What Are Gold Making Charges?
Making charges are the fees that a jeweller charges for the labour, skill, and equipment used to craft a piece of gold jewellery from raw gold. They are separate from the gold value itself and can vary significantly between jewellers, regions, and jewellery types.
Types of Making Charges
- Percentage-based: A percentage of the gold value, typically 8–25%. Common for plain and machine-made jewellery.
- Per gram: A fixed amount per gram of gold, regardless of the design. Common for specific jewellery types.
- Fixed: A flat fee for the entire piece, usually for specially commissioned or handmade jewellery.
What Affects Making Charges?

- Machine-made vs. handcrafted — machine-made typically costs less
- Type of jewellery — rings, chains, bangles, necklaces all vary
