What is the difference between 18K, 22K, and 24K gold? 

The karat value tells you how much pure gold a piece contains. Higher karats mean more gold.

  • 18K gold is 75% pure gold. It's harder and more suitable for daily wear compared to higher purity options.
  • 22K gold features a slightly lower proportion of pure gold than 24K, making it sturdier and more suitable for crafting intricate jewellery pieces. It's the popular choice for traditional Indian jewellery in Kochi. Learn more about 22 carat gold purity before you buy.
  • 24K gold is esteemed for its unparalleled purity and value, making it the preferred choice for investment. Learn more about 24 carat gold purity before you invest.

How to check gold purity in Kochi 

Checking the purity of gold involves several simple techniques. For precise measurements, it's recommended to consult a certified jeweller or professional gold assayer.

  • Hallmark certification: Look for hallmark certification on the gold item, which guarantees purity and authenticity.
  • Visual inspection: Look for discolouration or signs of tarnishing, which may suggest impurities.
  • Magnetic test: Real gold is not magnetic, so using a magnet can help differentiate it from other metals.
  • Nitric acid test: This involves testing the gold with nitric acid, best conducted by a professional due to the chemicals involved.

For the most accurate results, always consult a certified jeweller or professional assayer in Kochi.

 

 How can you calculate the value of your gold? 

You can estimate the current value of your gold using three simple details:

  • Gold weight
  • Gold purity
  • Today's gold rate per gram

Formula 


Gold Value = Gold Weight × Gold Rate per Gram


Example: Suppose a customer in Kochi owns:


Weight of gold in grams


Current gold rate per gram


Estimated gold value: Weight × Applicable gold rate


This gives the approximate market value of your gold. The final loan amount depends on eligible LTV, actual karat, and the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. Now that you know what your gold is worth, find out how much you can borrow. Check your gold loan eligibility online.


 How do gold rates influence gold investments? 

Physical gold remains a popular choice in Kochi, offering emotional value and easy resale, though storage and making charges add cost. Gold ETFs track the gold price today in India without needing physical storage. Sovereign Gold Bonds offer interest income along with price-linked returns. Your best option depends on your financial goals and risk preference.

Calculate your gold loan

How does the gold price in Kochi affect your gold loan amount?

The gold price in Kochi can influence how much you may borrow against your gold. Lenders assess the gold at its current value, so the price you paid when you bought the jewellery does not decide the loan amount. If the applicable gold value is higher, the same gold may support a larger loan. If it is lower, the eligible amount may also reduce.


What decides your eligible loan amount?

Your gold loan amount mainly depends on:

  • Weight of the gold 
  • Purity of the gold 
  • Applicable gold price 
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio 

Only the actual gold content is considered during valuation. Stones, enamel, beads, and other non-gold parts are not included. Lenders also do not simply use today's headline rate. They use whichever is lower between the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This protects you from a sudden price spike inflating things unrealistically and protects the lender from the opposite.


Please note, the maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more, click here.
