Wedding Jewellery Guide — Manipur Brides in Borobekra
Traditional bridal pieces, regional names, and cultural significance

Likphun
A long pearl-and-gold necklace draped multiple times — the signature Meitei wedding piece.
Kajenglei

Khoiyom
Pearl-strand earrings often paired with small gold flower studs.

A gold-and-pearl pendant worn at the centre of the chest, often featuring Meitei royal motifs.

How to Choose a Trustworthy Jeweller in Borobekra
Three checks before walking into any showroom
Verify BIS Hallmark Licence
Every legitimate jeweller in Borobekra selling gold must hold an active BIS hallmarking licence (BIS-HUID). Confirm before purchase:
- →Ask for the BIS licence number — should match the bill
- →Look for the BIS triangle logo + HUID on every piece
- →Cross-check on the BIS Care app — fake licences will fail validation
Compare Making Charges
Making charges are the biggest hidden variable. Across Manipur, expect 11–17% — a 5% gap on a ₹50,000 piece is ₹2,500. Get quotes from at least 3 jewellers and ask:
- →Is making charge a fixed % or per-gram rate?
- →Different rate for handcrafted vs machine-made?
- →Any wastage charge added on top? (deal-breaker if yes)
- →Are stones billed by weight or per-piece?
Check Buy-Back & Exchange Policy
Most gold purchases will eventually be exchanged or sold back. Borobekra jewellers vary widely on terms — read the fine print before buying:
- →Buy-back rate: today's gold rate, or yesterday's?
- →Wastage deduction on buy-back? (usually 2–8%)
- →Exchange terms — full value of old gold, or partial?
- →Is the policy in writing on your bill or just verbal?
Verbal commitments aren't legally binding — insist on written terms.

Before walking into any showroom in Borobekra, run these three online checks:
- ✓Search for their BIS licence number on the BIS portal
- ✓Look up their GST registration number on the GST portal
- ✓Read Google Maps reviews — focus on the 1- and 2-star ones

After buying gold from a Borobekra jeweller, verify the HUID independently:
- Download BIS Care (free, Play Store / App Store)
- Open the app, tap "Verify HUID"
- Enter the 6-digit code stamped on your jewellery
- Confirm jeweller name + purity + hallmarking date match the bill
Any mismatch = grounds for refund. Report fake hallmarks to BIS at 1800-11-4000 or via the BIS Care app's complaint section.
