What is the difference between 22K and 24K gold?
24 karat is 99.9% pure gold. It is soft, so it is used for coins and bars rather than jewellery. 22 karat is 91.6% gold mixed with silver or copper, which makes it hard enough to wear. Most Indian jewellery is 22 karat.
Will my jeweller charge this exact price?
No. The rate here is the metal only. A shop adds making charges, usually 8% to 25% of the metal value, then 3% GST on the total, and sometimes a hallmarking fee. Your final bill will be higher.
How many grams is one sovereign of gold?
A sovereign, called a pavun in Tamil Nadu, is 8 grams of 22 karat gold. At today's rate that is ₹1,16,752.
How often does the gold rate change?
Twice a day, morning and evening. The rate moves with the international gold price, the rupee to dollar exchange rate, and Indian import duty, so it rarely stays the same two days running.
