Making charges and hallmark

What you pay for, and how you know the gold is real.

BillFour lines, nothing else

A gold bill has only four parts: the weight of gold, the day’s rate, the making charge for the work, and 3% GST. Wastage is not charged separately. The making charge is the whole labour cost. GST of 3% is added on the total of gold value plus making charge. If you bring old gold, its value comes off before GST is worked out.

MakingHow we charge for the work

Simple work costs less, fine work costs more. The charge is fixed before we start and is written on the estimate you take home.

Machine-made chains, per gram of gold: ₹350 / g
Plain bangles, rings, studs: 8%
Carved and filigree work (jhumka, kaan, pendants): 12% to 14%
Stone-set and kundan, stone weight billed separately: 16% to 18%
Bridal sets made to order, fixed after the design is agreed: 14% to 20%
Silver items, on the silver value: 15% to 25%
Gold coins of 1 g, 2 g, 5 g and 10 g: ₹300 to ₹600

91622K gold is stamped 916

91.6% pure. This is what most Bengali ornaments are made in: bangles, haar, kaan, chur. Soft enough for fine carving, which is why the old designs are all in 22K.

75018K gold is stamped 750

75% pure, harder, better for stone setting and thin everyday chains. Priced lower per gram. A good choice for a daily-wear chain that will not bend.

925Silver is 92.5

Sterling silver for payel, puja items and gifts. Hallmarked where the piece is large enough to take a stamp.

HUIDA 6-digit code on every piece

Since 2023 every gold ornament sold in India must carry a BIS hallmark with a unique 6-digit HUID. Ours do. Type the number into the BIS Care app at the counter and see the purity record before you pay. We will show you where the stamp is with a loupe.

XRFFree purity check on any gold

Our XRF machine reads purity in two minutes without scratching the piece. Bring gold from anywhere, bought from anyone, and we will test it for no charge and tell you the real karat.

Ask for an estimate

Old gold exchange

Four steps, all of them in front of you.

We weigh it
On a digital scale that is checked every month. You see the number on the display, not on a slip.
We test the purity
On the XRF machine, not on a touchstone. Old 22K often reads 21K; you get the real value, not a guess.
Stones and lac come off
By weight only. Nothing else is deducted on gold bought from us. On gold from other shops, 2% to 4% for melting loss.
The value goes on your bill
At the day’s rate, before GST. Or take it as cash if the gold was bought here with a bill.

Our shop

Forty years on Rash Behari Avenue.

Swarnalata Jewellers was opened in 1984 by Nirmal Chandra Dutta, a goldsmith from Sinthee who had made ornaments for other shops for twenty years before he put his own name on a board. His son and daughter-in-law run the shop today. Four of our karigars have been with us for more than fifteen years.

We are a small shop and we like it that way. You sit, you are shown pieces one at a time, and nobody hurries you. Every price is worked out on paper in front of you: weight, rate, making charge, GST. If you want to come back the next day with your mother, the piece will be kept aside.

Questions people ask at the counter

Before you buy.

Can I order a design I saw somewhere else?

Yes. Bring a photo or a drawing. Our karigars will tell you the weight it will come to and the making charge, and we fix the price before work starts. Most made-to-order pieces take 2 to 4 weeks; bridal sets take 6 to 8.

What if a piece breaks or a stone falls out?

Repairs on gold bought from us are free for the first year, except for lost stones. After that we charge only for the work. Pieces from other shops are repaired at a small charge after a purity check.

Do you buy back gold?

Yes. Gold bought here with a bill is bought back at the day’s rate with no deduction except stone weight. Gold from elsewhere is bought after an XRF test with 2% to 4% deducted for melting.

How do I pay?

Cash, UPI, debit and credit cards, bank transfer. Card EMI of 3, 6 or 9 months on bills above ₹25,000. Payments above ₹2 lakh need a PAN card by law.

Will the price change between my visit and my pickup?

For made-to-order pieces the rate is fixed on the day you pay the advance, whichever way the market moves. For ready pieces the price is the rate on the day you buy.

Do you come home to show bridal pieces?

For bridal orders above ₹3 lakh, yes, within Kolkata. Call a week ahead. For everything else we would rather you come to the shop, where the light and the scale are.

From the shop

A few pieces and the people who wear them.

My mother bought her wedding chur here in 1989. We went back for my daughter’s set last winter. They showed us the bill on paper before we agreed to anything, and the weight was exactly what was written.

I put ₹5,000 a month into the scheme for my son’s annaprashan. The passbook was simple, and when the day came the 12th month was added without my asking. Bought a chain and a coin.
