Silver chain price in India: what you should pay

Silver chain prices in India range from a few hundred rupees to tens of thousands. Here's what goes into the price, so you can tell a fair deal from a fake one.

1. The silver itself

The silver rate is quoted per gram for 999 (pure) silver and changes daily. A 925 piece contains 92.5% of that silver. So the metal value is roughly: weight in grams × daily silver rate × 0.925.

2. Making charges

Charges for the craft: drawing the wire, forming links, polishing and finishing. They're higher for handwork, casting and stone setting than for machine-made chains.

3. GST

Jewellery attracts 3% GST in India.

4. Branded vs local

Local jewellers often price by weight plus making charges. Brands usually charge one fixed price that also covers design, packaging, free shipping, exchanges and after-sales service.

Red flags

A thick "silver" chain for a few hundred rupees can't be solid 925 silver, because the silver alone costs more than that. It's steel or plated. Be wary of any seller who won't tell you the weight in grams and the purity.
