The gold satlada is a traditional Hyderabadi seven-string (sat = seven, lada = string) necklace – a grand multi-layered ornament associated with Nizami and Hyderabadi royal jewellery. Satlada necklaces traditionally feature seven strings of pearls or gold beads with gold spacers and a central pendant. A gold satlada can be a substantial piece, weighing 30g–70g of gold.
At resale, only the gold content is paid – pearls and non-gold elements are excluded.

What to Watch For
● Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing

● Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
