Gold Rosary Chain: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold rosary chain features small linked beads, often resembling the traditional Catholic rosary prayer beads, but crafted in solid gold as a wearable necklace/chain. Popular among India’s Christian community and as a fashion chain style more broadly, gold rosary chains range from thin daily-wear pieces to heavy statement chains.
At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value.

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
