Gold Tennis Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

A gold tennis necklace is a necklace featuring a continuous line of identically set diamonds (or gemstones) on a gold chain – the necklace version of the tennis bracelet. At resale, the gold chain and the diamonds are valued separately. A gold buyer pays for the gold weight at the IBJA rate; the diamonds are removed and returned.

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
