12. Definitions:
Wastage/Polish
Wastage charges in gold jewellery are extra fees added to the price, theoretically covering the small amount of gold lost during cutting, filing, melting, and polishing. Typically ranging from 15% to 20% (often higher for complex, handcrafted, or studded pieces), it is calculated as a percentage of the gold’s weight
Purpose: Covers non-recoverable metal lost during the manufacturing process.
Variation: Simple machine-made jewellery has lower wastage (10%–15%), while intricate, handcrafted, or stone-studded designs can incur higher charges, sometimes over 20%.
Will it be returned?
No’ as it is non recoverable, so customer has to pay for it. At time of return/resale only weight on scale will be counted (sarafa association of Abbottabad/Pakistan)
While at time of buy customer has to pay for weight on scale + wastage/polish ( lost gold and production cost) + making charges( jewellers service charges)
