Gold Lariat Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold lariat necklace (also called a Y-necklace or lasso necklace) is a long necklace without a clasp that wraps around the neck and hangs with two open ends, often with a pendant or decorative drop at each end. Lariat necklaces are a popular modern Western jewellery style.

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
