Finally she got her choice of ornaments
Getting your choice of ornament is luck and finally she got what she wanted at Malabar Gold, Patia. Friday is our lucky day, and that is why we choose this Friday to go for the purchase. She was very much interested to buy it during Dhanteras (posted here, but then she returned disappointed because she was looking for a specific type of Necklace that comes with gem stones. Most of the time we buy something as we go with a mindset to buy it, but she preferred to return instead. As the marriage season is going on, we decided to go to the nearest Malabar Gold store, Patia and try her luck.
And the new collections that have come in, did not disappoint her - she loved this one.
But wait, this was not the only one. Since long she was asking me to exchange her old necklace, and I was not willing because, it's always a loss to exchange GOLD. You pay the making charge and when you exchange, they pay you in current gold price, if its 22 crt gold. And you again pay the making charge on new ornaments. So you always loose that amount, which is big. But considering her desire to try these new designs, this time I allowed her to exchange her old necklace. If she does not wear what she has, then its useless. Another important factor was that Malabar Gold has a fair evaluation of old gold for exchange and also have a fair price policy which allows for transparent and reasonable pricing of products. So before going for the exchange , they spent a good amount of time to finalize their choice of ornaments.
One of their staff Sasmita Sahu, was very patient to not only assist them to find out what they wanted, but very very helpful to take us through the entire purchase and exchange process, admire her patience. The exchange process has changed significantly in recent times and is very transparent. They now have a digital scanner ( like X-ray machine), which can scan the gold and tell what carat it is.
It's pretty costly , but as you can see, it can exactly evaluate your old gold quality and guarantee a fair price. In older days they would reserve some percentage, that would pinch your pocket. Now that we have such niche technology, we always get back the right price of our old gold.
This was her old Necklace - a bit traditional and she could wear only in occasions like marriage etc. So she wanted something modern and latest. Though they scanned the gold, their next step in exchange is to melt it at 900 °C and make it a perfect biscuit of gold for exchange, removing any impurities, so that its not a loss to them as well. So this is the last appearance of this necklace before it went to RIP. She did give some of her other gold jewelries as well, luckily all of them came out 22 carat.
This melting machine is also pretty costly and the price is based on capacity. But its good to see such niche machines being available that can melt the gold in 5 minutes, which guarantees a fair exchange price to you. And finally it came like this - a tiny gold biscuit.
He was trying to understand the whole process and follow up to make sure, everything is calculated right - something that will come in his future use.
And then as we moved to the final billing process, he went to the McDonalds store that is just beside this show room and enjoyed some vegetarian bites.
Here is what they brought - the entire collection of purchases.
And before coming back happily, Sasmita offered a nice gift as well - she waited till this long and went for lunch only after we came out - pretty dedicated to her job.
This will be part of my google review of this place.

Quite fast. Technology is making the things scalable.
Wonderful. Indeed very transparent, Everything is executed in front of your eyes. And 5 mins is super fast compared what traditional method we followed in the previous decade.
I was overwhelmed to see such advancement in the exchange process - flawless. They weighed before the melting and the scanner showed everything as 22 carat and the biscuit exactly matched the weight - a very tiny impurities in milligrams.
Gold desires were fulfilled because your wife had shown willingness to wait. She did not get tempted by the festive occasion. So patience has rewarded her with the best choice. I also love contemporary design over the traditional ones.
True, its often a mistake to buy in rush times.
After a long but got. Ladies never forget her choice 🤣
The old necklace was also beautiful. Everything is fine if your wife is happy. Very nice jewelry buying experience
Ya, as long as she is happy I am good.
She will be very much excited to get a new necklace and I am pretty sure it all took a long time to get it with the whole process you all went through it finally achieve her choice.
Yes, it takes a bit of time, around 2-3 hours for everything.
It is so so so amazing. How sophistication the machinery has made the methods. In may country, I haven't seen anything like the melting and scanning machine so far. We have to trust the jeweller and sometimes they deceit badly.
Should I say something about the necklace. The older one looked more beautiful to me 🤓. Lol. But then, it is the choice of the wearer what to wear.
I am sure you would be happy seeing her happy. God bless your family.
Also, @sanjeevm sir, It's long time I didn’t hear anything about your father. How is he? Has the Alzhimer stopped at some stage?
The old one was beautiful, not used often because, it was more of a traditional design that can be used in marriages etc. So she wanted something that she can wear everywhere. And even I did not see anything like this melting and scanning earlier - technology is doing the betterment.
Dad is doing good - he has early dementia, not gone to Alzhimer stage. I often go in the week ends, just that I do not post a lot now.
Yeah! These days matching stuff is more in trend. By having some pearls and beads in the necklace it becomes.
It's good to know that your father isn't in that bad a condition. I wish him good health. Alzhimer is a great pain for the patient and the caretakers. I wish he may never reach to such a state.
Thank you a lot for your kind words.
🙂
Happy wife, happy life!
Hello dear friend @sanjeevm good day
It's great that things finally turned out as expected.
I loved watching the gold melting process
Enjoy it a lot. Have a beautiful day
Wow! Fantastic.. I am so happy for both of you. Having such pieces of jewelry are so rich in our country. It's one way of investing here. You are so blessed indeed.. Stay safe and God bless.
Usually investment in jewellery is a bad choice - instead buy gold biscuits.
That is really amazing. I strongly believe she must have been happy
Very interesting post. Seeing how the gold is melted down and scanned to see how pure it's was cool. This new technology takes all of the guesswork out of the equation.
Your wife sure looked very happy after buying what she had her heart set on.
There's nothing like a good salesperson that is willing to go the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy.
Have a wonderful day my friend.
Technology is definitely changing for improvement - earlier, it was the customer who was at loss, but it was amazing to see the weight remains exactly same as matched by the scanner.
It's always good to feel like you're not getting ripped off.
Nice to know the process. The new gold looks very beautiful.
Congratulations to her for buying the jewellery of her like.
I know how much Indian women’s love and cherries their gold jewellery.
Indian women probably have the largest gold reserve in the world :)
Here that there is a X-ray to scan gold and check have astonished me a lot cause it is my first time.
Thanks for always enlightening me with your post. Glad that I read another today
Ya, the whole exchange process was completely new to us as well.
Jewelry is another name for women's passion and love. It is very happy to receive gold jewelery as a gift or from a husband.
Jewelry buyers are always satisfied. Very beautiful and expensive jewelry. This is a work of art. Jewelry completes a woman, makes her feel special. You are a wonderful husband.
Don't think so...:)
That's great that you can use your old Gold as part of the payment for the new one. Also see how in the store they have all the gold foundry and turn that necklace into a golden cookie
That is really cool that they are able to melt down gold jewelry right there in the store in front of you. I've never seen a machine like that or the process. It really interesting.
It was pretty interesting, and new to me. That is why I went through all the minute details to create this post. At least it saves the customer by doing a very fair evaluation of his old gold.

The Gold necklace is so nice. Now technology has changed the way gold is melted so quickly, just so efficient !
Melted and RIP :)
wow, such a cool place and process! i like how u can see everything being done and he even makes a point to clearly show what he poured it all and is not trying to cheat at all. :)
That's also so cool how your son was very interested in the whole thing. 😉😎🤙
They measured the weight before, did scan and the scanner told, there was no impurity, so ideally after melt, it should come same weight. And it was exactly same with only 0. 0011 milligrams in difference - I was amazed to see the accuracy.
😉👍 yes, very precise.
Wow that jewelry is looking really fancy and beautiful!!
i bet your wife is really happy!
Amazing my dear friend. Finally bhabhi got her choice jwellery. Main thing family members happy so i am happy.
Weakness of every woman :)
I watched the melting process with keen interest. It's so amazing how something so epic can become a small lump in only five minutes. Anyways I know nothing about gold but it seems to me like you can pretty much get value for anything old with this shop right here. Great to see the family shopping once more again.
Yes, I was also surprised with these new techniques being available. Back in old days, they would rob the gold with a stone and calculate 2 carat less than the actual just to make sure they never loose. But its a loss to the customer. Technology is changing things for betterment.
Haha well I guess these days, it's fair trade to the customers because it easy to get value for what you now own.
How nice to read this kind of publications and learn more about other cultures. All the accessories looked beautiful to me so I can't imagine how she felt having to choose from so many beautiful options. I think she went for the right one because they look understated, feminine and elegant. Kudos to you. A hug from Venezuela.
What a fantastic post. I loved how they melted the gold necklace down when you were there!
That was kind and patient of Sasmita, perhaps she got some commission from the sales?
Yes, she definitely must be getting some credit or incentive.
change your gold garments from time to time I see that it is a custom which they have well rooted. Your culture is interesting
