The gross weight shown on a scale may not be the same as the eligible gold weight. A clear valuation explains every adjustment.
Stones and Non-Gold Parts
Jewellery may include stones, enamel, thread, springs, clasps or other components. Their weight may be excluded from the gold calculation.
Purity Difference
The applicable rate depends on verified purity. An item expected to be 22K may test differently because of repairs or mixed materials.
Ask for the Exact Breakdown
Request the gross weight, excluded weight, net weight, purity, rate and final amount. Avoid unexplained lump-sum deductions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are making charges returned during resale?
Making charges paid at purchase are generally separate from the underlying gold-content value.
Why is stone weight deducted?
Stones are not gold and normally cannot be paid at the gold buying rate.
Can I see the deduction calculation?
A transparent evaluation should explain how each deduction affects net weight or value.
