Gold rates in Hyderabad today (Nov 3): Dhanteras and Diwali 2026 gold shopping on mind? Here is 22, 18 and 24 karat price list

With Dhanteras on Friday, November 6, and Diwali on Sunday, November 8, the next four days are the busiest of the year for jewellers in Charminar, Somajiguda and Jubilee Hills.

Hyderabad's buying pattern is distinctive. Traditional kadas, necklaces and temple sets are almost always 22 karat, while the pearl, ruby and emerald work the city is known for are usually set in 18 karat gold in which the harder alloy holds stones securely.

Buyers weighing a stone-studded piece against a plain one should note that the two are quoted on different base rates, so a straight per-gram comparison can be misleading.

Please note that the rates above are indicative. Actual quotes can vary from store to store. So, you should compare rates at more than one jeweller yourself. The amount you finally pay will also be higher than the karat-based price because making charges and 3% are added on top. For instance, 10 grams of 22 karat at 12% making charges can attract GST of ₹4,293, taking the total to about ₹1,47,384.

Making charges are worth negotiating and comparing as hard as the rate. Every jewellery piece should come with a BIS hallmark and HUID number that matches the bill.
