Silver

Silver is what most of Malur walks in for. Anklets and toe rings for a new bride, a lamp or a kumkuma holder for the pooja shelf, a small chain for a child’s naming day.

Every piece is weighed in front of you, on the counter scale, before anything is said about price. The weight is the number that matters in silver — ask for it, and ask what the finish is.

What to ask at the counter

• The weight, on the scale, before the rate
• Whether a piece is made in the workshop or bought in
• What the finish is, and how it will look after a year of wear
• Whether a bigger or smaller size of the same design can be made

Pieces with photographs are in the catalogue. What is in the shop is always more than what is photographed — if you have seen something elsewhere, bring the picture in and ask.
