According to Goldreturns data, 24-karat gold prices varied across cities, while silver prices also showed minor regional differences. The rates listed below are indicative retail prices and may change depending on local market conditions.

Gold and silver rates can differ between cities due to local taxes, transportation costs and jeweller pricing. The final amount paid for jewellery may also include making charges and applicable taxes.
Buyers should confirm the latest rate with their jeweller before making a purchase. Those considering precious metals as investments should also assess market volatility and seek professional advice where necessary.
