Jewellery Estimate – Comparison Mode
Create multiple calculation patterns (gross to net weight logic, polish, labour, discounts) and compare them side by side.
Metal & Weights
Formula: Gold Wt = Gross Wt − (Total Stone Wt + Total Diamond Wt).
Effective Net Wt (Gold) = 0.000 gm | Effective Gross Wt = 0.000 gm
Gold / Silver Rate
Rate per gm: Rs.0.00
City Jeweller calculation
Uses fixed standard rules: metal rate fixed, standard labour % on gold, no polish, no discounts, and no misc charges. Uncheck this to customise the calculation.
Labour

Labour (before discount): Rs.0.00
Labour Discount: Rs.0.00 | Net Labour: Rs.0.00
Misc Charges & Discounts
Enable “Add Misc” to add extra charges/discounts.

Understanding Jewellery Pricing in India
Jewellery pricing in India is based on the prevailing gold market rate (quoted per 10 grams on MCX / IBJA), adjusted for metal purity, plus separate charges for craftsmanship and embedded stones.
Gold Purity & Pricing
22kt gold (91.6% pure) is the most common for traditional Indian jewellery. 18kt gold (75% pure) is popular for lightweight and diamond jewellery. 24kt gold (99.9% pure) is used for coins and bars but rarely for ornaments. The gold weight in a piece is calculated as: Gross Weight − Stone Weight = Net Gold Weight.
Making / Labour Charges
Making charges vary widely between jewellers — from 6% to over 25% of gold value, depending on design intricacy, brand premium, and local market practices. Comparing making charges for the same piece across multiple jewellers is one of the biggest savings opportunities for jewellery buyers in India.
Stone Valuation
Diamond weight is quoted in carats (1 ct = 0.2 gm). Coloured gemstones like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are often quoted in rattis in India (1 rt ≈ 0.12 gm). Prices range from a few hundred rupees per carat for semi-precious stones to lakhs per carat for premium diamonds.
GST on Jewellery
The Goods and Services Tax on gold jewellery in India is 3% on the total invoice value (metal + making charges + stone value). Always verify whether a jeweller's quoted price is exclusive or inclusive of GST before comparing.
