# Handcrafted sterling silver jewellery, sold by weight

Labour is the cost in jewellery, and Indian hand-work is world-class and cheap — intricate sterling pieces price at little over metal value.

Price: 6600 INR (Typical 20–25 g stamped-925 bangle or earrings at ~₹260–300/g all-in (metal + making charges + GST) after the 2026 global silver price surge (999-fine spot ~₹234–250/g in India as of July 2026, up from ~₹100/g a year earlier), Jaipur bazaar rates)

Where to buy: Johari Bazaar and Chameliwala Market (Jaipur), Dariba Kalan (Old Delhi); Amrapali's flagship for museum-grade tribal silver at fixed prices.

- Buy by weight: ask for the day's silver rate, the gram weight on a scale in front of you, and making charges separately
- Look for '925' stamps and ask for a purity receipt; BIS-hallmarked silver exists but is less universal than for gold
- Bazaar quality varies — oxidised 'silver-look' alloy is everywhere in tourist rows; weight-and-rate pricing is your fraud filter
- Haggling is expected in bazaars, not at Amrapali/fixed-price stores
