A gold necklace set – the necklace and matching earrings sold together – represents the single most valuable jewellery transaction most families will encounter. Necklace-and-earring sets range from a lightweight 20g daily-wear pair to a heavy bridal set of 80g–120g. When selling a set, the combined gold weight determines the total cash value.
This guide covers typical weights for gold necklace sets by design, today’s live IBJA rate and exactly how much cash you receive at an Attica Gold branch.

Resale Value & Worked Example
The resale formula is: Net Gold Weight (g) × Purity (%) × Today’s 24K IBJA Rate. For a plain 50g 22K necklace set: 50 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹6,98,450.
For a bridal stone-set necklace set weighing 80g total with 12g of stones: net gold = 68g; payout = 68 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹9,49,892. All stone weights disclosed and removed before weighing. PAN is required for most necklace set sales at today’s rates.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a gold necklace set worth today?
A plain 50g 22K necklace set is worth ₹6,98,450 today. A heavier 70g set brings ₹9,77,830. The formula: Net Gold Weight × Purity × Today’s IBJA rate.
Can I sell the necklace and keep the earrings?
Yes. Attica Gold buys individual pieces. You can sell only the necklace and keep the earrings – or vice versa. Payment is based on the weight and purity of whatever you bring.
How are stones removed from a necklace set?
At the Attica branch, a trained evaluator removes all embedded stones and pearls before weighing. Stone weight is deducted and gold payment is on the remaining metal only. All removed stones are returned to you.
What is the typical weight of a gold necklace set in India?
A light daily-wear set totals 20g–40g. Wedding gift sets typically range 35g–65g. Bridal sets carry 50g–120g of gold. Weight depends significantly on necklace length, design and stone setting.
What documents are needed to sell a necklace set?
Aadhaar is mandatory. PAN is required if the total sale value exceeds ₹2,00,000. Most necklace sets at current rates will exceed this – bring both documents.
Is an old or antique necklace set worth the same as a new one?
Yes. Resale is based purely on gold weight and purity – not age, design or brand. An antique set and a modern set of identical weight and karat fetch the same cash per gram.
How long does it take to sell a necklace set at Attica?
Stone removal, XRF testing, weighing and payment typically takes 30–60 minutes for a complete set. Payment is made on the same day by cash, UPI or bank transfer.
