Valuing gold is more than just weighing a necklace. It involves three critical factors that determine the final cash offer you receive.
The "Spot Price" is the constantly changing market rate for 100% pure gold. It's the same globally but quoted in US Dollars per Troy Ounce. Our calculator pulls this live baseline instanty.
Jewelry is rarely 100% gold because it's too soft. It's mixed with harder metals (alloys). "Karat" measures this ratio:
Gold is dense. A small ring can pack significant value. Note that gold is traditionally weighed in Troy Ounces (31.1g), not standard kitchen ounces (28.3g). Always check your unit of measurement!
Gold isn't just a metal; it's a currency. Its value seesaws based on:
Uncertainty drives investors to safety, boosting gold.
Higher rates can sometimes lower gold prices as bonds become attractive.
Mining constraints or high jewelry demand (e.g., wedding seasons) raise prices.
A weak dollar makes gold cheaper for foreign buyers, pushing demand up.

| Wedding Band | 5 grams, 18K | 5g × 75.0% purity = 3.75g pure gold |
| Gold Coin | 1 Troy Oz, 24K | 31.1g × 99.9% purity = 31.1g pure gold |
