What Determines Chennai's Gold Rate Each Day
The gold rate published each day in Chennai is not set arbitrarily, it moves based on a combination of global and local factors that shift daily, sometimes even within the same day.
Which Gold Rate Applies to Your Jewellery?
Most jewellery sold and worn in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu is 22K gold, 22 parts pure gold out of 24, alloyed with other metals for strength and durability in daily wear. 24K gold is 99.9% pure and is softer, so it's mainly used for investment coins and bars rather than jewellery.
18K gold, containing 18 parts pure gold out of 24, is used in some lightweight or stone-set jewellery designs. Whichever purity your item is, the price you receive when selling is based on its verified purity and net gold weight, tested using certified XRF equipment rather than assumed from the item's stamped karat alone.
