of pure 916 (22 carats) ornaments
and attractive diamond ornaments,
the showroom has a special section
for leading international brands of
premium watches. Atlas, as always,
has several promotional events for
its customers. In order to protect
the customers from the rising gold
price, Atlas has formulated two gold
saving schemes – Atlas Easy Pay-
ment Scheme and Atlas Gold Savings
Scheme. The Easy Payment Scheme
enables customers to select and buy
ornaments in advance and pay money
in easy installments. Once the money
is fully paid, customers can own the
ornaments. Gold Savings Scheme
aids customers to pay money and get
credited as gold. By this scheme, price
hikes would not affect the customers.
Purchasing convenience of custom-
ers is stressed upon in floor planning.
Spacious parking facility is provided in
the basement floor of the showroom.
The integrity embedded in the organi-
zation has helped Atlas to become the
world’s premium jeweler. Low prices
of products, providing value addition,
maintaining strong work ethic and dis-
cipline, ensuring quality of products
– these distinctive characteristics of
Atlas make more and more custom-
ers purchase their products at Atlas
Jewellery.
