The short answer
Padmavati Jewellers is a gold and silver jewellery shop at Aadva, Saraf Bazar, Amalner 425401, open every day from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. It sells gold, silver, bridal jewellery, coins and pooja silver, repairs jewellery in-house, and buys or exchanges old gold. It does not sell diamonds.
Buying gold
Gold is sold on net weight, the karat rate and the making charge. Ask for the net weight after stone weight is removed, and check the stamp on the piece before you pay. A GST invoice adds 3% if you want one. More on gold jewellery in Amalner.
What we sell, and what we do not
Gold in 22K, 24K and 18K, silver jewellery, silver utensils and pooja items, 24K coins, and bridal sets made to order. No diamonds, no imitation jewellery, no watches — we would rather tell you than waste your trip.
Selling and exchanging old gold
Old gold is tested, weighed in front of you, and priced at the day's rate for its purity, less any refining needed. Take cash, or put the value against a new piece. More on selling old gold.
Bridal and custom orders
Bring the design, the wedding date and a budget. We confirm weight, karat, making charge and delivery date with you before starting. Polki and kundan work when available, otherwise ordered. More on bridal jewellery.
Gold rate

All questions
Where is Padmavati Jewellers?
Aadva, Saraf Bazar, Amalner, Maharashtra 425401 — on the old jewellery street in the centre of Amalner. Plus code 23R7+GR Amalner.
What are the timings of the shop?
Every day, Monday to Sunday, from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
Do you sell diamonds?
No. We sell gold and silver jewellery, coins, pooja silver and bridal sets. Diamonds and imitation jewellery are not something we keep.
How do I check the purity of gold before buying?
Ask the karat — 22K (916), 24K (999) or 18K (750) — and look at the stamp on the piece. Karat and net weight are printed on the bill. Where a piece carries a BIS hallmark, its six-digit HUID can be verified free on the BIS Care app.
How is the price of gold jewellery calculated?
Net weight of gold, multiplied by the day's rate for that karat, plus the making charge. A GST invoice adds 3% on top. Net weight is gross weight minus stone and bead weight.
How is the making charge decided?
It depends on the piece — a percentage of the gold value, a flat amount per gram, or a wastage percentage for traditional work. We tell you the figure before you buy.
Do you buy old gold?
Yes. We test and weigh it in front of you and pay the day's rate for its purity, less any refining needed. Cash or exchange against a new piece.
Can I exchange old jewellery for a new piece?
Yes. The value of your old gold is set against the new piece. Exchange usually works out better than a cash sale.
Do you make custom or made-to-order jewellery?
Yes, for gold and bridal sets. Bring a photo or sketch, and we confirm weight, purity, making charge and delivery date before starting.
Do you do bridal sets?
Yes — 22K wedding sets and Maharashtrian traditional pieces such as nath, thushi, gajra and patlya. Come with the family to try, and tell us the date early.
Do you repair jewellery?
Yes, in-house — chain soldering, clasp replacement, ring resizing, re-polishing and stone tightening. The charge is quoted before work starts.
Do you sell silver utensils and pooja items?
Yes — arti plates, diyas, gangajal pots, kalash, spoons and silver coins for pooja, housewarming and wedding return gifts.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, UPI, Google Pay and PhonePe. We do not take cards.
Do you give a GST bill?
Yes, if you ask for one. Tell us when you buy or when you collect. A GST invoice adds 3% and is printed with weight and karat.
Do you deliver outside Amalner?
Customers travel in from across Jalgaon and Dhule districts. For an order from further away, call or WhatsApp first so we can confirm the piece and the date before you travel.
