Silver Pricing Guide for 2026
Unlike gold, silver prices are usually quoted per Kilogram (1000 grams). However, for retail items like anklets, utensils, or coins, the price is calculated based on the gram weight and the specific purity of the metal used.
1. Purity Levels Explained
- 999 Fine Silver: This is 99.9% pure silver, usually sold in the form of coins and bars for investment. It is very soft and not suitable for jewellery.
- 925 Sterling Silver: This is the global standard for jewellery. It contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to make it durable and strong.
2. Making Charges on Silver
Making charges for silver items are typically calculated per gram rather than as a percentage. For simple items like coins, making charges might be as low as ₹5–₹10 per gram. For intricate 925 sterling silver jewellery with rhodium plating, charges can go up to ₹50–₹100 per gram.
3. GST on Silver Items
Similar to gold, a **3% GST** is applied to the total value of the silver plus the making charges. Always ensure your bill shows this breakup to guarantee the authenticity of your purchase.
Checking for Authenticity
When buying silver in 2026, always look for the BIS Hallmark. Even silver items now carry hallmarking to protect consumers. For 925 silver, you should see the "925" mark stamped clearly on the item, often accompanied by the jeweler's identification mark.
