  "account": "Gold jewellery making charges can significantly impact the overall cost of a piece. These charges vary between jewellers and depend on the design, craftsmanship and production process. Some jewellers charge a fixed amount, while others charge a percentage of the gold value. Complex designs and intricate crafting generally result in higher making charges. While lower making charge percentages may appear attractive, it is essential to consider the overall price, including gold value, making charges and other costs. During festive seasons, retailers often offer zero or discounted making charges, but these promotions should be evaluated against the final price and other associated costs. Always check the buyback and exchange terms before purchasing.",
