Smart Jewellery Shopping Tips for Your Wedding
Compare Before You Buy
Visit at least 3–4 jewellers and compare making charges, gold purity, and total price for the same design. Making charges vary from 8% to 25% — this can save ₹20,000–₹50,000 on a ₹3L bridal set.
Always Buy BIS Hallmarked Gold
Insist on BIS 916 hallmark (6-digit HUID) on all bridal jewellery. This guarantees 91.6% pure gold and protects your resale value. Avoid plain "22K" stamps without the BIS mark.
Negotiate Making Charges
Making charges are negotiable, especially on bulk bridal orders. Ask for a flat per-gram rate instead of percentage — for heavy pieces (necklace 50g+), even ₹100/g off saves ₹5,000+. Festive seasons (Dhanteras, Akshaya Tritiya) often bring lower charges.
Buy Jewellery in Advance
Gold prices tend to rise over time. Booking your bridal jewellery 3–6 months before the wedding locks in today's rate. Many jewellers offer advance booking schemes — ask about rate-lock or gold accumulation plans.
