Do you have warranty on the jewelry?
All jewelry sold Online and in our retail store in Decatur, GA USA is guaranteed 22kt gold or as marked. 22kt gold jewelry is softer than 18k or 14k jewelry. We carry the highest quality of jewelry workmanship, however, please note that we do not offer any warranty on breakages or perceived workmanship as the life of the jewelry depends on use and care.
As with any jewelry, due care is required while in use, and more so with 22kt jewelry, as it is softer, things can happen in a day or a decade, you never know, so please take care of your jewelry.
Please also note that we fix the jewelry we sell and most of the times the repair is free, if it is just replacing faceted gemstones, pearls, corals and CZs.
Please take extra care with jewelry studded with pearls, turquoise and corals and other UN-FACETED stones.
All un-faceted stones, have no grip or girdle that the stone can be set on, and, they are set with pressure. Sometimes, pressure loosens and pearls/corals tend to fall off and more likely when the gold is softer like 22k gold.
It is often perceived that jewelry purchased in India and Pakistan, does not break easily or stones do not fall off that easily, the reason for this is, even though the customer is paying for 22kt gold, it is never 22k gold as there is more mixing of alloy hence making it less pure but more hard and strong. There is a misconception that jewelry is of any better quality workmanship, it is just less pure, this is a general fact.
There are many honest jewelers in India that do not cheat and if they use the same amount of gold as we do then the strength and stone setting life would be the same, as most of our jewelry is either made by the same people, that make jewelry in India or their experts who have left India and settled in Middle east, where we buy from.
To Summarize even though we carry the highest quality jewelry, we do not warranty breakages or stones falling off as it depends on the use and care and there is more tendency of 22k jewelry to break or stones fall off if due care is not taken.

What is the difference between 18k white gold jewelry and 22k gold jewelry with a rhodium polish or rhodium plating to give it a white look?
As You may be aware, finished gold is yellow in color, to make it white you need to alloy it or mix it with a white metal. The more the white metal the more the gold becomes white. Typically we use palladium as the alloy which gives it a white look and subsequently plated with Rhodium for the great sheen. 18Kt white gold will have 25% of the white metal, usually palladium, to retain its value when resold and 75% of 24kt Yellow gold.
Sometimes we can also plate the 22kt gold with rhodium, a very thick plate of rhodium will give a yellow gold piece to look white and hence it is called 22kt white gold jewelry. Almost all 22kt white gold is 22 Kt yellow gold plated with Rhodium.
Back to FAQ Index
Why not make the beautiful hand-made Gold Jewelry in complete 18k white gold?
Almost all of our white gold jewelry is 18k gold white gold, with palladium alloy, as 18kt harder than the 22k gold, the labor to make the very fine designs and filigree is very very difficult and hence the price is higher than 22kt white gold and 22kt yellow gold.
Back to FAQ Index
Why is white Gold Jewelry more expensive than 22k yellow Gold Jewelry ?
The 25 percent alloy required to make the gold white is composed of expensive white metals like Palladium, Platinum and Rhodium the cost of the alloy and the difficulty in the fabrication process makes white gold jewelry more expensive.
What is 2 tone, or 3 tone, antique, Enamel, Meenakari finishes all about?
2 Tone finishing is yellow gold plated with rhodium at select places.
3 tone is yellow gold plated with rhodium at select places and copper color oxidized finishing.
Meenakari & Enamel is colored rocks found in parts of India which is melted and placed like paint on top of the gold. Meenakari is one of the best art forms in jewelry.
Back to FAQ Index
Why is the precious and semi-precious stone jewelry more expensive compared to plain gold jewelry?
We use genuine precious stones and semi-precious stones in our Jewelry, the precious stones are lot more expensive than gold and hence the jewelry with stones gets comparatively more expensive. Also The labor of matching natural stones by size and color and setting is more than making plain jewelry. The stones used in our gold jewelry are sold by the carats, and the price of each carat of precious stones is appx. $20-$30 per carat and semi-precious stones from $10-$15 per carat.
Back to FAQ Index
WHY IS THE PRICE OF YOUR GOLD DIFFERENT FROM PRICE INDICATED ON WEBSITES LIKE KITCO OR MONEX OR GOLDPRICE.COM or other online sources ?
That price does not include the premium to physically own or have gold, that is the market quote for the commodity, wherein you can just speculate if u have an account with a commodities broker / bullion trading network.
All forms of physical gold has PREMIUM, it depends on what form it is in and in what size, shape and marking and type of fabrication.
The gold price indicated by you is similar to the commodity prices of oil, Soya bean, coffee, heating oil, gas etc, these are commodity prices for speculation and hedging purpose, you cannot get certified physical gold at that price.
Just for example check the following link for price of corn oil or coffee beans or other commodities prices and check out the price at the super market or Starbucks coffee beans price, our price is very similar to that.
http://money.cnn.com/data/commodities/
The base gold price we sell at is mentioned on our website at the bottom of each page and we change the price as per the market quote on each day, or when gold moves significantly to warrant a gold price change.
The final jewelry price displayed online is derived by adding the base price of gold + making + customs duty + wastage + cost of acquiring (Import charges, shipping from factory, insurance), COST OF DOING BUSINESS(These include many small things) + very small profit margin + shipping and forwarding to customer, Credit card processing fee + Credit Risk + Dead stock disposition cost + Finance charges and many other charges that all jewelers incur to do business and to provide exceptional service to customers.
