Please refer to the question above.
Prices of the products on the website are subject to change without notice, and can vary from piece to piece, and from time to time, depending on the price of raw materials at the time of production. Gold, silver and precious stones are commodities, with market fluctuations beyond our control.
- Occasionally, a piece will sell, and then be recreated at a later date with a difference in price. This could happen due to various reasons - as our products are handcrafted it could be due to a difference in the weight of product or even due to the fluctuation in metal prices.
- Each product involves at least 5-6 processes which need a different artisan for each process. Once the design is ready the prices may go up as silver prices keep fluctuating and the weight of the design may also change. Since our products are handcrafted these changes are beyond our control.
- This simply reflects the market value of the raw materials and may not mean that we have increased our mark-up.
- Yes the rates for our jewellery are uniform across all retail channels .We take pride in the fact that our jewellery is priced responsibly and in a sustainable way. Read more about our pricing policy here
