As the world currently suffers through a pandemic, life as we know it has turned away from normalcy. From casual trips to the mall, fun hangouts with friends at the bar, and lavish weddings to attend – nothing is possible anymore, and thus everything seems bland.

Yet, we understand time cannot halt. Work cannot come to a standstill. Life must go on. Though differently today, taking all precautions against COVID-19, we must resume to a life of adaptive normalcy.

Regardless of circumstances, the errands remain to be run. As Eid ul Azha draws near, the Muslim community still needs to conjure a mood of festivity, put on their best set of clothes, wear their favourite jewellery – and enjoy the time, while taking all precautionary measures.

For those who had their weddings scheduled in these months, the scale of the event may have been minimized to simple a few people of the household. Yet, it still remains the most special day for the life of the bride and groom. The bride still desires to be laden in gold and wear stunning bridal couture.

Life has to continue.

At C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers, we understand the situation.

All of these are special moments in life, and certainly need to be enjoyed – even through such difficult times.

Therefore, C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers makes it easy and less risky to go jewellery shopping by opting for elaborate and state-of-the-art protective measures.

Arriving at C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers

The Valet

• As you arrive at any of our buildings, you shall be greeted by a valet. If you want to opt for the valet parking facility, step out of the car and make your way to the entrance of the store.
• The parking ticket shall be issued in a socially distanced manner. Either you can tear it yourself from the machine, or an individual wearing gloves shall hand it to you.
• Before the valet sits on the driving seat, the car will be sanitized by an individual wearing the PPE suit. The steering wheel and other areas of contact will be sanitized, and a white paper cloth placed on the driving sear to prevent any germs from transmitting from the valet to the seat, and vice versa.
• The paper cloth will be removed before handing over the car to the client – rendering it a safe and hygienic valet experience.

Going In

• All clients will be greeted by a Namaste from an employee at the entrance door. There shall be no handshakes as per the mandatory social distancing.
• The body temperature shall be checked with a thermal gun. In case of fever, isolation will be recommended and the entrant disallowed entry.
• A 70% alcohol content, considered safe as a precaution against COVID-19, will be poured in the hands of the entering client. They will be required to sanitize their palms and hands up to the elbows.

There are various counters and floors in the buildings of C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers. Following all safety protocols, you shall be allowed to make your way to the counter/jewellery section you wish to gain a closer look at.

Purchasing the jewellery, making a card transaction has also been facilitated in these circumstances. You shall be asked to insert the card and type in the code in the machine. The card machine shall be sanitized later. Soft copies of the invoices shall be issued on email – making the transaction nearly paperless, and thus limiting the chances of virus contraction.
