Making charges are the jeweller's labour fee added on top of the gold value, charged either per gram/tola or as a percentage (commonly 5–25% depending on design), sometimes with a separate wastage charge.
Last updated · How we calculate
Jewellery price = gold weight × today's karat rate + making charges + wastage + stone charges (+ tax where applicable).
Compare making charges, not just the gold rate. Machine-made chains are cheaper to make than handcrafted bridal sets. Ask how much will be deducted when you sell back.
Usually not. When you sell, you are paid for the gold content only, often minus a small deduction.
