The gold nath – the large traditional nose ring worn by Indian women – is one of the most culturally significant gold pieces in a family’s collection. Unlike the small nose pin or stud, a nath is a full ring or half-ring, often elaborate with pearl drops, meenakari work or stone setting. Weights range from a simple 2g bail ring to a heavy 12g bridal nath.
When it comes to resale, only the gold weight and purity matter. This guide covers typical weight ranges for gold naths by design, today’s live IBJA rate and exactly how much cash you receive at an Attica Gold branch.

Resale Value & Worked Example
The resale formula is: Net Gold Weight (g) × Purity (%) × Today’s 24K IBJA Rate. For a 6g 22K nath: 6 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹83,814.
For a bridal nath weighing 10g total with 2g of stone and pearl weight: net gold = 8g; payout = 8 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹1,11,752. All removed stones and pearls are returned to you.
Tax Treatment When You Sell
Gold held over 24 months attracts 12.5% LTCG when sold; held under 24 months, your gain is added to slab income. Aadhaar is mandatory; PAN is required if your sale exceeds ₹2,00,000.
What to Watch For – Seller Protection
● Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing
● Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing
● No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement
● Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
● Lump-sum quote without per-gram rate – always ask for the gram rate first

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a gold nath worth today?
A plain 5g 22K nath is worth ₹69,845 today. A 9g bridal nath (net gold after stone removal) brings ₹1,25,721. Use the formula: Net Gold Weight × Purity × Today’s IBJA rate.
What is the average weight of a gold nath?
Small daily-wear bail rings weigh 2g–4g. Medium naths with pearl drops carry 3g–7g of gold. Large bridal naths range 5g–12g of gold after deducting stone and pearl weight.
What is the difference between a nath and a nose pin?
A nath is a large ring-style nose ornament – it wraps around or through the nostril and typically has a diameter of 2cm or more with decorative elements. A nose pin is a small stud that sits in the nostril. Both are sold at Attica, but they are different jewellery types with different typical weights.
Can I sell a nath without the original bill?
Yes. Attica Gold purchases jewellery without the original purchase invoice. XRF testing determines purity from the metal. Aadhaar is mandatory; PAN is required if your sale exceeds ₹2,00,000.
How are stones and pearls removed from a nath?
At the Attica branch, a trained evaluator removes all stones, pearls and lac before weighing. Stone weight is deducted and gold payment is on the remaining metal weight only. All removed items are returned to you.
Does a worn or old nath sell for less?
No. Physical wear and age do not affect gold purity. The XRF machine reads metal content regardless of condition.
What documents do I need to sell a gold nath?
Aadhaar is mandatory for all gold sales. PAN is required only if the total sale value exceeds ₹2,00,000.
