Understanding Gold Purity
Purity tells you how much of a piece of jewellery is pure gold — shown as karats or a fineness fraction.
24K Gold (999 fineness)
24K is close to pure gold. It's soft, so it's rarely used for everyday jewellery, but common for coins and bars.
22K Gold (916 fineness)
22K is the most common purity for gold jewellery in India — about 91.6% pure gold, alloyed with other metals for strength.
18K Gold (750 fineness)
18K gold is 75% pure gold. It is more durable and often used in jewellery set with stones or diamonds.
14K Gold (585 fineness)
14K gold is about 58.5% pure gold — more affordable and durable, though less common in Indian jewellery.
What Makes Up the Final Jewellery Price?
The gold rate is only one part of what you pay at a jewellery shop.
- 1
Gold value
Gold rate × weight (in grams) × purity.
- 2
Making charges
The jeweller's charge for craftsmanship — usually a flat amount or a percentage of the gold value.
- 3
Wastage, where applicable
An extra charge some jewellers add to cover metal lost while crafting the piece.
- 4
GST / taxes, where applicable
Goods and Services Tax applied on top of the gold value and making charges.
These components vary by jeweller, design and state — there's no single fixed formula, so always ask for an itemised bill.
How Gold Rate Is Used to Calculate Jewellery Price
Here's a simplified, hypothetical example using today's reference rate — not an actual price quote.
10 grams of 22K gold at today's reference rate of ₹13,752.84/gram works out to ₹1,37,528.40 for the gold alone — before making charges, wastage or GST are added.
An actual jewellery bill would add making charges and any applicable taxes on top of this gold value.
