Jewellery shopping in Kolkata

Well-crafted trinkets are always in fashion, and when you adorn them, heads turn your way. It is very alluring, and also a great investment. Prices of gold are soaring, and if you are keen to invest in jewellery-then read on and simply dazzle away.

There a few golden rules though, before you swipe the card. Please make enquiries on the credibility of the jeweller, and always insist on authenticity certificates. Some of them offer discounts, and also wave away making charges. And always remember to collect the bill, as it is a legal document, and can be used to make claims.

Start your gold rush with branded collections at Tanishq, Orra and Gilli, and at stores like Shopper’s Stop, Westside and Pantaloons. But if you want original pieces, made to your style, then make an appointment with the city jewellers.

Kolkata has many jewellery shops, which have been doing business for generations. They have built a solid reputation, and a long list of clients. Some of them are B Sirkar, PC Chandra and Chandrani Pearls. B Sirkar and P C Chandra are legends in their own right, and no Bengali wedding is complete without an exquisite piece of jewellery from them. There are tantalising necklaces, chokers, chains, rings, bangles, bracelets and nose rings which will fill you with glee. They have numerous showrooms and franchisees spread all across the city. However the main branches have the biggest collections and fabulous deals are offered here.

Madanji Meghraj is another jewellery shop that’s making a big claim here. It’s a hot favourite with the large non –Bengali population. They have a show-room at Burra Bazaar, and one in south Calcutta as well. Most of their designs are heavily influenced on what’s hot in Bombay, Gujarat and Rajasthan.

Are you ready for a dazzling make-over!
