Gold Nose Pin Price in Pakistan by Weight
The gold nose pin price in Pakistan depends on its tiny gold weight, its karat and a making charge that is high in proportion to the gold. At today’s rates, with an example 20% making charge:
| Weight | 22K | 21K | 18K | 24K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.25 g (0.26 masha) | Rs10,245 | Rs9,779 | Rs8,382 | Rs11,177 |
| 0.3 g (0.31 masha) | Rs12,294 | Rs11,735 | Rs10,059 | Rs13,412 |
| 0.5 g (0.51 masha) | Rs20,490 | Rs19,559 | Rs16,765 | Rs22,353 |
| 0.75 g (0.77 masha) | Rs30,735 | Rs29,338 | Rs25,147 | Rs33,530 |
| 1 g (1.03 masha) | Rs40,981 | Rs39,118 | Rs33,530 | Rs44,706 |
| 1.5 g (1.54 masha) | Rs61,471 | Rs58,677 | Rs50,294 | Rs67,059 |
| 2 g (2.06 masha) | Rs81,961 | Rs78,236 | Rs67,059 | Rs89,412 |
Rates from the APGJSA announcement of 21 October 2026. Many shops charge a fixed minimum for very small pieces instead of a percentage.
Koka, Long, Nath and Bulaq: Types of Gold Nose Jewellery
| Type | What it is | Usual weight | 22K price today |
|---|---|---|---|
| Koka (nose stud) | A small stud with a screw or bent post, worn every day | 0.25 – 0.75 g | Rs10,245 – Rs30,735 |
| Long (laung) | A clove-shaped stud, often set with a small stone | 0.3 – 0.6 g | Rs12,294 – Rs24,588 |
| Nose ring (nathli / ballie) | A small hoop worn on the side of the nose | 0.5 – 1.5 g | Rs20,490 – Rs61,471 |
| Bulaq | A pendant hanging from the centre of the nose | 1 – 3 g | Rs40,981 – Rs122,942 |
| Bridal nath | A large ring linked by a chain to the hair or earring | 3 – 12 g | Rs117,819 – Rs471,277 |
Why Small Gold Pieces Cost More per Gram
Setting a screw post, shaping a clove-shaped head or fitting a stone takes about as much skill for a half-gram koka as for a much heavier piece. So the labour charge is a bigger share of the price. On a 0.5 g 22K nose pin the gold is worth about Rs17,075, while the making can add Rs3,415 or more.
- Compare the total price of the same design at two or three shops rather than the gold rate alone.
- Plain gold pieces have lower making charges than stone-set or enamelled ones.
- Buying a pair or a set together can lower the minimum charge per piece.
Which Karat Is Best for a Nose Pin?
| Karat | Suitability for nose jewellery |
|---|---|
| 24K (999) | Very soft; the post can bend, so it is rarely used for everyday studs |
| 22K (916) | The most common choice: rich yellow colour and soft enough for traditional work |
| 21K (875) | Slightly harder and a little cheaper, popular for daily-wear koka |
| 18K (750) | Hardest and best for holding diamonds or stones securely |
People with sensitive skin often find real gold more comfortable than artificial nose jewellery, which may contain nickel. Clean the post regularly whatever the karat.
Bridal Nath Price in Pakistan
A bridal nath combines a large ring with a decorative chain, so it weighs far more than a daily nose pin. Approximate prices in 22K with an example 15% making charge:
| Nath weight | Gold value (22K) | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|
| 3 g | Rs102,451 | Rs117,819 |
| 5 g | Rs170,752 | Rs196,365 |
| 8 g | Rs273,204 | Rs314,185 |
| 12 g | Rs409,806 | Rs471,277 |
Heavier traditional designs with pearls or kundan cost more. Matching sets: gold ring and jewellery prices.
Diamond Nose Pin (Long) Price
A diamond long or koka is priced in two parts: the gold setting, usually 18K, and the diamond, priced separately by its carat weight, colour and clarity. The gold part is small:
| Setting weight (18K) | Gold value today |
|---|---|
| 0.3 g | Rs8,382 |
| 0.5 g | Rs13,971 |
| 0.75 g | Rs20,956 |
Ask for a certificate or a written description of the diamond, and check whether the price quoted includes the setting.
Selling a Gold Nose Pin
Jewellers buy small pieces by gold weight only, at the day’s karat rate minus kat, and stones are removed or not paid for. A 0.5 g 22K nose pin is worth about Rs14,941 when sold today. Because the amounts are small, many people keep or exchange nose pins rather than selling them.
