Our story
Since 1958, in Kolar.
A family jeweller a short drive from the old Kolar Gold Fields. Renovated, and reopened on M.G. Road, in October 2025.
Gold was here long before the counter.
I · The earth
Old workings, older than anyone remembers.
Gold was dug at Kolar for centuries before modern mining began here in 1880.
II · The ore
More than three kilometres down.
The Champion Reef workings went over 3 km below ground, until the mines closed in 2001.
III · The assay
What 916 means.
Purity is counted in thousandths. Choose a karat.
916
22K: 916 parts gold in every 1,000. The rest is alloy, which gives the piece its strength.
IV · The ornament
Stamped, so you never have to take our word.
Every piece carries a BIS hallmark and a six-character HUID.

The mines closed in 2001. Our counter in Kolar opened in 1958, and is open today.
Two shopfronts, one family.
The same family behind the counter, in two buildings.
Then
The shopfront Kolar remembers.
A wood fascia, our name in Kannada above it, and the BIS mark on the board. This was the counter before the renovation.
2025
Renovated, and reopened.
A new building on M.G. Road. The same family, and the same BIS hallmark on every piece.
Now
Lit up at Ammavarapete Circle.
Open every day, 10 am to 8 pm. Look for the gold lattice and the crown.
