Pearl Gold Testing

Our lab is tucked away in Bhagal, over in Servodaya Nagar near the 1st Panjara Pole. If you’re looking for us, we’re at 4174 B 4 in the Hariom Palace building. It’s a bit of a specific spot to find if you aren't from this part of Mumbai, but once you’re in the neighborhood, just ask for the gold testing place. The office itself is small and filled with various scales and testing equipment that we use to check the purity of jewelry and coins. It’s a very quiet environment because you need a steady hand and a bit of focus for this kind of work. We don't have a big waiting room, just a couple of plastic chairs by the door. Most of our day is spent looking through magnifying glasses or weighing tiny pieces of metal. The Hariom Palace building is an older structure, so it has that classic Mumbai feel with narrow hallways and a lot of activity in every corner. We’ve been here long enough that the local jewellers know us well. It’s not a glamorous job, and the office isn't decorated with anything other than some technical charts and maybe a calendar from last year. We just do the work as it comes in, making sure the numbers are right and the stones are checked. It gets pretty warm in the afternoons, but we just keep the door open to catch whatever breeze comes through the alleyway.
