Difference Between KDM and Hallmarked Gold

Difference Between KDM and Hallmarked Gold
There is a major difference between hallmarked gold and KDM. When jewellery is soldered with Cadium, it is called KDM gold. Earlier there were markings when gold and gold jewellery was soldered with this product. According to reports cadium contains toxic fumes and is now banned in many countries. These toxic fumes are known to be bad for the skin. On the other hallmarked gold is not too difficult to understand. Hallmarked gold is largely gold that is essayed. So, it means that the quality of the gold is checked and undergoes essaying at some of the Bureau of Indian Standards certified centres. These days it becomes imperative to buy from some of the essaying centres in the world, as it ensures the purity of gold. This essentially safeguards the buyer from buying gold ornaments that are duplicate. However, there are not many essaying centres to check the purity of gold in Delhi, which is another major issue these days.
