How is the Value of Zari Determined?

The value of an old zari item is primarily influenced by the percentage of silver and gold it contains. Traditionally, Kanchipuram sarees and other old zari items had a higher concentration of these precious metals because they were less expensive to produce in the past.

Kanchipuram sarees traditionally contained a higher proportion of silver and gold, but as the cost of these precious metals increased over time, the proportion of silver and gold in these sarees decreased. Instead, the proportion of copper increased in order to keep the cost of production down. However, many people still value Kanchipuram sarees for their traditional craftsmanship and the quality of the materials used, and they are often willing to pay a premium for sarees that contain a higher percentage of silver and gold.

How is the test conducted?

To determine the value of an old zari item, we take a small sample of the zari and test it for the presence of silver and gold. If the zari contains an adequate amount of these precious metals, we calculate the amount of zari used in the item and offer the customer a fair price based on the quality and quantity of the zari. However, if the zari is found to be imitation, it has no value because it does not contain any silver or gold. In this case, we will not be able to offer a price for the item.

We believe that providing accurate and transparent information to our customers is an important part of our commitment to their satisfaction and trust. Whether you’re looking to sell Old Silk Sarees or Kanchipuram Pure Pattu Sarees, our detailed testing process ensures you receive the best value for your items.

Will my product get damaged during the “Quality Test”?

No, we do not damage the old silk saree or zari item in any way during the quality test. We simply take a small sample of the zari to determine its quality and value. If the customer is not satisfied with the price we offer or if the item fails the quality test, we will return the item to the customer in the same condition it was received. We prioritize the satisfaction of our customers and strive to handle their items with the utmost care and respect.

What is Zari made of?

Zari is a traditional metallic thread used in Indian textiles, especially in silk sarees. It consists of fine strands of metal, typically silver or gold, wrapped around a core thread made of silk or cotton. Kanchipuram sarees often feature zari with a mix of silver, gold, and copper, with older sarees having higher proportions of silver and gold. Despite changes in metal proportions over time, these sarees are still highly valued for their craftsmanship and quality.

How to identify Pure Zari and Tested/Imitation Zari?

One way to determine if a saree is made with pure zari is to touch it. Pure zari has a soft, smooth texture that flows seamlessly with the silk thread of the saree. It also has a beautiful shine that reflects light but is not overly flashy. Pure zari may also appear to change tones under different lights. In contrast, tested zari tends to feel stiffer to the touch and does not flow as smoothly as pure zari.
