If you own gold, you’ve probably heard the term “assaying.” But what exactly is it, and why is it so critical? In simple terms, gold assaying is the process of determining the precise purity and composition of a gold item.
Why is Assaying So Important?
Without a professional assay, you are essentially guessing your gold’s value. Assaying provides a scientific analysis that protects you from selling your gold for less than it’s worth. It is the foundation of a fair and honest transaction.
How Does the Gold Assaying Process Work?
At a certified facility like Depthore, the process is meticulous:
- Sample Taking: A small, representative sample is carefully taken from your gold.
- Laboratory Analysis: The sample is analyzed using advanced methods, often fire assay, which is considered the industry standard for accuracy.
- Purity Determination: The analysis reveals the exact karat or fineness of the gold (e.g., 22 karats, 95% purity).
- Transparent Report: You receive a clear explanation of the results, which directly determines the final valuation.
