Gold Peacock Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

A gold peacock pendant features a peacock motif – one of the most popular symbolic designs in Indian jewellery. The peacock represents beauty, grace and good fortune and is associated with Goddess Saraswati and Lord Murugan in South Indian tradition. Peacock pendants range from small minimalist silhouettes to large ornate enamel or stone-set pieces.

At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value. Enamel, stones and the artistic peacock motif add no resale premium.

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
