Old gold buying
Sell old gold in Hyderabad
Weighed on a scale that faces you, tested at your side, and priced on a written slip. If the number is not right for you, you leave with your gold.
Sell old gold with the numbers in front of you
If you have old gold at home that you no longer wear, ClearKarat buys it. You bring it, we weigh it on a scale whose display faces you, we test the purity while you watch, and you receive an itemised slip. Only then do you decide. If the price is not right for you, you leave with every gram you came with.
What we buy
- Gold jewellery: chains, necklaces, bangles, rings, earrings, anklets and mangalsutras, in any karat.
- Broken or single pieces: a lost-partner earring, a snapped chain or a dented bangle is still gold.
- Gold coins and bars: bought on weight and purity.
- Old and mixed gold: inherited pieces, pieces without bills and jewellery that has no hallmark.
How the price is worked out
The price comes from one line of arithmetic: net weight, times purity, times the day's gold rate. Net weight means the weight left after stones, lac and dirt are taken out. Purity is the tested karat of your gold. The rate is the gold rate on the day, and the rate on your slip is the one used when your gold is weighed.

- Purity is tested at your side and the result is explained.
- Every deduction has its own line on the slip.

Questions
Straight answers
How does ClearKarat value my gold?
We weigh your gold on a scale whose display faces you, take out the weight of any stones, lac or dirt, test the purity while you watch, and multiply the net weight by the purity and the day's gold rate. Each of those numbers goes on its own line of a written slip before you decide anything.
How is the purity of my gold checked?
Purity is tested in front of you and the result is explained to you, not just announced. The reading is written on your slip as a karat value such as 22K or 18K. You can read more about the common testing methods in our guide to how gold purity is tested.
Why are stones and dirt weighed out?
Stones, lac, enamel and dirt have weight but are not gold, so they cannot be paid for as gold. Removing them gives the net weight, which is the weight your price is based on. The deduction appears as its own line on the slip so you can see exactly what was taken out.
Do I have to sell my gold after it is weighed and tested?
No. You can say no at any step. Nothing is bought, melted or kept until you agree, and old gold you brought in goes straight back into your hands.
Do you buy gold without a bill or hallmark?
Yes. Old jewellery, coins, chains and broken pieces can be bought without a bill. Without a hallmark the purity is tested while you watch and the result is written on the slip.
Can I get my gold tested without selling it?
Yes. You can ask for weighing and testing and then decide. You are never obliged to sell.
