Gold Emerald Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold emerald pendant features an emerald (panna) set in a gold setting. Emerald is one of the nine Navratna gemstones associated with Mercury (Budh) in Vedic astrology, and is popular in both astrological and fashion jewellery.
At resale, the gold setting and the emerald are valued separately. A gold buyer pays for the gold by weight; the emerald requires a separate certified gemstone assessment.

Common Types & Use Cases
· Small emerald pendant (fashion) – 2g–5g gold
· Vedic/astrological emerald pendant (panna) – 4g–10g gold
· Large ornate emerald pendant (bridal/heirloom) – 7g–16g gold
· Emerald pendant on chain – weighed separately
· Synthetic (lab-grown) emerald pendant – gold still paid by weight; stone still requires separate assessment
Resale Value & Worked Example
For a 5g 22K gold setting: 5 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹69,845.
The emerald is removed and returned. Natural emeralds can have significant value depending on origin, colour and clarity (Colombian emeralds command premium prices). Always get a certificate from GIA, IGL or a certified Navratna specialist before selling the stone separately.
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
· 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

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a gold emerald pendant worth at a gold buyer?
Only the gold portion is paid: ₹69,845 for a 5g 22K setting. The emerald needs separate gemstone valuation.
What is the difference between natural and synthetic emerald for resale?
A gold buyer pays only for the gold regardless of stone origin. For the stone itself, natural emeralds have significantly higher value than synthetic (lab-grown) ones.
Is a Vedic/astrological emerald pendant worth more?
The Vedic or astrological significance does not add resale value at a gold buyer. Only the gold and the gemstone quality (separately assessed) matter.
How is the emerald removed?
At the Attica branch before weighing. Stone returned to you.
What documents?
Aadhaar mandatory. Most below ₹2L PAN threshold.
What purity?
Most are 22K or 18K. XRF confirms.
How long?
15–20 minutes for gold portion.
