Kundan Jewellers, Flat
When you buy a piece of gold jewellery, you're paying for two things: the value of the gold itself, and the "making charges" — the labour, craftsmanship, and design work that turns raw metal into a finished piece.
Making charges typically range from 8% to 25% across the industry, depending on design complexity, brand overheads, and retail markups. On eligible designs, Kundan Jewellers charges a flat 2.5% instead — so the price you see is honest, and the savings are real.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are "making charges" in jewellery?+
Making charges are the fee a jeweller adds on top of the metal and stone value to cover the labour and craftsmanship of turning raw gold into a finished piece.
Why do making charges usually range from 8% to 25%?+
Making charges vary by design complexity, brand overheads, and retail markups — intricate handcrafted pieces or branded showroom jewellery often carry charges at the higher end of this range.
How can Kundan Jewellers charge a flat 2.5%?+
Eligible designs are priced with a flat, transparent making charge — no hidden design or brand premiums — so the price you see is the price you pay.
Does the flat 2.5% apply to every piece?+
It applies to eligible designs across our collection. Certain intricately handcrafted or heavily studded pieces may vary — ask our team in-store or on WhatsApp for exact details on a specific design.
Does a lower making charge mean lower quality?+
No — every piece is hallmarked and crafted to the same certified purity and craftsmanship standards, regardless of making charge.
