Gold Ring as Investment India — What You Should Know
In India, gold is more than just a decorative accessory; it is a symbol of financial security and wealth. While gold jewelry holds its value over time, it is important to understand how retail charges affect its return on investment.
Understanding making charges and Resale Value
When you buy a gold ring, you pay for three things:
1. **The Gold Value**: The market price of the gold based on its weight and purity.
2. **Making Charges**: The labor and design fee charged by the jeweler, ranging from 5% to 25%.
3. **GST**: Government tax of 3%.
When you sell or trade your gold ring back to a jeweler, **you only receive the value of the pure gold content**. The making charges and GST are lost.
