What you can sell

Most people who sell gold with us bring jewellery that is no longer worn: chains with broken clasps, single earrings, rings that no longer fit, designs that have gone out of fashion, or pieces inherited from family. Condition matters far less than you might think — what determines the value is the purity of the gold and its net weight.

If you are unsure whether a particular item can be valued, call +91 90086 78434 and describe it to our team before you visit.

How your gold is valued

The amount offered for your gold is worked out from four things:

  1. Purity. Checked on a gold testing machine. Purity is expressed in karats — 24K is about 99.9% gold, 22K about 91.6% and 18K about 75%.
  2. Net gold weight. Only the gold itself counts. Stones, beads, wax fillings, enamel and other non-gold parts are excluded.
  3. The prevailing gold rate on the day of the transaction.
  4. Applicable deductions, which our team explains before you decide.

Because of these factors, the per-gram rate you see published anywhere — including on this website — is a starting point, not the final figure for a specific piece. Read more about how gold rates and purity work.

Why the testing method matters

When choosing where to sell, ask how purity will be checked. Crude methods such as rubbing gold on a touchstone can damage the piece and are less precise. We check purity using a gold testing machine, and you are welcome to ask our team to explain the process and the result.

What to bring

You must be over 18 and the owner of the gold. Bring the original purchase invoice if you have it. If not, bring any two documents that together show your photo ID and current residential address — for example your Aadhaar card with a PAN card, passport, driving licence or voter ID. See the full list of accepted documents.

What happens at the branch

  1. Our team completes KYC using your documents.
  2. Your gold is weighed and its purity is checked on the testing machine.
  3. The valuation is explained: purity, net weight, the rate and any deductions.
  4. You decide. If you accept, payment is made — bank transfer is available.

There is no obligation to sell once your gold has been valued. For the step-by-step detail, see how it works.

Selling gold that is pledged?

If your gold is currently pledged with a bank, pawnbroker or NBFC, it can still be released and sold. See release pledged gold for how that works.

FAQ

Common questions

How is my gold valuation calculated?

Valuation depends on the purity of your gold, its net gold weight (after excluding stones, wax or other non-gold parts), the prevailing gold rate on the day, and any applicable deductions. Our team checks the purity using a gold testing machine and explains how the figure was reached before you decide anything.

Does the condition of my gold matter?

Broken, old or unused gold can still be valued — what matters most is the purity and the net weight of the gold itself. Stones, enamel or other non-gold parts are not counted as gold. If you are unsure about a specific item, call or WhatsApp us before visiting.

How is the purity of my gold checked?

Purity is checked using a gold testing machine rather than crude methods such as rubbing the gold on a stone. You are welcome to ask our team to explain the testing process and the result.

What documents should I bring?

You must be over 18 and the owner of the gold. Bring the original purchase invoice if you have it. If you do not have the invoice, bring any two documents that together show your photo ID and current residential address — for example Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, driving licence, voter ID, ration card, bank passbook or statement, electricity or telephone bill, or property documents. KYC is verified with these documents.

Do I have to sell once my gold is valued?

No. The valuation is explained to you first, and you decide whether to proceed.

How will I receive payment?

Payment is made after you accept the offer and your KYC is complete. Bank transfer is available; please ask our team about the payment options that suit you before you visit.
