Sell Gold Jewellery for Cash: Transparent Valuation for Necklaces, Rings, Chains & Ornaments

Almost any gold jewellery – old or new, hallmarked or unhallmarked, intact or broken – qualifies for valuation. The most commonly sold categories include:

Sell Gold Chain and Necklaces

When you sell gold chain pieces, both solid and hollow chains are accepted. Solid chains carry their full weight in gold, so they fetch a higher absolute payout for the same length. Hollow chains weigh less and pay accordingly – they’re still valued at the same per-gram rate based on actual gold weight. To sell gold chain or sell gold necklace pieces, layered or broken, the same formula applies. Mangalsutras and traditional designs are also welcome; non-gold clasps or threads are weighed separately and excluded from the gold weight.

Sell Gold Ring (Including Wedding Rings and Stone-Set Rings)

Plain bands, engagement rings, wedding rings, and stone-set rings are all valued. To sell gold ring pieces with stones, the stones are carefully removed and returned to you. The gold weight is calculated only on the metal that remains. Whether you want to sell gold ring items from a previous marriage, a single inherited ring, or a full set, each is valued individually at today’s live rate.

Sell Gold Bangle and Bracelet

When you sell gold bangle pieces, both solid bangles (kadas, traditional designs) and hollow bangles are accepted. To sell gold bracelet items, the same valuation rules apply – actual gold weight × purity × live rate. For jewellery with kundan, meenakari, polki, or enamel work, the non-gold portion is excluded from the weight; only the gold itself is paid for. Pairs are valued together; single pieces or mismatched items are equally welcome.

Sell Gold Earrings (Studs, Jhumkas, Hoops)

To sell gold earrings – including studs, jhumkas, hoops, drops, and ear cuffs – pairs are weighed together. A single earring (the classic “lost the other one” scenario) is also accepted and valued at its full gold content. Stones are removed and returned to you before the gold is weighed.

The single biggest concern when people sell gold jewellery is the fear of hidden cuts. Here’s exactly what is deducted, and what is not:

• Stones and non-gold components – weighed separately and returned to you. Not deducted in any other way; simply not counted as gold.
• Soldering weight – every piece has small amounts of solder used to join links or set stones. Typically 1–3% of total weight.
• Wastage – minor handling and processing wastage, again typically within 1–3%. Combined with soldering, total deductions rarely exceed 3% for standard jewellery.

What is NOT deducted: making charges from your original purchase. These were paid to the manufacturer when you bought the jewellery and are not subtracted again at sale. You are paid for the actual gold content, full stop.

To complete the transaction, please carry:

• PAN card – required for any single sale of ₹2 lakh and above.
• Aadhaar card – for KYC verification and address proof.
• Original purchase bill (optional) – if you have it, bring it; if not, the rate is unaffected.
