Gold Markets in Sheikhupura
Sheikhupura is known for the Mughal-era Hiran Minar and its fort, and for the factories along the Lahore–Sheikhupura road. Its jewellers are found in:
| Area | What you will find |
|---|---|
| Old city bazaars near the fort | Traditional jewellers, karat testing and repairs |
| Lahore Road and Sargodha Road commercial areas | Newer showrooms with ready-made designs |
| Muridke and Ferozewala 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.
Buying Gold in Sheikhupura or Lahore: Which Costs Less?
Sheikhupura is about 40 km from Lahore, and many families wonder whether a trip to Lahore’s big bazaars saves money. The gold rate itself is the same national Sarafa rate in both cities; the difference lies in the other costs:
| Cost element | Sheikhupura | Lahore |
|---|---|---|
| Gold rate (24K per tola) | Rs434,536 | Rs434,536 |
| Making charges | Often lower on plain, locally made pieces | Wider range; branded showrooms usually charge more |
| Design choice | Good for everyday and traditional designs | Largest choice of bridal and modern designs |
| Extra costs | None | Travel, a full day and parking |
| After-sale service | Easy to return for repairs or exchange | Return trips cost time |
For small pieces and repeat purchases, buying locally is usually cheaper overall. For a large bridal order, compare a written quote from a Sheikhupura jeweller with one from Lahore; see the gold rate in Lahore.
Solid Gold, Gold-Plated or Artificial: Know What You Are Paying For
Shops in Sheikhupura’s bazaars sell both real gold and lookalike jewellery. They can look the same in the display case, but their value is very different:
| Type | Gold content | What it is worth when sold |
|---|---|---|
| Solid 22K or 21K gold | 91.7% or 87.5% gold all the way through | Close to the day’s rate minus kat, e.g. about Rs348,534 for 1 tola of 22K |
| Gold-plated | A very thin gold layer over brass, copper or silver | Almost nothing as gold |
| Gold-filled or rolled gold | A thicker gold layer bonded to a base metal | Only the small gold layer has value |
| Artificial (imitation) jewellery | No gold | No gold value |
If a price looks far below today’s gold rate, the piece is almost certainly plated. Learn the tests in our guide on how to check gold purity.
Selling or Exchanging Gold in Sheikhupura
When you sell jewellery in Sheikhupura, 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 |
| 3 tola of 22K | Rs1,194,974 | − Rs149,372 | Rs1,045,602 |
| 1 tola 24K bar | Rs434,536 | Usually none | Rs434,536 |
Ask for the kat as a written figure before agreeing to sell, and compare it with a second shop. More on the deduction: what is kat in gold.
