Gold Markets in Mardan
Mardan, near the Gandhara-era site of Takht-i-Bahi, is a farming and trading centre. Its jewellers are concentrated in:
| Area | What you will find |
|---|---|
| Old city bazaars | Traditional Pashtun designs, karat testing and repairs |
| Main commercial roads | Newer showrooms with ready-made jewellery |
| Takht Bhai and Swabi bazaars | Local markets for nearby towns |
Shop names and charges change over time, so visit at least two jewellers and ask for the gold rate and the making charge as separate figures.
Valuing Old Family Gold (Purana Sona) in Mardan
Many families in Mardan hold jewellery passed down over generations. Old pieces are valued only by their gold content today, so the karat matters more than the design:
| Old piece | Common karat | Value per tola today | After 12.5% kat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy traditional set | 21K – 22K | Rs380,219 – Rs398,325 | Rs332,692 – Rs348,534 |
| Older Gulf jewellery | 21K | Rs380,219 | Rs332,692 |
| Low-karat village pieces | 18K – 20K | Rs325,902 – Rs362,113 | Rs285,164 – Rs316,849 |
Have old gold tested on a karat meter before selling. Pieces repaired many times often contain extra solder and test lower than expected.
Avoiding Fake and Plated Gold in Mardan
| Warning sign | What it may mean |
|---|---|
| Price well below the day’s karat rate | Plated, filled or low-karat metal |
| Stamps such as GP, GF, HGE or RGP | Gold plated or gold filled, not solid gold |
| The piece is attracted to a magnet | A base-metal core |
| Green or dark marks on the skin | Copper or brass under a thin gold layer |
| Seller refuses a receipt or a karat test | Avoid the purchase |
Buy from established jewellers, ask for a karat-meter reading and keep a receipt showing karat, weight and price.
Selling or Exchanging Gold in Mardan
When you sell jewellery in Mardan, the jeweller values it at the day’s rate for its karat and then deducts kat, traditionally 1 ratti per masha (12.5%), for solder, alloy and wear. 24K bars from a recognised dealer are usually bought back without kat.
| You sell | Gold value today | Kat (12.5%) | Cash you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tola of 22K | Rs398,325 | − Rs49,791 | Rs348,534 |
| 1 tola of 21K | Rs380,219 | − Rs47,527 | Rs332,692 |
| 4 tola of 22K | Rs1,593,299 | − Rs199,162 | Rs1,394,136 |
| 1 tola 24K bar | Rs434,536 | Usually none | Rs434,536 |
Get the karat-meter result and the buy-back price in writing from two shops before selling. More on the deduction: what is kat in gold.
