How jewellery shops buy from a gold wholesaler in Mumbai
A step-by-step guide for retailers: hallmarking, MOQ, making charges, payment terms and shipping from Mumbai.
Why retailers source from Mumbai
Mumbai is one of India's largest gold manufacturing hubs. Buying directly from a manufacturer-wholesaler gives a jewellery shop wider design choice, fresher stock and lower making charges than buying through multiple middlemen.
Step 1 — choose categories and weights
Start with what turns over fastest at your counter: light chains, daily-wear bangles, earrings and mangalsutras. Add bridal, temple and kasu mala designs for wedding season. Ask for weight bands so you can stock pieces at several price points.
Step 2 — check hallmarking and quality
Every piece should carry the BIS 916 or 750 hallmark with a HUID code. Check finish, solder joints, clasp strength and weight tolerance on a sample before placing a larger order.
Step 3 — agree making, terms and delivery
Agree the making or wastage percentage per category, whether the order is settled in cash or gold-for-gold, and the delivery timeline. Insured shipping is standard for orders sent outside Mumbai.
