Keep the unit attached to every rate

A price without a weight unit is incomplete. Pakistan retail discussions commonly use tola and grams, while international precious-metal references commonly use the troy ounce.

  • 1 tola = 11.6638038 grams in this website’s conversion model
  • 10 grams = 0.8573507 tola
  • 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams
  • 1 troy ounce = approximately 2.6667 tola

Do not confuse ounce systems

Precious metals use the troy ounce, which is different from the everyday avoirdupois ounce. A calculation should explicitly say troy ounce and retain enough precision internally before rounding the displayed result.

Net weight matters for jewellery

The gross weight of a jewellery article can include stones or non-gold components. Ask for net gold weight, purity and the unit used on the invoice before comparing the quote with a market reference.
