Frequently Asked Questions

Before buying gold jewellery in Nagpur, always check the following:

• BIS Hallmark: Ensure the jewellery has a valid BIS hallmark with HUID number. Since June 2021, hallmarking is mandatory in India.
• HUID Verification: Verify the HUID number on the BIS Care app or website to confirm purity.
• Purity (Karat): 22K (916) is standard for jewellery; 24K (999) for coins/bars.
• Making Charges: Ask for a clear breakdown of gold value + making charges + GST.
• Billing: Insist on a proper tax invoice with GST number, gold weight, purity, and HUID.
• Exchange/Buyback Policy: Understand the store's exchange and buyback terms before purchasing.

At Londe Jewellers Nagpur, all gold jewellery is 100% BIS hallmarked with transparent pricing and clear billing.

BIS Hallmark is a quality certification mark issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that guarantees the purity of gold jewellery. It is mandatory in India since June 2021. A BIS hallmarked piece carries:

• BIS logo
• Purity grade (e.g., 916 for 22K, 750 for 18K)
• 6-digit alphanumeric HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) number

The HUID can be verified on the BIS Care app or at bis.gov.in. Always buy BIS hallmarked gold to ensure you get the exact purity you are paying for. Londe Jewellers guarantees 100% BIS hallmarked gold with verifiable HUID on every piece.

When buying diamond jewellery, always ask for an IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certification. These certificates verify the diamond's 4Cs:

• Carat: Weight of the diamond
• Colour: Grade from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow)
• Clarity: Grade from FL (flawless) to I3 (included)
• Cut: Quality of the diamond's cut affecting brilliance

You can verify any IGI certificate at igi.org and GIA certificate at gia.edu using the certificate number. At Londe Jewellers, all diamond jewellery comes with authentic IGI or GIA certification.

Making charges are the labour and craftsmanship cost added to the gold value when making jewellery. They cover designing, casting, polishing, stone setting, and finishing. Making charges vary based on:

• Design complexity: Intricate designs like temple jewellery or filigree work have higher making charges
• Jewellery type: Machine-made pieces have lower charges than handcrafted pieces
• Weight: Charges may be per gram or as a percentage of gold value

At Londe Jewellers, making charges are transparently mentioned on every price tag and bill. We offer competitive making charges and special discounts on making charges during festivals and promotions. Visit our stores for the latest offers.
