Which Jeweller Has the Lowest Making Charges?

Looking for the jeweller with the lowest making charges?
Here’s a complete guide to help you compare offers, understand what making charges actually mean, and identify where you can save the most when buying gold or diamond jewellery.

What Are Making Charges?

Making charges are the labour and craftsmanship cost added on top of the gold price.
They can be calculated as a percentage of gold value, as ₹ per gram, or as a flat amount per piece.
Since the gold rate is publicly known, the biggest difference in final jewellery prices often comes from making charges and stone markups.

How to Compare Making Charges Across Jewellers

  1. Ask for a detailed breakup — gold value, making charges, stone charges, taxes.

  2. Convert everything to rupees so you can compare 0% making vs ₹/gram discounts accurately.

  3. Check exclusions — some jewellers exclude coins or certain collections.

  4. Confirm purity & certification — BIS hallmark for gold; IGI/GIA certification for diamonds.

Example: Finding the True Lowest Making Charges

Scenario A — Gold bangle (20g) at ₹800/g making

  • Total making: ₹16,000

  • Offer 1: 50% off making → Save ₹8,000

  • Offer 2: ₹200 off per gram → Save ₹4,000
    Winner: Offer 1 gives more savings.

Scenario B — Diamond ring (MRP ₹1,20,000, making ₹15,000, diamond value ₹50,000)

  • Offer 1: 0% making → Save ₹15,000

  • Offer 2: 20% off MRP → Save ₹24,000
    Winner: Offer 2 is better for diamond jewellery.

Signs You’re Getting the Lowest Making Charges

  • Transparent written estimate

  • Clear rate slabs (less for heavier pieces)

  • No hidden “up to” conditions

  • Option to combine with exchange or bank offers

Quick Checklist

  • Compare at least two jewellers

  • Verify hallmarking and certifications

  • Ask for the final, out-the-door price including GST

  • Photograph or note down the offer details
