Shopping for gold near Itwari and Sarafa Bazar? Londe Jewellers Gold & Diamonds Sitabuldi is a short 10 to 15 minute drive west, a full range showroom with 22K BIS hallmarked gold, itemised making charges you can read on your bill, and the same rate for buying and selling. Walk in any day, 11 AM to 8:30 PM.
Itwari is the beating heart of old Nagpur trade, and Sarafa Bazar inside it is the city's original wholesale gold market. For generations, families walked the narrow Sarafa lanes to buy bullion and get ornaments made to order. That tradition still runs strong, and for a bullion buyer who knows the day's rate, Sarafa remains a genuine option. What has changed is what most families now want when they buy finished jewellery: a BIS hallmark with a verifiable HUID, an itemised bill that separates gold value from making charges, and a written assurance for repair and exchange. That is exactly the gap a modern hallmarked showroom fills, which is why so many Itwari and Mahal families now finish their buying at Londe Jewellers Sitabuldi, minutes away.
Both routes have a place. Sarafa suits bullion buyers who know the day's rate. A hallmarked showroom suits families buying finished jewellery who want the bill, the hallmark and the after sales cover in writing. Here is how the two compare on the points that matter most in 2026.
| What you get | Itwari Sarafa Bazar (typical) | Londe Jewellers Sitabuldi |
|---|---|---|
| BIS hallmark and HUID | Varies by shop, not always stamped | Every piece, HUID printed on bill, verifiable at bis.gov.in |
| Making charges | Often bundled into the final price | Itemised separately, 8% to 12% plain, printed on your bill |
| Buy and sell rate | Usually a per gram spread each way | One Nagpur rate both directions, no spread |
| Old gold exchange | Deduction varies, often negotiated | 0% deduction on 22K and 24K, XRF tested in front of you |
| After sales | Rarely in writing | Lifetime free repair and polish on pieces bought here |
| Range on display | Wholesale focused, made to order | Full finished range, bridal, diamond, mangalsutra, coins |
The point is not that Sarafa is wrong. It is that a family buying a mangalsutra, a bridal set or a diamond ring usually wants the hallmark, the itemised bill and the after sales cover to be plain and in writing. That is what a hallmarked showroom a short drive away gives you without losing the trust of a family jeweller.
