A silk saree with more Zari (Jari) usually yields the best selling price and is considered as Pure Silk Saree. Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree and Pure Banarasi Saree can get you more value while selling.

Kanchipuram Silk Saree (Kanchipuram pattu saree):

Kanchipuram silk sarees, also known as kanjivaram silk sarees, usually get you the best selling price. All Kanchipuram silk sarees are woven from pure mulberry silk. Kanchipuram silk sarees vastly differ from Banarasi sarees, Kanchipuram sarees are woven in a very unique manner. Silk does not really add any values to the saree when you are selling. A pure zari is all that matters.

Not every Silk Saree retailer tells you the differences between pure zari and duplicate zari silk saree. Let’s take an example here, a grand Kanchipuram Silk Saree with pure zari which costs between ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 can be made with ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 using duplicate Zari. That’s how big the difference can be.

A customer can easily get confused between tested/duplicate zari and pure zari. Not all Sarees you buy from Kanchipuram are Kanchipuram Sarees, a typical Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree can cost from ₹10,000.

There are so many types of Kanchipuram Silk Sarees, most commonly manufactured Zari Silk Sarees (Pattu sarees) are Kanchipuram Brocade Saree, Kanchipuram Jacquard Saree, Kanchipuram Vaira Oosi Saree, Kanchipuram Tissue Silk Saree, Kanchipuram Full Gold Saree and the list goes on.

There are so many ways to identify pure Zari in Silk Sarees, one of the ways is to feel the saree. Pure Zari melts with the thread of the saree to create one beautiful, cohesive stretch of silk. Pure zari is soft, smooth, and has a beautiful shine that reflects light, but isn’t gaudy. Pure zari will also change into different tones under different lights. Try moving it around under the lights. Tested/duplicate Zari is stiffer to touch and won’t bend and flow like pure zari.

This information can be useful for customers who want to buy Pure Zari Silk Saree in the future as well.

Banarasi Saree:

A pure Banarasi Saree can have more selling price, if it was woven using Pure Zari. Older Banarsi Sarees have higher percent of silver content and thus yields more value. Banarsi Sarees are among the finest saris in India and are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery.

Following Sarees have good selling price based on Zari value and are usually made using Pure Zari are Kanchipuram Silk Saree, Pure Mysore Silk Saree, Pure Arni Saree, and Banarasi Saree.

Following Sarees are usually not made using Pure Zari and have no value are Chiffon Saree, Soft Silk Saree, Cotton Saree, Organza Saree, Silk Cotton Saree, Georgette Saree and so on.
