I have my Kalyan jewellers scheme about to mature

10 months done, around 57 gms gold accumulated. With 19.5% making free , rest payable plus 3% Gst

Now i went for early look, but most of temple jewelry had 25 percent plus making.

One set combo we liked , is in pic.

But we can also go for bangles (attached in 2nd pic) , making 18.9 percent .

Set combo wt around 56gms. But i have to pay 5.5 percent plus 3 prcnt gst ...which will be around 75k extra

If i go for 40gm bangles 16gm small temple set, extra payable is 25k around.

Should i spend 50k more? Any other option? Anyone else who redeemed it smartly.

Edit Just to add, i already have 1 long antique set 70 80gms

Paid 4.84 L

Weight 31.24

50% discount on making charges. Effectively 8.5%

92.5 silver cada only below 100 grams

Price Silver+250 par gram mc

Around 12g, used the savings scheme so got good discount on making

I have purchased this bracelet on Oct 4th bhima online zero making charge , after reading so many blogs here. I decided to buy this beautiful bracelet weighing 14.4 grams, the cherry on top was the gold price, which was 600 less per gram compared to the market rate.

Price was 193798.

Thanks to this sub ☺️

Edit : I have got this tested at tanishq and the weight was 14.3 grams and purity was 22kt. The sales executive told me that it might change after melting the ornament

Note - This is not for everyone, which means it is not for investment. This is a unique and legendary design

Yesterday, I posted a picture of this 92.5 silver Hanuman Chalisa kada. Some people asked for more pictures and the price, so here's a video showing the full design in detail.

This is an antique-style kada with the Hanuman Chalisa engraved all around it. The design is detailed, traditional, and quite different from a regular silver kada.

I understand that some people may find the price too high, and that's completely fine. Everyone has different tastes and priorities.

This kada is not for everyone. Some people prefer simple jewellery, while others appreciate detailed craftsmanship and traditional designs.

If you're looking at it only as silver by weight, you may find it expensive. But if you appreciate this kind of design, you might see its appeal.

Have a look at the full video and tell me honestly would you wear something like this, or is it not your style?

Hello I ordered first time today from Bhima , I really wanted to have diamond studs but as diamond is not investment, I ended up purchasing this 22KT from jewellery at 0 making charges for 36k . I am confused how this will look , if anyone bought similar earrings from bhima please show its real pic in comments and let me know how my purchase look.

Checked these dainty 18k pieces. I’m not sure how durable they would be. Any suggestions for everyday use?

How do you guys find this design?

Bought this 22K gold pendant + earrings set recently (4.7g). Just curious to know what fellow gold/jewellery enthusiasts think of the design. 😊

18k Gold Body, with Centre studded diamonds, bought 2 days ago

1.4L

20% making charge (after discount on MC)

From Tanishq

These two are going to be my wedding ring stack. Engagement and wedding.

Details:

It is custom made and is made in natural diamond.

Solitaire is close to one carat EF color Vvs2

And the others are 30 cents each diamonds in Gh SI

Both in 18k gold

Currently the bezel for each ring is in white gold and the rest of the ring in yellow gold.

I have always been a yellow gold person. But I am conflicted if I want these in white or yellow.

What would you reccomend and why?

I have always wanted to buy a Thushi, but the hollow gold balls have always made me unsure about whether I should actually buy one.
Now that I am in Pune, I really want to get a Thushi. Can anyone please suggest what kind of Thushi would make sense and ensure that I am not being cheated? I have heard that jewellers sometimes fill the hollow gold balls with wax to increase the weight.
I am planning to buy it from PNG, so any suggestions on what I should look for or which design would be a sensible choice would be really helpful.
