Jewellers
Jewellers of Kashi — gold, silver and traditional Banarasi ornaments.
11 listedJewellers in Varanasi range from old family gold and silver houses near Thatheri Bazaar and Chowk to modern showrooms, selling traditional and contemporary designs along with the city silver and gemstone work.

Good to know
- Buy only BIS-hallmarked gold — it carries a 6-digit HUID and certifies purity.
- Ask the current gold/silver rate and how making charges and GST are calculated.
- Always take a proper itemised bill (needed for exchange, resale and warranty).
- Get a separate certificate for diamonds or gemstones.
Frequently asked
What is gold hallmarking and why does it matter?
Hallmarking by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifies the gold purity (caratage). Hallmarked gold carries the BIS mark, the purity (for example 22K916) and a unique HUID. It protects you from under-karat gold.
How is the final price calculated?
Price = (gold rate x weight) + making charges + GST, minus the value of any old gold exchanged. Making charges vary by design, so ask for the breakup before buying.
Can I exchange or sell jewellery back?
Most jewellers buy back or exchange their own hallmarked pieces against the current rate, with a deduction. Keep the original bill — it is essential for a fair exchange.
