Checking the purity of gold in Salem

Checking the purity of gold is important when buying jewellery in Salem. You can use different methods to check the purity of gold:

  • Acid test: A special acid is used to check how the gold reacts and estimate its purity.
  • X-ray testing: An X-ray fluorescence machine checks the metals present in the gold.
  • Electronic testing: An electronic gold tester checks purity using electrical properties.
  • Assay testing: A certified assayer tests a gold sample to find its purity.
  • Density test: The gold's weight and volume are checked to estimate its purity.

These methods can help you check the quality of your gold. If you have eligible gold at home, check your gold loan eligibility to understand the basic requirements.


How can you calculate the value of your gold?

The value of gold depends on three main factors:

  • Gold weight
  • Gold purity
  • Current gold rate

Gold value formula

Gold value = Gold weight × current gold rate


Example gold value calculation

Suppose a customer in Salem owns:

  • 50 grams of 22K gold
  • Current 22K gold rate: Rs. 13,810 per gram
  • Estimated gold value: 50 × Rs. 13,810 = Rs. 6,90,500

This calculation gives an estimate of your gold’s current value based on the prevailing market rate. 

This example is for illustration only. Check the live gold price in Salem on this page before estimating your gold's value.


How do gold rates influence gold investments?

Gold price changes can affect the value of physical gold, Gold ETFs and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). Each option works differently, but all are linked to gold prices in some way. Investors may check gold rates before buying gold, investing in Gold ETFs or reviewing their existing holdings.

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

The gold value used when your gold is assessed plays an important role in deciding your loan amount. The price you paid when you bought the gold, or an older market rate, does not decide how much you may borrow. If the applicable gold value is higher, the same gold may support a larger loan amount. If it is lower, the eligible amount may reduce.


What decides your eligible loan amount?

Your gold loan eligibility 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.
