Due to the rise in gold prices in Kahramanmaraş, citizens planning to get married have turned to imitation sellers in the historic Grand Bazaar.
GOLD PRICES HAVE INCREASED, THOSE GETTING MARRIED HAVE TURNED TO IMITATIONS
Ali Atıcı, who has been selling imitation belts, bracelets, and rings in the market for 30 years, stated that with the increase in gold prices, the interest of those planning weddings in imitation products has grown.
"EVEN THE IMITATION IS 1000 TL"
Atıcı mentioned that there is a significant demand for belts and bracelets at weddings, saying, "As gold prices rise, the interest in imitation increases. Those who cannot afford gold, those getting married, and those who want to sell their gold and replace it are coming here to complete their needs. Our most expensive product here is the belt. The imitation belt is 1000 TL, while the real one is 1 million."
"THEY CONFUSE THE REAL WITH THE IMITATION"
Atıcı stated, "Our most affordable products, the twisted bracelet and the curly bracelet, start from 100 TL. The real one is 60 thousand TL."
