The value of your item is not affected by its condition. What matters is the amount of Pure Zari present on the item. If the quantity and quality of the Zari on your item is higher (excluding the Silk), then the value increases.

The value of the item you are selling with us is determined by the quality and quantity of Pure Zari used. The selling price range is an approximate value for the item you have selected to sell.

Yes, you can sell anywhere from India. We will send packing materials all over India. However, free pickup is available only for selected locations in south India.

To determine the quality and value of the Zari used in an item, we conduct a test using the tip of the item. We check the percentage of Silver and Gold content in the Zari. If the Zari has an adequate amount of Silver and Gold content, we calculate the amount of Zari used in the item. Based on the quality and quantity of Zari used, we offer a selling price for the item. If the Zari used turns out to be Tested/Imitation Zari, the item has no value as it does not contain any percentage of Silver/Gold content.

No, the "Quality Test" is a non-invasive process that does not damage the product in any way. The test is performed by analyzing a small sample of the zari thread to determine its purity and content of silver and gold. The rest of the product remains untouched during this process.

The value of an old zari item is largely determined by the percentage of silver and gold it contains. Older sarees tend to have a higher percentage of these precious metals because they were cheaper to produce in the past. The table below provides an example of the typical proportions of silver, gold, copper, and silk that are used in pure Kanchipuram silk sarees zari.

ComponentsPercentage
SILVER55 to 57%
SILK22 to 24%
GOLD0.59 to 0.60%
COPPER20 to 22%

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.

The quality test is conducted to determine the purity and authenticity of the Zari used in your item. We take a small sample of the Zari and analyze it to determine the percentage of Silver, Gold, Copper, and Silk content. If the Zari sample is found to be imitation or tested, it will be deemed as failed and the item will not have any value. Your product will not be damaged during the quality test as we only take a small sample. The failed item will be returned to you in the same condition as received.

There are a few reasons. One possibility is that the seller may have misidentified the saree or provided false information. It is also possible that the saree may have been made with a mix of pure Zari and other materials, such as imitation Zari or other metallic threads, which could affect the result of the test. If a saree fails the Quality Test, it means it does not meet the standards for pure Zari and does not have value for selling purposes.

Yes, only upon customer's request we keep the items that failed the quality test. But we return all failed items to customers.

1. Color: Pure Zari is usually in a gold or silver color — easy to identify by its color. 2. Feel: Pure Zari is soft, smooth, and has a beautiful shine that reflects light, but isn't gaudy. It will also change into different tones under different lights. Tested Zari is stiffer to the touch. 3. Quantity and Quality: The percentage of silver and gold content in Zari increases the value of the item. 4. Certification: You can also check for certification from a trusted organization to verify the authenticity of the Zari.

Pure zari is typically made of either gold or silver. Gold zari is made by wrapping a silk thread with silver wire and then electroplating it with pure gold. Silver zari is made in a similar way, but it is electroplated with pure silver instead of gold. The value of a pure zari item is typically determined by the percentage of silver and gold it contains, as well as the amount of zari used in the item.

A Saree is divided into three sections as Border, Body and Stole(Pallu). All three sections come into the picture when a Saree's value is calculated. The selling price is determined based on the quality of the zari used, the quantity of zari used, the weight of the saree, and the overall condition of the saree. OLDZARI.COM provides a free quality test report for all zari items, which includes details on the percentage of silver, gold, copper, and silk content used.

The Quality Test is conducted to determine the amount of Silver and Gold content in your Zari item. If there is a high percentage of Gold and Silver, the item will have a higher value and be rated as a pass. However, if the percentage of Silver and Gold is none, the item will have no value and be rated as a fail in the Quality Test report. It's important to note that Quality Test reports are manually calculated values and may not be 100% accurate.
