Gold Veni: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold veni is a traditional South Indian hair ornament — a decorative gold accessory worn in braided hair or a bun. Also called jadanagam (when snake-shaped), jada billai or simply hair ornament, the veni typically consists of gold clips, chains or pendants woven into the hair.
At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value.
