How Nepali Jewellers Convert Silver in Lal, Aana & Tola
Nepal's jewellery trade uses a fixed hierarchical system for both silver (Chandi) and gold (Sun):
- 100 Lal = 1 Tola — the base relationship every jeweller uses
- 16 Aana = 1 Tola
- 1 Aana = 6.25 Lal
- 1 Tola = 11.6638 Grams — the metric equivalent
These standards are set by FENEGOSIDA (Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association) and verified by the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology (NBSM). The same system applies to all precious metals traded in Nepal's bullion and jewellery market.

10 Tola 999 = 116.64g pure silver
92.5% Pure Silver
The international jewellery standard. Mixed with 7.5% copper for structural strength in rings, chains, bracelets, and fine ornaments.
10 Tola 925 = 107.89g pure silver
80.0% Pure Silver
Commonly used in Nepal for traditional heavy utensils, puja items, anklets (Payal), and decorative silver items requiring high rigidity.
10 Tola 800 = 93.31g pure silver

Calculating Silver Market Value & Budget
Silver value in Nepal is calculated by taking the weight in Tolas and multiplying by today's FENEGOSIDA silver rate per Tola:

Why Accurate Silver Calculations Matter
Accurate silver weight calculations are critical for buyers, jewellers, and investors across Nepal. Unlike general household goods, precious metal trades are calculated down to the decimal point in Lal and Grams. A small rounding discrepancy when converting 1 Kilogram of silver can result in a loss of multiple Tolas. Relying on an automated converter verified against official FENEGOSIDA and NBSM standards eliminates manual conversion errors, protects transaction fairness, and guarantees transparency when purchasing bullion or custom silver jewellery.

Silver Bullion Buying Guide
Silver purity matters heavily when buying investment bars or jewellery. Nepal follows international silver purity standards:
- 999 Fine Silver: Contains 99.9% pure silver. This is best for bullion investment, silver bars, and collectible coins. It is very soft and generally not used for daily-wear jewellery.
- 925 Sterling Silver: Contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (usually copper). It is the most common purity for high-quality silver jewellery because the added metal provides durability and prevents scratching.
- 800 Silver: Contains 80% silver. This is commonly used in Nepal for heavy traditional anklets, puja items, and decorative temple pieces.
When purchasing, always multiply the raw silver weight (in Tola or Grams) by the daily published silver price. Use the Silver Converter above to ensure you know the exact silver content of any item before calculating the making charges (Jarti) added by the jeweller.
