Frequently Asked Questions

How is gold purity measured?
Gold purity is measured in karats (K). 24K is 99.9% pure gold, 22K is 91.7%, 18K is 75%, and 14K is 58.3%. The higher the karat, the more pure gold the piece contains and the higher its melt value.
What is a troy ounce of gold?
A troy ounce is the standard unit for measuring precious metals. One troy ounce equals approximately 31.1035 grams, which is slightly heavier than a regular (avoirdupois) ounce of 28.35 grams.
How is the gold price per gram calculated?
The gold price per gram is calculated by dividing the current gold spot price per troy ounce by 31.1035 (grams per troy ounce), then multiplying by the purity percentage. For example, 18K gold is worth 75% of the pure gold price per gram.
Why does the gold price change throughout the day?
Gold is traded on global markets 24 hours a day. Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, currency movements, inflation expectations, geopolitical events, and central bank policies.
What is the difference between gold spot price and retail price?
The spot price is the current market price for raw gold. Retail prices for gold jewelry or coins include additional costs such as manufacturing, design, dealer margins, and taxes. The melt value calculated here is based on the spot price.
