Silver Kada Price in India Today (October 2026): Weight-Wise Price List
Buying a silver kada is a big decision. For many families it is a gift for a son, a husband or a father. For others it is a way to own a heavy piece of silver that also looks good. But the first question almost everyone asks is the same: what should a silver kada cost today?
The honest answer is that it changes. Silver is traded every day, so the price of a kada moves with the market. In 2026 this has been even more visible. Silver rose sharply early in the year, then corrected, and today it trades at roughly Rs. 235 per gram. This guide explains how the price of a kada is worked out, gives you an approximate price list by weight, and shows you how to avoid paying more than you should.
What is a silver kada?
A kada (also called chandi ka kada) is a thick, solid bracelet worn on the wrist. Men wear heavy plain or engraved kadas, often with religious designs such as Om, Trishul or mantras. Women wear lighter, more decorative kadas. Kadas are made in 925 sterling silver and in 999 pure silver, and they can be plain, oxidized (antique), flat, round, or hand-engraved.
Because a kada is mostly solid metal, its price depends heavily on weight. That is why people search by weight, for example "100 gram silver kada price".
How is silver kada price calculated?
Every honest jeweller uses the same basic formula:
Final Price = (Silver weight x today's silver rate) + Making charges + 3% GST
• Silver value. This is the base value of the metal. At about Rs. 235 per gram today [UPDATE], a 100 g kada has roughly Rs. 23,500 of silver in it. Rates can differ slightly by city and dealer, so always check the live rate.
• Making charges. This is what you pay for the labour and skill of making the piece. For a plain, heavy kada it is usually about Rs. 50 to Rs. 100 per gram. Detailed engraving, antique finish, stone setting or custom designs cost more.
• GST. Goods and Services Tax of 3% is charged on the total of silver value plus making charges.
A simple example: a 100 g kada, silver at Rs. 235 per gram, making charges at Rs. 70 per gram. Silver value is Rs. 23,500. Making charges are Rs. 7,000. The total before tax is Rs. 30,500. Add 3% GST (Rs. 915) and the final price is about Rs. 31,415.
Silver kada price list by weight (approximate) [UPDATE]
The table below uses a silver rate of Rs. 235 per gram and making charges of Rs. 50 to Rs. 100 per gram for plain kadas, with 3% GST included. Use it as a guide, not a fixed price.

50 g | Rs. 11,750 | Rs. 2,500 - Rs. 5,000 | Rs. 14,700 - Rs. 17,300 |
100 g | Rs. 23,500 | Rs. 5,000 - Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 29,400 - Rs. 34,500 |

Which kada weight should you choose?
20 g to 30 g: light and daily wear
A light kada is comfortable for office, travel and everyday use. It is also a good first purchase if you have never worn a kada before. It costs the least, and it is easy to gift.
40 g to 60 g: the most popular range
Many buyers find this range the best balance. The kada looks solid on the wrist, is not too heavy to wear all day, and the price stays reasonable. If you are unsure, start here.
80 g to 100 g and above: bold and valuable
Heavy kadas make a strong statement. They suit men who want a bold look, and they also carry more silver value, so some buyers see them as a way to hold silver. The making charge per gram is often lower on heavy plain kadas, which can improve value for money.
Plain kada vs designer kada
A plain or lightly finished kada costs less per gram in making charges, because less labour goes into it. A designer kada, such as one with deep mantra engraving, oxidized antique work or a chitai (carved) pattern, costs more because skilled craftsmen spend hours on it. Neither is better. Choose plain if you care about silver value, and choose designer if you care about the look.
Silver kada for men vs women
• Men: Usually 40 g to 150 g, broad, flat or round, with religious or antique designs. Many men prefer adjustable or openable kadas for an easier fit.
• Women: Usually 15 g to 50 g, slimmer, with floral, stone or meenakari work. Light weight makes them easier to wear with bangles.
7 tips to check before you buy a silver kada
1. Check purity. Look for a 925 or 999 stamp and ask for a purity certificate. Our kadas come with 925 hallmark certification.
2. Ask for the price breakup. The seller should show silver value, making charges and GST separately. If they only give one number, ask for the breakup.
3. Compare making charges. Compare making charges per gram between sellers, not just the final price.
4. Measure your wrist. Measure the widest part of your hand (knuckles) and wrist. A fixed kada must slide over your hand. An adjustable kada is easier if you are unsure.
5. Verify the weight. Check the actual weight on the bill. Light-weight and heavy-weight kadas of the same design can differ in price a lot.
6. Check the return policy. Shubh Jewellers offers a 7-day return policy, which gives you time to check the product.
7. Keep your bill. Always take a proper bill with weight, purity and price. It protects you if you sell or exchange later.
How to care for your silver kada
Silver darkens slowly when it meets air, sweat and chemicals. This is normal and can be cleaned. Wipe your kada with a soft cloth after wearing it, store it in a dry pouch, and avoid perfume and cleaning chemicals on it. For deeper cleaning, use a mild silver polish or a gentle mix of warm water and a drop of soap. Oxidized (antique) kadas should not be scrubbed hard, because the dark finish is part of the design.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Is a 100 g silver kada a good buy?
Yes, if you want a heavy piece that also carries real silver value. A 100 g kada has about Rs. 23,500 of silver at today's rate [UPDATE]. Compare the making charges between sellers to get the best value.
Q. Why does the price change every day?
Silver prices follow the international market and the dollar-rupee exchange rate. As the rate moves, the same kada can cost a different amount on different days.
Q. Is 925 or 999 better for a kada?
