Also, compare the final price per gram with the day's gold rate. A big "discount" on making charges means little if the base gold price is higher than the market rate.

Digital Gold or a Physical Coin?

Digital gold lets you buy small amounts, even ₹100 worth, stored by the provider. On the other hand, a physical coin is something you can hold, gift and keep in the pooja room. Many families do both: a small coin for tradition and digital gold for regular saving. Before buying digital gold, read the terms on storage, delivery and selling.

Utensils and Silver: Quick Tips

• Steel: check the steel grade and thickness in the listing; heavier usually lasts longer.
• Brass and copper: look for food-safe lining where needed and clear care instructions.
• Silver: check the purity mark (like 999 or 925) and the weight on the invoice.

When Do Dhanteras Offers 2026 Start?

Jewellers usually start their Dhanteras offers a week or two before the festival, often with lower making charges or free silver coins on bigger buys. In addition, the big online sales from 8–9 October may include gold and silver coin listings from brand stores. However, gold prices change every day, so the "best" day depends on the rate, not just the offer. Therefore, track the gold rate for a few days, and book your coin a few days before 6 November to avoid delivery delays. Many families also check the Dhanteras muhurat and pick up or pay for the coin during that time.
