Re: Buying Jewellery - VFM Shops
Jewellery is never VFM![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
but you should always buy jewellery at your trusted family jeweller because nowadays there are many cases about cheating. You could search in Justdial for good jewellers and have a look at ratings.

Wastage charged in jewelleries.
I didn't want to post this on vaibhav's thread and create a off-topic discussion. So, Here's my question.
Have you guys ever thought to question the sales person/manager about wastage ? Why do you have to pay for something that you never get to see it in life. Have you ever asked to provide the wastage bits along with your purchased jewellery ? Asking for making charge is reasonably fair cause you pay that money for labor to craft the jewellery. But for wastage ? Seriously, This happens only in our country ( AFAIK )

Re: Wastage charged in jewelleries.
AFAIK the wastage charged to customer is 1 point more that what is paid to the craftsman.
Here what the jeweler gets is only the labor charges that he gets from you, in return is the life long service and his guarantee for the goods that he has sold yo you ( you need to have the bill for it). Also the small gifts that ladies ask for free.

Nevermind, My post moved back to vaibhav.
The maximum you can get from a jewel shop as gift, would be a money purse, a luggage bag or something else related to bag/suitcase. And did I mention they're all made in cheap materials ? Oh yes. The moment when you use it 2-3 times. The zip lock will stop working followed by the stitches and you throw the bag in garbage or use it to store your old clothes.
If they're charging from us to pay their craftsman for the work. Then it should be included as making charge %.
Should be simple something like..
GOLD RATE x Weight: xxxx
Making Charge: xxx%
Service tax: xx%
