About these prices
The gold rate set by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association applies in Islamabad as in the rest of Pakistan. Jewellers in Islamabad add their own making charges, which vary by shop and design, so ask for the price of the gold and the making charge separately.
Gold rates in Pakistan are announced daily by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association and follow the international price of gold and the rupee's exchange rate. Jewellers may charge more for making and design.
One tola is 11.6638 grams. Where the association gives only a price per tola, the price per 10 grams here is calculated from it.

Gold weights and purity explained
- Tola
- The traditional South Asian unit for gold: 1 tola = 11.6638 grams = 12 masha.
- Masha and ratti
- 1 masha = 8 ratti = 0.972 grams. Jewellers still weigh small pieces in masha and ratti.
- Gram and 10 grams
- Banks and international markets price gold by the gram; 10 grams is a common retail unit in Pakistan.
- Troy ounce
- International gold is priced in US dollars per troy ounce: 1 ounce = 31.1035 grams, about 2.67 tola.
- Karat (carat)
- Purity out of 24: 24K is about 99.9% gold, 22K is about 91.6% gold, 21K is about 87.5% gold, 20K is about 83.3% gold, 18K is about 75% gold. Most Pakistani jewellery is 21K or 22K; coins and bars are 24K.
- Hallmark
- A stamp certifying a piece's purity. Ask for it, and for a receipt showing weight and karat.
- Making charges (banwai)
- What a jeweller charges to make a piece, on top of the gold's value; it varies by shop and design, and is not refunded when you sell.
Why the gold rate changes in Islamabad
- International gold price: the Sarafa rate follows the world price in US dollars per ounce.
- The rupee: when the rupee weakens against the dollar, gold costs more in rupees even if the world price is flat.
- Local demand: wedding seasons and uncertain times push demand up; the Sarafa association announces a new rate daily.
Buying and selling gold: what to check
- Confirm the karat and weight (in tola, masha and ratti, or grams) on the receipt.
- Ask for the gold price and the making charge separately.
- When selling, jewellers usually deduct a percentage for impurity and buy back at below the day's selling rate.
