A gold solitaire ring features a single prominent stone (usually a diamond) set on a gold band. When selling a solitaire ring to a gold buyer, it is important to understand that the gold band and the solitaire stone are valued separately – the gold is paid by weight and purity, while the diamond requires separate certification-based valuation.
At a gold buyer, only the gold band’s weight and purity are paid for the gold portion.

Resale Value & Worked Example
The gold band is weighed after the stone is removed. For a 4g 22K band: 4 × 0.916 × ₹15,250 = ₹55,876.
The solitaire diamond is valued separately based on its 4Cs and certification – a gold buyer pays only for the gold. If you wish to sell the diamond too, bring its GIA/IGI certificate for separate assessment.
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
