Nothing about purity should require faith. Here is exactly how we test it, certify it, and price it — printable, so you can carry it to any counter and compare.
Every piece is tested using advanced karat meter technology, right at our store, with an instant lab-grade certificate to back it.
Ask for a purity test on anything — a piece you are buying, or one you already own — and we run it at the counter while you stand there. The karat meter reading is on the screen before it is on the bill. If a piece does not read what we said it would, it does not leave the counter.
The lab-grade certificate goes into the box with the piece, not into a drawer we promise to post later. Bring it back any time and we will re-test it, free, whether or not you are buying that day.
Net weight taken on a calibrated scale, with the display turned toward you.
Purity read at the counter while you watch — no back room, no waiting.
The certificate is printed and boxed with the piece before you pay.
Rate, making and GST written out separately — before billing, never after.
The one number that changes daily. It is the base of every bill we write.
| Metal | Rate |
|---|
Rates move through the day. The rate on your bill is the rate at the moment of billing — confirm it at the counter or on WhatsApp.
Four components, in the order they appear on your bill. Nothing else gets added at the end.
Net weight × today's board rate for the karat you chose. This is the largest part of the bill and the part we do not control — it is the market's number, not ours.
The cost of craftsmanship — and, honestly, our margin. It varies with how much handwork a piece carries: a plain band is cheap to make, a jadau set is not. We quote it before billing, as a number you can argue with, never as a surprise line at the end. Our published range starts from 5.99%.
Charged separately on diamond, kundan and polki pieces, against the certificate that comes in the box. Uncut stones are priced by the piece, not fudged into the gold weight.
Charged at the statutory rate on the total, shown as its own line. It goes to the government, not to us.
Three different jobs. The marked rows are the ones where the other option beats what we would like to sell you.
