Great Gifts For The Festive Season

After the government raised the duty on gold to 10%,its made import of stylish ornaments form Hong Kong,Turkey,Italy and Thailand attractive.

If you plan on buying gold this festive season,do think of picking up such pieces.You’re not likely to pay such a large premium for design and foreign origin.And they are likely to add value to your wardrobe.

If the government continues in this line,goldsmiths are likely to go the way of silversmiths in India.This would indeed be a pity. Just comparing today’s artisanal work with that of our mother’s or grandmother’s time shows us the fall in standards due to the decline in the long apprenticeships served by goldsmiths of the yesteryears.
