Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 gram of 24K gold today?
The pure-gold content of 1 gram of 24K alloy is worth about $133.93 (99.99% of the per-gram market price). Retail sells above this value; buy-back pays below it.
Why do pawnshops pay less?
Buy-back values only the pure gold (100.0% of the item's weight) minus a refining/risk discount. Craftsmanship, brand and stones do not count in scrap pricing.
How does 999,9 fineness map to karats?
999,9 fine equals 24K: one karat is a 1/24 share of gold, so karats = fineness × 24 ÷ 1000.
