The gold Krishna pendant – depicting Lord Krishna or Bal Gopal – is one of the most gifted religious gold pieces in India. It ranges from a simple 3g coin pendant to an elaborate 15g deity piece.
At resale, religious significance adds nothing to the cash value – only gold weight and purity determine what you receive.

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 first
