Gold and Diamond ATM Machine

Often times in the jewelry business, you come across that client who, for whatever reason, needs to get their hands on the first sparkly thing that they can find at the last possible second. It's understandable. We all forget holidays and anniversaries. Since birthdays seem to come around every other weekend, you can't blame a person for not being able to keep track of when to go gift hunting.

Well, if your favorite jeweler isn't on speed dial, there may be a solution for you last minute shoppers. 

If you live in India.

As convenient as those Redbox vending machines you find at the grocery store, you can now "buy gold at the touch of a fingertip" with Gitanjali's gold and diamond ATM machine.

All jokes aside, its a pretty clever way to accommodate the need for fast and easy access to luxury items.
