How to Estimate Your Bangle's Value at Home
If you have a kitchen scale or jewellery scale at home:
1. Weigh the bangle - note the weight in grams
2. Check the hallmark: 916 (22K), 750 (18K), 585 (14K)
3. Apply the formula: Weight (g) × Purity fraction × IBJA rate
Example - 15g bangle, 22K hallmark:
15 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹2,09,535
Note: This is the reference figure. The branch will apply a small deduction of 1-2% as their margin, and any stones or lac filling will be assessed and excluded from the weight.
Important Notes on Bangle Weight
- Hollow bangles weigh less than they appear - the hollow space adds no gold value
- Stone-set bangles: stones are removed or estimated and deducted from the weight
- Lac filling inside bangles: weight is estimated and deducted
- Openable bangles with lock mechanisms: the lock is included in gold weight if it is the same alloy
- Pairs: if selling a pair, weigh both together - the total matters, not which is heavier
- Damaged or bent bangles: same rate - gold value is by weight and purity, not condition

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gold bangle weigh?
Plain bangles typically weigh 6-15g each. Bridal or heavy bangles can be 20-50g. Weigh yours at home for an accurate estimate.
How do I calculate the value of my gold bangle?
Weight (g) × purity fraction × ₹15,250/g (today's IBJA 24K rate). For 22K: × 0.916.
Does a hollow bangle give less money?
Yes - hollow bangles weigh less per visual size, so you receive less. The rate per gram is the same, but there are fewer grams.
Are stone-set bangles worth less?
The gold portion pays the same rate. But stones are excluded from the weight calculation.
What if I have a set of 4 bangles?
Weigh all four together - the total weight × purity × IBJA rate gives the combined value.
Does bangle design affect the price?
No - only weight and purity matter at resale. Intricate designs are irrelevant.
How do I know if my bangle is 22K or 18K?
Look for the BIS hallmark stamp: 916 for 22K, 750 for 18K. Or bring it for free XRF testing at any Attica Gold branch.
