Indian gold weight units explained
Indian bullion markets and traditional jewellery still use weight units that pre-date the metric system. Understanding the conversions is essential when buying gold from a non-branded jeweller, where stock is often quoted in tolas or mashas.
- 1 tola = 11.6638 grams — the historical Indian unit, still used in bullion markets and by traditional jewellers
- 1 sovereign = 8 grams — popular in South India, especially for bridal jewellery
- 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — the international bullion unit; LBMA quotes are in $/oz
- 1 masha = 0.9375 grams — traditional sub-unit, mostly used in jewellery making
- 1 ratti = 0.18125 grams — the smallest traditional unit; used for stones and tiny components
