The book at the counter, now on the site.

The stone I was shown matched the report

I came for a yellow sapphire after two shops in the city showed me citrine. Here they put both stones on the table and explained the difference without making me feel foolish. The Pukhraj I took has a laboratory note, and it still looks the same in my kitchen light.

Quiet shop, serious cabinet

Good atmosphere and a real variety — gold, silver, and the Navratna tray. They did not rush the sale. I bought a coral and a small Ganesha. Both were packed as if they were going a long way.

They keep 1 gram gold for offerings

Needed a one-gram gold piece for a vow. Many places send you away. Sadhguru Gems had it, billed it cleanly, and the weight was exact on their scale in front of me.

Copper bottle that is actually copper

I have been sold coated steel before. This bottle is heavy, the seam is honest, and they told me how to clean it. Water tastes as it should after a night in the metal.

Came from Pune for a Neelam trial

I was nervous about blue sapphire. They let me trial a small stone before committing to a ring. No drama, no fear-selling. When I returned, the same person remembered the conversation.

Fair on gold making charges

Making charges were explained before the piece went to the bench. The kundan work on my wife’s bangles is tight. I would have liked a slightly faster turnaround during Diwali week — that is the only mark down.

They named the treatment on my emerald

The emerald has oil, and they wrote that on the bill. I have never had a jeweller volunteer that. The colour is a real green, not a window of glass.

Brass lamps that ring when you tap them

Bought two deepams and a bell for the wada. The brass is temple-grade, not the thin festival-market kind. They heat evenly and the bell has a long note.
