Gold Band Ring: Plain Band Weight & Resale Value

A gold band ring is a plain gold ring without a central stone – a simple, smooth or lightly textured band of gold. Band rings are worn for many purposes: wedding bands, stackable rings, daily-wear rings, men's plain rings. They range from very thin 1g bands to broad 10g cuff-style bands.

At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.

Tax Treatment When You Sell

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
