Quick Price Calculator (for Jewellery Buyers)
Use this to estimate a fair ballpark before you negotiate:
Step 1 — Get 24K per-gram:
Per-gram (24K) ≈ Rs 356,033 ÷ 10 = Rs 35,603
Step 2 — Adjust for purity:
-
22K factor = 0.916
-
21K factor = 0.875
-
18K factor = 0.750
Example: 7-gram ring in 22K
35,603 × 0.916 × 7 ≈ Rs 228,000 (add making/wastage/brand charges)
Tip: Always ask the shop to show the live board rate, then apply purity and making charges separately on the invoice.
City Buying Checklist (Save Money, Avoid Surprises)
-
Compare 2–3 shops within the same hour (rates move).
-
Request a split bill: weight, karat, base gold value, making, wastage, and any brand premium.
-
Check digital scale reading and look for hallmark/purity stamp.
-
For coins/bars, ask about buyback policy and any spread.
Should you buy at record highs?
-
For weddings or gifts: Consider staggered buys (e.g., 50% now, 50% on dips).
-
For investors: If you’re long-term, focus on allocation and rupee-cost averaging rather than catching the exact low.
-
For traders: Momentum is strong; use stop-losses—volatility cuts both ways.
Silver Watch
Silver ticked higher alongside gold. It remains popular for lower ticket-size saving and for jewellers seeking lighter designs at accessible budgets. Check your city board for per-10g and per-tola prints before purchasing.
Fast FAQ
Why does my city’s quote differ from the “headline” rate?
Transport, liquidity, and local premiums vary. Karachi wholesale often sets the tone; other cities price around it.
What affects gold next?
Central-bank signals, inflation prints, FX swings, and geopolitical news. Any fresh “risk-off” pulse can keep prices elevated.
Is 21K or 22K better for jewellery?
22K is common for traditional pieces; 21K and 18K offer more durability for intricate or gemstone settings.
