Should You Exchange Old Gold in 2025?

Should You Exchange Your Old Gold for New Jewellery in 2025?

By Dhirsons Jewellers Karol Bagh | Trusted Since 1965

In today’s gold market, where prices are at an all-time high, many customers are asking: "Should I exchange my old gold for something new?" The answer depends on several factors—purity, wear & tear, and market rates. At Dhirsons Jewellers Karol Bagh, we help you make an informed choice.

1. Understand Your Gold's Purity

Before exchanging, check the hallmark. Old gold items without hallmark may fetch less unless tested. We offer free gold purity checks with our Karat Analyser for complete transparency.

2. Current Gold Rate vs Your Purchase Rate

If you bought gold years ago when prices were lower, now may be the right time to upgrade. You could get excellent value—especially with high prices in 2025.

3. Making Charges: Recover or Lose?

When you exchange, the value is based on net weight and purity. Making charges are not refunded. So, exchanging old items with high labour value may not recover full cost. However, at Dhirsons, we offer:

Competitive gold valuation
Waived or discounted making on new purchases
On-the-spot exchange offers

4. Ideal Time to Exchange

Festive periods, wedding seasons, and Dhanteras are good times. We usually have extra bonuses or lower making charges then.

“Don’t let your gold lie idle in a locker. Upgrade it into a beautiful new piece you’ll love to wear.”
