Draw the wire
Poured into a steel mould to cast a rod, then pulled through smaller and smaller dies into wire. The making charge starts here.

Cut, bent round a mandrel and soldered shut into a bangle.
Decorate
Granules, engraving and set stones, by hand. Stones are billed on top of the metal.
Polish and hallmark
Polished, assayed and stamped 22K916 inside the band. In India the stamp adds the BIS mark and a six-character HUID.

- History
- Ten years, day by day. Where a place’s own published rates begin later than that, the earlier line follows international prices, scaled to meet them.
