Selling a socket set in Thrissur
Thrissur is regarded as the cultural capital of the state and is one of the largest gold jewellery trading centres in the country, with the trade concentrated around the central temple round. Its annual temple festival is among the best known in India.
The gold trade means jewellery is bought, exchanged and resold here as a matter of routine rather than as a distress sale. Gulf migration and the festival calendar both concentrate household spending into predictable periods.
The round at the centre of the city is the landmark everyone uses and everything is measured from it. It is congested, so for anything large agree a spot slightly outside rather than on it.
Thrissur, in Kerala, has around 320,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Thrissur
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.
