Three generations. One standard.
A family jewellery house in Sarafa Market, Mandi Bahauddin — founded by Haji Ashraf Siddiqui.
The House
How the shop was built
The first generation
A counter in Sarafa Market
Haji Ashraf Siddiqui opened the shop with a scale, a set of files and a rule he repeated to every customer: the weight on the bill is the weight in your hand. Trade in Sarafa Market ran on reputation, and reputation ran on the scale being honest.
The second generation
The workshop behind the shop
His sons learned the bench before they learned the counter — annealing, drawing wire, setting stones, finishing by hand. Bringing the making in-house meant the family could stand behind the purity of a piece because they had made it themselves.
Today
The same scale, a wider counter
The third generation runs the shop and the workshop together. Families order from across Pakistan and from abroad, over WhatsApp and video call, with insured delivery at the end. What has not changed is that every piece is hallmarked, weighed in front of the customer, and carries a lifetime buy-back.
The Workshop
Made by hand, a few pieces at a time
Work starts with the metal being weighed and alloyed to the karat the customer has asked for. From there it is drawn, formed, soldered and filed at the bench — the slow part, and the part that decides whether a piece still looks right in twenty years.
Stones are set last, by hand, under a loupe. Every piece is polished, checked for sharp edges and weak clasps, then hallmarked before it goes into the tray.
Bridal work is made to order and takes six to ten weeks. We send photographs through the making so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Certification & Hallmarking
What we stand behind
Four things a customer can hold us to, on every piece, every time.
Hallmarked purity
Gold is stamped 21K or 22K, and 18K for diamond settings. Silver is stamped 925. The stamp is on the piece, not just the bill.
Weighed in front of you
Every piece goes on a calibrated scale at the counter before it is billed. Gross weight, net metal weight and stone weight are all written down.
Priced against the day's rate
Gold value, making charges and stone value are quoted separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for the metal and what you are paying for the work.
Lifetime buy-back
Bring a piece back with its bill at any time and we buy it back against the gold rate on the day you return, not the day you bought.
Come and see the work
The full range is on the tray at the counter, and the scale is on the table. We are open every day, 11:00am to 8:00pm.
