Dhanteras then do not forget to inquire about the making charges from the jeweller. Making charges is basically the cost of labor used for making the jewellery piece. It is usually estimated between 10 to 22% of actual price of gold piece.
