Gold Jimikki: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

The gold jimikki is the iconic Kerala traditional earring – a bell-shaped hanging earring worn by women at weddings, Onam celebrations and daily occasions across Kerala. The jimikki is characterised by its small bell-shaped pendant and is immortalised in the popular Malayalam song ‘Jimmiki Kammal’. Jimikki earrings range from simple 3g designs to elaborate stone-set 12g bridal pieces.

When it comes to resale, only gold weight and purity matter – not the cultural significance or the intricate bell design. This guide covers typical weights for gold jimikki by design, today’s live IBJA rate and exactly how much you receive at an Attica Gold branch.

Designs & Weight Comparison

Common Types & Use Cases

●      Plain small jimikki – everyday Kerala earring, 3g–6g per pair

●      Medium jimikki with pearl or gemstone drops – 5g–10g of gold

●      Stone-set bridal jimikki – wedding earring, 6g–12g of gold

●      Single jimikki if pair is incomplete – Attica buys individual pieces

●      Heirloom jimikki – age and condition do not affect gold value

Resale Value & Worked Example

The resale formula is: Net Gold Weight (g) × Purity (%) × Today’s 24K IBJA Rate. For a 5g plain 22K jimikki pair: 5 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹69,845.

For a stone-set pair with 10g total and 2g of stone weight: net gold = 8g; payout = 8 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹1,11,752. All removed stones are returned.

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 – 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 for the gram rate first
