Track the movement of 24K, 22K and 18K gold prices over the last 30 days.
None of these move in isolation – which is why the rate can shift more than once between morning and evening.
Gold trades globally in dollars; a weaker rupee against the dollar raises the converted price locally.
Domestic futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange are referenced alongside spot prices when jewellers set the day’s rate.
India imports most of its gold, so customs duty and GST changes show up in retail prices within days.
Lucknow sees demand spikes through the wedding season and around Dhanteras and Akshay Tritiya, which can nudge local premiums.
Gold is widely held as an inflation hedge, so rate changes and inflation trends feed into pricing gradually over time.
Broader risk appetite in equity and bond markets shifts how much capital flows into gold as a safe-haven asset.
The karat number changes almost everything else about a finished piece.

The base metal rate is common city-wide. Everything layered on top varies.
Making charges — flat per gram or a percentage of gold value; varies by design.
Hallmarking cost — a small fixed BIS certification charge.
Design complexity — hand-finished polki or kundan work costs more in labour than machine-cast pieces.
Stone & diamond charges — priced separately, based on quality and certification.
Wastage charges — some sellers add a small percentage for metal lost while crafting.
GST — a flat 3% on total value, standard everywhere.
Every piece carries BIS hallmark certification. Every diamond above a set carat weight comes with its own certificate.

Waiting for a “perfect” day usually costs more in delay than it saves per gram.
Look for the BIS logo and six-digit HUID stamped on the piece.
Ask whether it’s flat per-gram or a percentage — the two can differ a lot.
Handcrafted bridal pieces take time, especially before the season rush.
Lower making charges, easier to value consistently.
The rate changes daily and sometimes more than once a day, so the live table at the top of this page is the most reliable figure. It’s manually checked before publishing and shows the metal rate only — making charges and GST are added separately.
Gold is priced against international markets that move on the dollar’s strength, global demand, and investor sentiment, with domestic import duty, GST, and local demand adding another layer on top.
24K is 99.9% pure while 22K is 91.6% pure, with the rest made up of other metals for added strength. 22K is the standard for bridal jewellery in Lucknow because it holds detailed work without bending.
The core rate is similar city-wide, but the final price depends on making charges, design complexity, and whether wastage is charged separately. Always ask for an itemised bill before comparing quotes.
Yes — a flat 3% GST applies on the gold value plus making charges combined. It’s a fixed government levy and should appear identically on invoices from any legitimate seller.
Yes, BIS hallmarking with a six-digit HUID is mandatory. It certifies the purity stamped on the piece and gives you a traceable record if you resell it later.
It’s the labour cost of shaping raw gold into a finished piece, charged as a flat rate per gram or a percentage of value. Handcrafted designs carry higher charges than machine-made pieces.
If you’re buying for a specific need, buying on the day you need it usually makes more sense than waiting for a lower rate. Savings from timing the market are rarely significant next to having what you need on time.
22K is most common for traditional and bridal jewellery. 18K suits diamond-heavy pieces since it holds stones more securely. 14K suits simpler, sturdier everyday pieces.
Not really — 24K is soft enough to bend and scratch easily, which is why it’s mainly used for coins and bars rather than pieces meant for regular wear.
Yes. The rate table on this page is checked and updated daily against local bullion figures before publishing.
It starts with the international spot price converted at the current dollar-to-rupee rate, adjusted for import duty and MCX futures activity, before local jewellers add making charges and GST at sale.
The same global and national factors apply everywhere, but Lucknow sees added demand pressure during wedding season and festivals like Dhanteras and Bara Mangal.
Yes — its higher metal-to-alloy ratio compared to 22K gives it more strength to hold stones securely over years of wear, while keeping a rich gold colour.
