At Pakistan Minerals & Gems (Pvt) Ltd, we understand that whether you are purchasing bridal jewelry, investing in bullion, or gifting a meaningful piece, access to accurate, real-time market data is non-negotiable. The rates displayed in the tracker above are updated regularly, pulling from international bullion benchmarks (quoted in USD per Troy Ounce) and converting them directly into Pakistani Rupees (PKR), then localized into the Tola — the weight standard used universally across Pakistan’s Sarafa markets.
Pakistan’s gold trade is traditionally governed by Sarafa associations — organized jewelers’ bodies operating in major commercial hubs including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. These associations set a daily baseline rate that local jewelers reference when buying and selling.
It is important to note that the figure shown on this tracker reflects the raw bullion rate only. When purchasing finished jewelry, your jeweler will apply separate making charges (labor and design costs) on top of this baseline, along with any applicable taxes.
Not all gold is priced or crafted the same way. Before buying, understanding how the Karat system works will help you make a financially sound decision.
This is the purest commercially available form of the metal. Because 24-Karat contains no alloy metals whatsoever, it is exceptionally soft and unsuitable for daily-wear jewelry. It is the preferred choice for investment-grade gold bars, coins, and biscuits, where intrinsic value matters most and wearability is irrelevant.
At 91.6% purity, 22-Karat is the dominant choice for traditional South Asian and Pakistani bridal jewelry sets. The remaining 8.4% — typically copper or zinc — provides just enough structural strength for intricate craftsmanship while preserving the deep, rich yellow color associated with high-value heirloom pieces.
Popular across the Middle East and gaining significant traction in Pakistan, 21-Karat gold (87.5% pure) offers an excellent balance between high intrinsic value and the durability required for daily-wear rings and chains.
With 75% gold content and 25% alloy, 18-Karat is the international benchmark for fine diamond and gemstone settings. The added hardness allows prong and bezel settings to securely hold precious stones without deforming — making it the ideal base metal for pieces set with Swat Emeralds or Moissanite stones.
Gold is a globally traded commodity, and its PKR value shifts in response to several interconnected factors.
In Pakistan’s standardized measurement system, 1 Tola equals exactly 11.6638 grams. This is the unit you will see quoted by all Sarafa associations and local jewelers nationwide.
The answer depends entirely on your purpose. If your goal is pure financial investment — storing value with no intention of wearing it — 24-Karat bars or coins are the correct choice, as you avoid paying any making charges. If you want wearable jewelry, 22K or 18K is required; 24-Karat is far too soft to hold a design or secure a gemstone.
No. Every figure on this tracker represents the raw bullion value of the metal only. Making charges, design fees, and applicable taxes are added separately by your jeweler at the point of sale.
