Understanding Silver Purity
Purity tells you how much of a piece is pure silver — shown as a fineness number out of 1000.
Silver 999 (999 fineness)
999 ("fine silver") is about 99.9% pure. It's very soft, so it's mostly used for coins, bars and investment-grade silver rather than everyday jewellery.
Silver 925 (925 fineness)
925 ("sterling silver") is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals for strength — the purity most commonly used for silver jewellery and articles.
What Makes Up the Final Silver Jewellery Price?
The silver rate is only one part of what you pay at a jewellery shop.
- 1
Silver value
Applicable silver rate × weight (in grams).
- 2
Making charges
The jeweller's charge for craftsmanship — usually a flat amount or a percentage of the silver 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 silver 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 Silver Rate Is Used to Calculate Jewellery Price
Here's a simplified, hypothetical example using today's reference rate — not an actual price quote.
100 grams of 925 silver at today's reference rate of ₹236.11/gram works out to ₹23,611.00 for the silver 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 silver value.
