Raja Jewellers’ Guide: The Truth About Gold Jewellery

At Raja Jewellers, we believe jewellery is not just an ornament—it is an investment of trust, value, and emotion. While many consumers are influenced by the idea of “brands,” the truth is that in the gold market, there is no brand value—only purity, craftsmanship, and transparency.

As jewellers committed to honesty and awareness, we want our customers to be fully informed before making their purchase.

Purity: The Real Measure of Gold

The true worth of gold jewellery lies in its purity, measured in karats (kt):
• 22kt Gold – Widely used in traditional jewellery.
• 18kt & 14kt Gold – Commonly used in diamond-studded and contemporary designs.

At Raja Jewellers, we ensure that customers clearly understand what they are buying—because purity is the foundation of value.

Caratometer: Transparency You Can Trust

Hallmarking has become a common practice, but it is not always reliable. Hallmark stamps can sometimes be incorrect. Jewellery marked as 22kt often turns out to be 18kt when tested.

That is why Raja Jewellers uses the Caratometer—the only scientific and accurate machine to test purity. We check both new and old jewellery for our customers, ensuring complete trust and transparency.

The Confusion of Different Gold Rates

In today’s market, customers are often puzzled by different gold rates quoted by various jewellers. The truth is simple:

Jewellery Price = Gold Rate + Making Charges

If one jeweller shows a lower gold rate, they may be compensating with higher making charges—and vice versa. At Raja Jewellers, we encourage our customers to look at the total cost, not just the rate, so they can make informed decisions.

⸻

Making Charges: Why They Differ

Making charges reflect the design, labour, and craftsmanship that go into each piece. These charges are not fixed, because every ornament is different:
• Simple, machine-made designs have lower making charges.
• Intricate, handcrafted pieces require higher workmanship.

At Raja Jewellers, making charges typically range between 10% to 25%, depending on the jewellery type. We maintain complete transparency in explaining this to our customers.
