21K Gold Price History
About 21K Gold
21 karat gold is 21 parts gold to 3 parts alloy, a purity of 87.5%. It is common in Gulf states and parts of the Middle East, where high-purity jewellery is often bought for both wear and retained gold value.
You will usually see it stamped 21K, 21KT or 875. The 875 hallmark means exactly 87.5% gold, so the stamp and nominal karat agree precisely.
Its melt value per gram sits between 18K and 22K. The remaining alloy adds strength while preserving the deep yellow colour associated with high-purity gold.
Price per gram is calculated from the pure gold spot price and gold purity. How prices are calculated

Almost never in full. Refiners, jewellers and pawn shops deduct a margin for refining, assay and profit, and the deduction varies between buyers. We publish no figures for specific buyer types because we have not surveyed them. Use the payout slider to model a buyer's quoted percentage.
