However, jewellers had to cope up with lukewarm response from the buyers due to the prohibitive price of gold. The current price of 22-carat gold is Rs 17,500 per 10 grams, while the price of the 24-carat has zoomed to Rs 18,750 in Berhampur town. “The sales have been steady, but not stunning,” said a jewellery shop owner.
