The gold peacock pendant is one of the most popular motifs in Indian jewellery, especially in South India. Gold peacock pendants range from a small 3g coin piece to an elaborate 20g peacock necklace.
At resale, only gold weight and purity matter – not the craftsmanship of the feather design.

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 first
