Lowest Wastage and Making Charges Gold Jewellery Provider | Thangamayil Jewellery


While buying any gold jewelry you look at the beautiful designs, and how wonderful they would look on you when you wear them. You end up purchasing the ones that win your heart with their intricate motifs or subtle style and also that fit your budget with their prices. However, most of us are unaware of pure gold's journey to become that particular piece of our favorite design. It is a long process of various efforts made by the jewelers to present that fine astonishing piece of gold in front of us. And before buying any piece of gold jewelry, you must know about the various factors that influence the prices that you pay finally.

The Process:

Whenever you buy gold in any form of jewelry, you don’t just pay for the design crafted by the jeweler or the weight of your gold piece. The price that you invest in also includes the gold purity as well as the effort and the artistry of the craftsmen that shaped, polished, cut, and molded that gold into the design you get. The final price is calculated the following way:


Price of jewelry = gold rate per gram of a particular purity of gold x weight of gold in jewelry + making charge per gram + GST. 


All of these along with GST (on Jewellery plus making charge) determine the final price of a gold jewelry piece which may often vary from jeweler to jeweler. However, the gold rate per gram remains the same in a city and is often similar throughout the country. You can check the live gold rate in India online and check the current gold price whenever you want. 

What are Making Charges?

Making charge is the cost of the process involved in producing and designing any piece of gold jewelry that you buy. In simple words, it is the cost of changing raw gold into fine jewelry. Also, gold purity plays an important part in making changes. If the gold is stronger and more durable, it can be molded into fine designer jewelry by craftsmen. Certainly, if the design is more intricate, there will be more time and artistry invested into its making, and so, the making charge for it may also vary accordingly. It is always recommended to buy gold with a BIS hallmark, which certifies its purity. Making charge is usually expressed in Rupees per gram of gold.


Making a charge can make the whole difference in the price of your gold jewelry no matter from where you buy it. It may vary from one piece of jewelry to other and from one jeweler to another. Jewelers use different ways of computing these charges. Some jewelers include making charges at a fixed rate per gram of gold, while others' charge is based on a percentage of the total jewelry weight. For mass-market machine-made jewelry like simple gold chains, the making charges usually range from 3% to 25%. For items like pure gold coins, the making charges are negligible or very less compared to gold jewelry.


While, in the case of very intricate designs that require skilled craftsmanship, like wedding jewelry, these charges could go up to almost 25%. Studded jewelry pieces usually involve very intricate work and thus they incur higher making charges than plain gold jewelry. However, you can find various online platforms that give you discount on making charges.

What are Wastage Charges?

Crafting gold jewelry pieces requires melting, cutting, and shaping them, leading to a possible amount of wastage as the perfect pieces are joined together to form a single piece of well-designed jewelry. Traditional jewelers always keep a margin for the amount of gold wastage usually charged to customers at a percentage included in the final price. This concept originated because jewelers used their hands in the old times resulting in a certain amount of gold wastage, and even modern machine-made jewelry has a wastage charge component. 


Pieces that are embellished with stones cause a little more wastage than plainer gold jewelry. Hence, the charges will differ accordingly and can range anywhere between 5-7%. However, modern methods and techniques used are generally more efficient in using gold in jewelry production, minimizing the wastage that occurs while crafting the designer pieces.


So whether you buy gold jewelry online or offline, it is important to keep in mind these things mentioned above to make your purchase safe and reliable.
