Gold Kolhapuri Saaj Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

Gold kolhapuri saaj is a traditional Maharashtrian bridal necklace – a flat, multi-strand gold chain necklace with a distinctive geometric or temple-motif pendant. It originates from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, and is considered an essential part of the Marathi Hindu wedding jewellery set. A standard kolhapuri saaj weighs 18g–35g.

At resale, the kolhapuri craft tradition adds no premium – only gold weight and purity determine cash value.

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
