Branded Jewellery: Is it a good Investment?
(Updated Mar 10, 2010)
This happened today so we thought we will write a post. A customer(who visited after reading our blog) asked us a rather pointed question.

In addition to what the weathermen are predicting for Delhi, gold is kicking the mercury several notches up.
