Overview

First, here's a quick overview of the steps you need to take.

Look up the current gold price (per ounce) ^(?)
Divide by 31 ^(?)
Multiply by your Gold Quality Multiple ^(?)
Multiply by the weight of your jewelry (in grams) ^(?)

4 Easy Steps

1. Gold Price

The gold price listed below is in ounces.

2. Convert to Grams

Divide the gold price by 31 to convert to grams. ^(?)

3. Gold Quality

Find the stamp on your jewelry. Next, find the percentage of actual gold in your metal using this table. ^(?)

Stamp	Purity	Multiple
10kt	41.6 % pure gold	0.416
14kt	58.5 % pure gold	0.585
18kt	75.0 % pure gold	0.750
22kt	91.6 % pure gold	0.916

Multiply your number by the number on the right of the table. For example, if your jewelry is 14kt, then mutliply your number by 0.585. ^(?)

4. Weigh Your Jewelry

Use a baking scale, and set it to grams. Subtract 1/2 gram from the weight ^(?). Multiply your jewelry's weight by the number you already have, and that's what your gold is worth!

An Example:

Say gold is $900/ounce, your jewelry weighs 4 grams, and it's stamped 14kt

In words:

$900 (gold per ounce) divided by 31 (grams in an ounce ^(?)) multiplied by 0.585 (14kt ^(?)) multiplied by 4 grams, less 0.5 grams (for your stones' weight ^(?))

In numbers:

900 / 31 x 0.585 x 4 = $61.14
