22k Gold Making Charges: The making charges for 22K gold vary depending on the jeweler, the type of jewelry, and the design complexity. Typically, making charges are calculated as a percentage of the gold’s price, ranging between 5% to 20%. For intricate or handcrafted designs, the charges can go higher, while for machine-made jewelry, the rates are generally lower.
In some cases, jewelers may also levy fixed making charges instead of a percentage, especially for lightweight or standard designs. It is always recommended to compare rates at different shops and inquire about both making charges and additional taxes, such as GST (Goods and Services Tax), before finalizing a purchase.
