This is exactly what the post is saying that branded jewellery is paying for the brand/star power and not the actual ornament itself.
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. He was wondering: Why cant a jeweller fake all the 5 symbols of hallmarking. I think he was actually questioning the weak regulation in our country:) And he had read more...

And last weeks crashing gold prices didnt just sent consumers on a buying spree but also a topic of hot conversations on both sides of the counter. A few topics of conversations around this phenomenon which I was a part of or over heard m read more...

But nobody in GOld SOuk offers you a 30-Day 100% Money Back. None of them has a exchange = cash back offer.

In addition to what the weathermen are predicting for Delhi, gold is kicking the mercury several notches up. And if you are a fashionista who is cringing at the thought of rising gold prices or a jewellery buyer with a imminent marriage in the family. Despair not.

HI, You have raised some very pertinent points here and being a practising jeweller I have a few comments to add. 1) TRUE: Whenever a jeweller commissions a goldsmith(karigar) to make a jewelry item. There is certain wastage and making charges(both) incurred . It is absolutely wrong marketing read more...

Hi, A consumer should always remember that the value of an item is the money it will fetch in the market when you sell it. And if that can be the yardstick then Branded jewlelery has failed by that measure. Just question this why is a return policy of exchange not equal to cash back.
