Scrap Gold Prices Per Gram
Calculate the total melt value of scrap gold across karats.
A kitchen scale is not precise enough. A jeweller's pocket scale reading to 0.01 g costs about $15 and pays for itself on the first sale.
Check the clasp, the inside of the band or the back of a pendant for 10K, 14K, 585, 750 or 916. Unmarked pieces should be tested, not guessed.
Stones, spring bars, watch movements and steel pins all add weight and no value. Estimate them and enter the figure in the non-gold column.
Pawn counters price for instant liquidity and pay less than refiners with an assay furnace. Lot size affects it too. Ask each buyer their share of melt, then set the slider to match.
Before you sell
Weigh in grams to 0.1 g, sort by karat stamp, and subtract stones and clasps. Unmarked pieces should be acid- or XRF-tested rather than guessed.
