I was thrilled to discover the Gold Testing Machine, Aurumo by Maxsell which detects up to 79+ metals in gold jewellery. The key highlights of the machine are:
- This machine is compact and easy to use.
- It has transparent glass to view the ornament while testing.
- The large chambers make it easy to place and test large ornaments.
- It comes with a 9.7-inch touchscreen for detailed information.
- The machine is serviceable with low-cost maintenance.
- The result is out in just 20 seconds.
Aurum 6 by Maxsell enables jewellery store owners to share accurate gold karat with their customers.
Light Weight Gold Jewellery is here! Bold, Statement and Gold Jewellery have been globally admired by women but with the rise in the gold rate, Lightweight Gold jewellery is becoming much sought after.
At the GJS Show, I discovered Gold jewellery which looks heavy and voluminous but is extremely light in weight and pocket such as:
- 350 grams Bridal antique gold.: The manufacturing technique makes the design look voluminous in size… but the bridal set is extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. Jewels by Aadey Jewels Ahmedabad.
- 250 grams of Bridal Temple Jewellery: Temple jewellery is often heavy but the manufacturing procedure used here ensures the aesthetic of temple jewellery is not sacrificed keeping the weight light.
- 150 grams Bridal Yellow gold jewellery: The cutting-edge technology keeps the weight light with great precision and detailing.
Now there is no need to worry about the rising gold rates as these lightweight bridal jewellery are customised to suit your pocket and are trendy as well!
It was a pleasure moderating a power-packed Panel Discussion on the Role of Women in the Gem and Jewellery Industry at the GJS Show. The estemmed panelist were
