Gold Promise Ring: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

Gold Promise Ring: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

A promise ring symbolises a couple’s commitment, often given before an engagement ring as a token of devotion. Promise rings are typically simpler and lighter than engagement rings, ranging from thin plain bands to designs with a small accent stone.

At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value. Any accent stone is removed and handled separately.

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
