Wedding Jewellery Guide — Punjab Brides in Maur
Traditional bridal pieces, regional names, and cultural significance
A Punjabi bride is unmistakable for the red-and-white Chuda bangles she wears for a year after marriage, and the Kalira pendants gifted by her sisters. The bridal set includes layered Rani Haars and the heavy Maatha Patti spanning the forehead.
Chuda
A set of 21 red-and-ivory bangles gifted by the maternal uncle (mama) at the Chuda ceremony. Worn for at least 40 days, traditionally for a full year after marriage.
Kalira
Umbrella-shaped gold pendants tied to the Chuda by sisters and friends. Tradition says if a Kalira falls on an unmarried girl, she'll marry next.
Rani Haar
A long, layered gold necklace (literally "queen's necklace") with multiple strands and a central pendant.
Maatha Patti
A forehead piece with a central pendant and side chains spanning across the parting and into the hair.
Tikka
A simpler central forehead pendant — often worn instead of the more elaborate Maatha Patti for daytime ceremonies.
Nath
A nose ring smaller than its Maharashtrian or Banarasi counterparts, usually with a single drop pearl.
How to Choose a Trustworthy Jeweller in Maur
Three checks before walking into any showroom
Verify BIS Hallmark Licence
Every legitimate jeweller in Maur 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 Punjab, expect 9–15% — 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. Maur 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.
