The Acid Test
We draw a single thread from the edge of the pallu or fall and touch it with a drop of testing acid. Real silver zari holds its colour; copper-based imitation zari reacts within seconds. The body of your saree is never touched.

How We Identify Pure Zari
After more than 30 years of buying old zari sarees, this is how we tell real silver zari from imitation before we price yours.
The Touchstone
Rubbed on a black touchstone, zari leaves a fine metallic streak. Its colour, and how it reacts to the testing acid, shows how much silver the thread holds and how rich its gold gilding is. Jewellers have tested gold this way for generations.
Weight, Sheen and Age
Real zari is heavy for its size, has a soft, deep sheen and darkens gently with age instead of flaking. After testing more than 20,000 sarees, our testers spot imitation zari quickly, but we still test every saree before we price it.
Tested in Front of You
Every test happens where you can see it, and we tell you the result before we make an offer. These sarees carry weddings, festivals and family blessings, so each one is handled with care and priced fairly.
