From bar to bangle
How a fine gold bar becomes a 20 g 22K gold bangle, and what each step adds to the bill.
Fine bar
It starts as 18.32 g of 24K gold, 999 fine. Pure gold is too soft to wear.
Melt and alloy
Melted at 1,064 °C with 1.68 g of copper and silver: 20 g of 22K gold, hard enough to hold a shape.
Draw the wire
Poured into a steel mould to cast a rod, then pulled through smaller and smaller dies into wire. The making charge starts here.
Shape
Cut, bent round a mandrel and soldered shut into a bangle.
Decorate
Granules, engraving and set stones, by hand. Stones are billed on top of the metal.
Polish and hallmark
Polished, assayed and stamped 22K916 inside the band. In India the stamp adds the BIS mark and a six-character HUID.

Where the numbers come from
- Source
- Every rate here is compiled by goldratetodayin.com and refreshed at 12 am, 6 am and 6 pm India time, and checked every 15 minutes through the morning, when the day’s rates are published, so a change shows within minutes.
- Indian rates
- Gold city by city, at 24K, 22K and 18K as each city’s market quotes it; silver and platinum at one rate for the whole country. All in rupees, before GST and making charges. 14K gold and the lower grades of silver and platinum are worked out from the fine rate.
- Other countries
- Gold at the local board rate, by city where one is published and by country where not. Where there is no board rate, and for silver and platinum, international prices converted to your currency at mid-market exchange rates. All before local tax.
- History
- Ten years, day by day. Where a place’s own published rates begin later than that, the earlier line follows international prices, scaled to meet them.
