When it comes to the Jewellery World, everything is gold. Its timeless beauty and great value have made it a symbol of luxury and elegance for centuries. Recently IIG had the pleasure of visiting a gold company called Golden Carat, where we got a close look at the process of creating beautiful necklaces and earrings. Come with us as we take you into this fascinating world.
Golden Carat Private Limited stands as an illustrious jewellery crafting facility, renowned for its unwavering commitment to crafting exquisite pieces of the highest quality. Mr. Mahesh Bhatiya is the Director of the Golden Carat Private Limited and he vouches that within the walls of this state-of-the-art facility, the fusion of meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering passion for excellence transforms precious metals and diamonds into timeless masterpieces.

Beyond the aesthetic brilliance, Golden Carat upholds the highest standards of responsibility and integrity, with a resolute dedication to ethical and sustainable practices, making each of their jewellery pieces not just stunning, but also a symbol of their commitment to a brighter, more responsible future in the jewellery industry.
The Golden Carat Experience
At Golden Carat, a team of skilled artisans collaborates seamlessly with advanced technology to create jewellery that encapsulates the essence of elegance and luxury. Each piece that emerges from Golden Carat’s workshop reflects the rich heritage of craftsmanship and innovation that defines SRK’s legacy in the diamond and jewellery industry.
During our visit, the Golden Carat team graciously guided us through each department, unveiling the intricate processes of designing, CAD design, wax modelling, casting, polishing, finishing, rhodium plating, packaging, and more. The factory’s design and execution exude the sophistication and precision reminiscent of a seven-star office. What’s equally commendable is their steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility, exemplified by proper chemical disposal and wastewater management, reflecting their dedication to sustainability.
From the moment I entered the Golden carat studio, I was immediately struck by the passion for craftsmanship and the attention to detail. The place is brimming with artisans who meticulously transform raw materials into stunning jewellery creations. The ambiance is a fusion of tradition and modernity, where traditional appliances are combined with cutting-edge machinery.
Design and inspiration
Every piece of jewellery begins with a spark of inspiration. At Golden Carat a team of talented designers work tirelessly to create unique and timeless designs. They turn their ideas into beautiful paintings, inspired by many sources such as nature, art and culture. These designs are for creating jewellery.
Material Selection
One of the most important aspects of creating good jewelry is choosing the right materials. Golden carat uses only the finest materials, including 24-carat gold, known for its purity and rich, bright color. Gold comes from the responsibility to ensure moral and ethical behavior.
Casting and Forming
When the mold is finished, the process of bringing it to life begins. This includes making molds that are used to mold the gold into the desired shape. Molten gold is poured into a mold, allowed to cool, and solidified to form the shape of the jewellery. This step should be done to make sure every detail of the design is captured.
Gem Setting
Many of Golden carat’s Jewellery creations feature exquisite gemstones, from diamonds to sapphires and emeralds. Setting these gemstones is a delicate and meticulous process. Experts carefully placed each stone, enhancing the overall beauty of the piece. Alignment and placement of gemstones is important to achieve perfection.
Polishing and Finishing
Polishing is an important step in achieving the distinctive shine and brilliance of gold jewelry. These products go through the polishing process, where they are carefully sanded and polished to perfection. This process not only enhances the beauty of the jewelry, but also makes it last longer.
Quality Control
Quality control is the most important thing at Golden Carat. Each piece of jewelry is strictly inspected to ensure it meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality. This attention to detail ensures that customers get the best.
Artists at Work
One of the most interesting things about my visit to King carat was watching the artisans at work. These artisans have years of experience and are passionate about their craft. His hands move with precision and care, transforming raw materials into works of art. It’s inspiring to see their dedication to preserving the art of jewelry making.
Minimizing of Wastage
The particles of gold are lost to the air whenever it is processed or in the proper production procedure. It was fascinating to observe how each and every person at Golden Carat was required to wear a specific uniform, and at the conclusion of each workday, the employees’ garments were gathered and taken to the waste control department, where the gold that had adhered to them was retrieved. All were required to wear special clothing and hair caps even when the IIG team visited the company in order to retrieve the gold that had accumulated on the clothing.
Final Result
After witnessing the various stages of jewellery making, the team of IIG was glad to see the finished product. The necklaces and earrings on sale to the Golden carat’s clients are truly breathtaking. Each piece is a testament to the art and skill of jewellery making.
Conclusion
IIG’s visit to the Golden Carat was an eye-opening experience and gave us an appreciation for the art of gold jewellery. A world where tradition and innovation coexist, and raw materials turn into symbols of beauty and beauty. The passion and craftsmanship of the Golden Carat artisans is evident in every piece they create; which makes it a place for those seeking timeless and elegant jewellery.
Highly recommended if you have the opportunity to visit a company that produces jewelry such as the Golden carat. This journey will not only give you a deeper understanding of the jewellery making process, but will also allow you to marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship involved in the creation of this beautiful item. Golden carat is much more than a jewellery maker; is a jewellery manufacturer. This is a testament to the durability of gold and the art of transforming it into something extraordinary.
