Gold Markets in Chiniot
Chiniot is known for its woodwork and for business families who trade across Pakistan. Its jewellery trade is centred in:
| Area | What you will find |
|---|---|
| Old city bazaars | Traditional jewellers and karat testing near the historic centre |
| Main roads and newer markets | Showrooms with ready-made designs |
| Lalian and Bhowana bazaars | Smaller markets in the district’s other tehsils |
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.
Testing Gold Purity in Chiniot: Kasauti, Acid and Karat Meter
Chiniot’s jewellers use three methods to check purity. Knowing which one is used tells you how much to trust the result:
| Method | How it works | Accuracy | Damages the piece? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kasauti (touchstone) | The piece is rubbed on a black stone and the streak is compared with test needles | Rough, depends on the tester’s experience | Leaves a tiny scratch |
| Acid test | Acid is dropped on the streak; the colour change shows the karat | Good for telling 18K from 22K | Small mark |
| Karat meter (XRF) | An X-ray machine reads the surface metal in seconds | Accurate to about 0.1 karat at the surface | No |
| Fire assay | A sample is melted and refined in a laboratory | Most accurate | Yes, a sample is destroyed |
A karat meter reads only the surface, so plated or heavily soldered pieces can give misleading results. For large sales, ask for an XRF reading and keep the printout.
Storing Gold Safely: Chinioti Jewellery Boxes, Home Safes and Lockers
Chiniot is famous across Pakistan for its carved wooden furniture, including traditional jewellery boxes. A beautiful box keeps jewellery organised, but it is not security. Compare the options:
| Option | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Carved jewellery box | Daily-wear pieces and keeping sets together | Offers no protection against theft |
| Home safe (bolted down) | Pieces worn every month | Must be fixed to the wall or floor; keep the code private |
| Bank locker | Bridal sets, bars and coins kept for years | Annual rent; access only in banking hours |
| Jeweller’s custody | Not recommended | Hard to prove ownership if there is a dispute |
Whichever you choose, keep receipts and photographs of each piece with its weight, so that it can be valued or claimed later.
Selling or Exchanging Gold in Chiniot
When you sell jewellery in Chiniot, 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 the buyer which purity test they used and get the result in writing before agreeing a price. More on the deduction: what is kat in gold.
