Ami USA te prochur 18K/ 14K/10K goina kinechi (for personal use). Ami generally JC Penney ba Famous Barr/ Macy theke kinechi. Ei sob sona amar bhison pochonder.

Jodio bole rakha bhalo je sonar rong ta kintu 22K er moton atota sonali noi. Kintu daamer dik diye tumi anek ta subidha pabe. tar upor tumi jewelry section er 'clearance section' ta bhalo kore dekho.ekhane generally 70% off thake, tar por tumi additional discount pete paro.

Diamond jewelry charao ami anek reasonable rate e Tanzanites, ruby ar pearls er goina o kinechi. All of those are in superb shape, ami regularly parties e pore jai. Tobe hain, jotno kore tule o rakhi.

Sonar daam - USA o India te

There is no major difference between price of gold in US and India. Aj ker rate tai dekhe nao.
USA: $916.13 per ounce on the open market
Convert korle : $916.13 x 39.825 = INR 36,484.877
India: INR36,328.11 per ounce on the open market.
So, the rate of gold is the same.And consequently, retail gold is also comparable.

But, there is one factor. Ei deshe tumi 'sale' ba 'discount' e jewelry kinte parbe.India te kintu aj obdi kono dokane ami 'sale' ba 'discount' dekhini.at the max, tumi ekta pressure cooker free pete paro. :-)

karat mane ki ?

Pure gold is so soft it is rarely used in jewelry. Jewelers deal with various gold alloys, collectively called karat gold.
Karat (K) tells the number of parts, by weight, of gold in 24 parts of alloy.

Pure gold is 24K. 18K is 18 parts fine gold and 6 parts metal; 14K is 14 parts fine gold and 10 parts metal; and 10K is 10 parts fine gold and 14 parts other metal. Yellow gold generally contains equal amounts of silver and copper as other metals. 10K, 14K ba 18K sonar goina te kharap kichui nei. apart from the fact that it contains less amt of gold, and hence is way less expensive.

India-r sona koto karat hoy?

India te generally 22K hoi.But apart from Tanishq (and a couple of other brand stores) most jewelry are not certified.

Diamond-er price somporke kichhu katha

Diamond er price per carat differ kore. Price per carat goes up as the weight goes up, and prices leap at certain critical weights.

Example prices for Round / G / VS2:

0.46 - 0.49 Price per carat: $ 2,8000
.50 - 0.69 Price per carat: $ 3,6000
.70 - 0.89 Price per carat: $ 4,7000
.90 - 0.99 Price per carat: $ 5,700
1.00 - 1.49 Price per carat: $ 6,600

Ta chara color, clarity ar cut er upor damer her-fer hoi.
Tumi jodi $20-30 te 'diamond' paccho, ta hole ami na dekhei bole dite pari, je se gulo fake.

Sostay Bajimaat!

$50-100 er modhye to nana rokom er goina paowa jai. Kintu ki gemstone er, ba ki material use korche tar upor depend korche. kuchi kuchi diamond ar 10K gold hole, $50 te diamond ring paoya jeteo pare.But, I have my reservations.
