Gold and Silver Jewels in KSA

Post new topic

How much does a jeweler charge for the labor work on gold jewels? Same goes to silver. I buy gold and silver jewels but I am not quite sure whether I'm paying the right price or if I am being goofed.

I would appreciate any of your insights. Thank you!

It depends on what work you have done. I find the best  who do a terrific job and charge a very good price are the Pakistani jewellers. I have had a lot of valuable jewellery remodelled, cleaned and fixed. Service has been incredible at a low cost. I have been so impressed that I usually hand over an excellent tip.

Good luck.

Is there in figure?

gonzrule

All costs are different, depending on what you are having done.

gonzrule

Ok. But is there any formula they use to determine the total cost? Like in general? :-)

Most gold or silver makers will tell if you if you ask them what is the price in detail - the price of the metal and price of the design or the work that is done. Some dont, in those cases you can weigh the ornament and then calculate the price of metal as per the days rates and the rest would be the making / design charges.

From Riyadh Gallery car park on Olaya Street, turn right. Go down two blocks to souq on right. Turn right into car park. The jewelry souq  is next to the car park. Here. some Pakistani jewelers work on mobile stands outside the shops. They are very honest, do a great job and excellent price. Don't forget to give them a good tip!!!
