What is a tola in gold jewellery?

 A tola is a traditional South Asian weight unit used for gold. In jewellery today, most 22ct pieces follow the new 10g jewellery tola, while bullion bars still follow the traditional 11.66g tola. When you buy a necklace, bangle or pendant labelled “1 tola,” the gram weight shown by the jeweller will confirm whether it is a 10g or 11.66g standard. In the UK both versions are understood, but jewellery almost always refers to the 10g tola.

There are two accepted tola standards:

  • Traditional tola (Bullion bars): approx. 11.66 grams

  • New jewellery tola (22ct jewellery): exactly 10 grams

Most UK jewellers listing “1 tola jewellery” mean 10g, while bullion dealers use 11.66g. Product pages should always list the exact gram weight.

The value of 1 tola depends on which tola standard applies and the live UK gold price per gram.

  • Jewellery tola: 10g × live 22ct price per gram

  • Bullion tola: 11.66g × live 24ct price per gram

Jewellery may include making charges. Bullion bars may include minting premiums. Because gold prices fluctuate, 1 tola value changes throughout the day.

For 22ct jewellery, yes — 10g is treated as a full 1 jewellery tola.
For bullion, no — 10g is less than the traditional 11.66g tola.
This is why gold bars and jewellery sometimes show different weights even if both say “1 tola.”

The jewellery tola is a simplified metric tola of 10 grams used for 22ct gold pieces such as bangles, chains and pendants.
The bullion tola is the traditional South Asian measure of 11.66 grams, still widely used for pure 24K gold bars.
Both are authentic; the key is knowing which is used for the product you are buying.

It depends on your purpose:

  • Tola bars (11.66g) are popular for saving and gifting, especially in South Asian households.

  • Tola jewellery (10g) combines investment value with wearability.

  • Gold coins have wide global recognition and often feature mint designs.

All formats derive value from gold weight. Choose based on your cultural preference, resale comfort and how you plan to use the gold.

Use the correct tola standard:

  • Jewellery tola (10g each):

    • 2 tola = 20g

    • 5 tola = 50g

  • Bullion tola (11.66g each):

    • 2 tola = 23.32g

    • 5 tola = 58.3g

Multiply the total grams by the live UK gold rate to estimate value. This helps when comparing different weights or planning a jewellery purchase.

At PureJewels, every bridal jewellery set is a personal expression of heritage and elegance. The amount of gold required can vary beautifully depending on whether your vision leans toward contemporary minimalism or a more traditional, statement look. To help guide you, we use the simplified jeweller’s measure where 1 tola = 10 grams for 22ct gold.
