Redeeming a jewellery gift voucher takes three moves: verify the balance, confirm a design against the concierge team, and settle any difference at the day's gold rate — most delays happen because someone skips the verification step and shows up to shortlist pieces with a voucher nobody has checked. Instead of guessing whether a voucher covers a piece, confirm the reference number first, then message the Auram Jewellery team through the WhatsApp ordering workflow so the balance is locked against the design before you commit to anything in 2026.
- Verify your voucher reference number and issue date before shortlisting any design.
- A jewellery gift voucher fixes the amount, not the gold rate — the balance payable shifts daily.
- PAN details are mandatory on jewellery transactions above ₹2,00,000 in India, voucher or not.
- Auram Jewellery accepts voucher redemption over WhatsApp, video consultation, or in the Kolkata atelier.
- BIS hallmarked gold and IGI-certified diamonds still apply to voucher-funded purchases in 2026.
Why this matters
A gift voucher is not cash — it is a fixed rupee value against a gold price that moves every trading day. Redeem it in a hurry near a wedding date and you may pay more of the balance than expected simply because gold rates rose that week. Redeem it without confirming hallmark and certification details and you risk a mismatch between what the voucher covers and what the piece actually costs once 22KT/916 purity, diamond certification, and making charges are added.
The workflow below removes both risks: confirm the voucher, lock the design and quote, then pay the balance with full visibility on what you're buying.
Before you start
- Have the voucher reference number, the physical card, or the confirmation email/SMS ready — Auram Jewellery's concierge team needs this to check the balance before any design conversation starts.
- Keep a valid photo ID and PAN card on hand. Under Indian tax rules, PAN is mandatory on jewellery purchases above ₹2,00,000, and this applies whether the payment is voucher, cash, or card.
- The gotcha: voucher value is fixed, but gold rates are not. If you wait weeks between checking the voucher and finalizing the order, the balance payable on delivery day can differ from the estimate you got at the first conversation.
Verify your voucher
- Locate the voucher reference number printed on the card or in the digital confirmation.
- Message the concierge team with the reference number and ask for the current balance and issue date.
- Confirm whether the voucher applies to ready pieces only, bespoke commissions, or both — this changes which catalog pages you shortlist from next.
Expected result: you get a written confirmation of the voucher balance and the categories it can be applied against before you spend time browsing designs.
Shortlist a design and get a written quote
- Browse the relevant collection — for bridal sets, diamond pieces, or gold jewellery depending on what the voucher covers.
- Share the shortlisted design (or a reference image) with the concierge team over WhatsApp or a booked video consultation.
- Ask for a written quote that shows the piece price, the voucher deduction, and the remaining balance separately — do not accept a single combined figure.
- Confirm 22KT/916 gold purity and, for diamond pieces, ask for the IGI certificate number tied to the stone before finalizing.
Expected result: a line-item quote showing gross price, voucher applied, and net balance, with hallmark and certification details attached to the specific piece.
Settle the balance and confirm certification
- Pay the remaining balance through whatever mode the concierge team confirms — this is separate from the voucher deduction and calculated at the day's rate.
- Ask for the BIS hallmark details on the invoice for gold pieces and the IGI certificate number for diamond pieces before the order is finalized.
- Confirm delivery or in-atelier collection timing with the team once payment clears.
Expected result: an invoice showing the voucher redemption line, the balance paid, and hallmark/certification references matching the piece you're taking home.
Redeeming for a bespoke commission instead of a ready piece
A voucher does not have to go toward an in-stock design. If you're commissioning a bridal set or a custom piece with Auram Jewellery's karigars, the same voucher balance applies against the final commission quote once the design is locked. The difference is timeline and process, not the redemption mechanics.
| Redemption Route | Best For | What You Need | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp / video consultation | Shoppers who already know the design or need remote sizing | Voucher reference, ID, PAN if over ₹2,00,000 | Works from anywhere in India, no atelier visit required |
| In-atelier redemption (Kolkata) | Brides who want to try bridal sets before confirming | Physical voucher or e-voucher printout, ID proof | Best when you need to see weight and fit in person |
Both routes end at the same point: a written quote, voucher deduction applied, balance confirmed before payment.

Troubleshooting
- Voucher balance doesn't match what you remember being told: ask for the balance in writing again — gold rate movement between conversations can change what a partial voucher covers on a design that isn't purely voucher-funded.
- You lost the physical voucher card: share any reference you still have — an order confirmation, SMS, or email — so the concierge team can trace the voucher before you shortlist a design.
- You're not sure if the voucher covers bespoke commissions: confirm this in the first message. Some vouchers are issued against ready-stock categories only.
- PAN not on hand for a purchase above ₹2,00,000: this is a regulatory requirement, not a store policy, so the transaction cannot proceed without it regardless of voucher value.
- Voucher validity date is unclear: check the date printed on the card or the confirmation email — redemption after that window is not guaranteed.
Customize your workflow
Once the voucher is redeemed, most buyers layer in one more step: confirming purity and certification before the order ships, or setting up EMI for the balance above the voucher value. If the balance is large, check the EMI approval to delivery payment workflow to see how the remaining amount can be structured. If the voucher was a gift and you want the final piece wrapped for handover, the wishlist to gift wrap workflow covers that last step.

FAQ
How do I redeem a jewellery gift voucher at Auram Jewellery?
Share the voucher reference number with the concierge team over WhatsApp or a video consultation, confirm a design, and settle any balance above the voucher value based on the current gold rate. Certification details are confirmed on the same written quote.
Can I redeem a gift voucher online or does it need an in-store visit?
Both work. Remote redemption over WhatsApp or video consultation suits shoppers who know the design, while in-atelier redemption in Kolkata suits brides who want to try bridal sets before confirming.
What happens if the item costs more than the voucher value?
You pay the difference at the gold rate confirmed on the day of purchase. Ask for a quote that separates the piece price, voucher deduction, and remaining balance as three line items.
Is a PAN card required to redeem a jewellery voucher?
Yes, for any jewellery transaction above ₹2,00,000 in India, PAN details are mandatory under tax rules regardless of whether part of the payment is a voucher.
Can a jewellery gift voucher be redeemed for a bespoke commission?
Yes, the voucher value applies against the final quote for a bespoke or custom commission once the design with the karigars is locked. Confirm this coverage with the concierge team before starting the design conversation.
What if I lost my physical voucher card?
Share any reference you still have, such as an order confirmation, SMS, or email, so the team can trace the voucher against your details before you shortlist a piece.
Does a jewellery gift voucher expire?
Validity varies by voucher, so check the date printed on the card or in the confirmation email before starting redemption in 2026, since the workflow above only applies within that window.
Can I redeem part of the voucher and save the rest for later?
That depends on the specific voucher terms. Confirm with the concierge team before shortlisting a design, since not every voucher splits across multiple purchases.
One last thing
The biggest redemption delay isn't paperwork — it's timing. Brides who wait to redeem a voucher right before a wedding muhurat run into the same week gold rates typically spike and design queues run longest, which means the balance payable can jump right when patience is thinnest. Verify the voucher and lock the design weeks earlier, not days, and 2026 wedding-season redemptions go far smoother.
