How to use the calculator (in 60 seconds)

1. Pick your currency.
   From the dropdown, choose USD, GBP, EUR, PKR, AED, SAR, or INR. The calculator pulls live Gold Prices 14K for your currency using our proxy (more on that below), so you always see Gold Prices 14K expressed in the money you actually use.
2. Enter weight and unit.
   We accept grams, troy ounces, tola, and pennyweight (dwt). The tool converts units instantly so Gold Prices apply correctly to your item’s weight.
3. Choose your karat.
   Select 14K (or 8K–24K). For Gold Prices 14K, the calculator uses the 14/24 purity ratio (≈ 58.3% gold content) that jewelers and refiners use. That 58.3% figure is the standard definition of 14K gold.
4. Set the buyer payout slider.
   Payout is the % of intrinsic value a buyer offers (typical ranges are ~60–90% depending on market and quantity). Slide it to see what Gold Prices mean as an actual offer.
5. Read your result.
   You’ll see two lines:

• Intrinsic value: the melt value based on Gold Prices 14K and your weight/purity.
• Estimated payout: that intrinsic value times your selected payout %.

That’s it. The goal is to make Gold Prices 14K not just a headline number, but a number you can use to make a decision today.

Quick examples (so Gold Prices 14K feel real)

• 14K ring, 10 g, 70% payout
  If Gold Prices 14K per gram are showing 70 USD, intrinsic is ~700 USD. At 70% payout, you’d see ~490 USD.
• 14K chain, 30 g, 80% payout
  With Gold Prices 14K at the same 70 USD per gram, intrinsic is ~2,100 USD; at 80% payout you’d see ~1,680 USD.
• 14K dental gold, 5 dwt (≈ 7.78 g)
  The calculator converts dwt to grams automatically, applies Gold Prices 14K, and returns intrinsic + payout without you doing any math.

These are examples only; your results update live as Gold Prices change.

How to read the mini-charts

Right under the table you’ll see three sparkline-style charts for Gold Prices trends:

• 7-day: useful for intrawEEK swings; handy if you plan to sell this week.
• 30-day: smooths noise; good for timing a sale when Gold Prices drift higher.
• 1-year: shows the big picture so you can judge whether today’s Gold Prices are elevated or discounted vs. the past year.

Each chart shows the most recent Gold Prices close and an “Updated (US)” timestamp in your chosen time zone, so you know exactly when the data last refreshed.

Our methodology (how we turn spot gold into Gold Prices 14K)

We keep the math transparent and the tech simple:

1. Start with spot gold (XAU) in your chosen currency. Spot is typically quoted per troy ounce. We convert to grams using 31.1035 g per troy ounce, the standard jewelers use when transforming spot to per-gram pricing.
2. Convert to 24K per gram.
   Spot ÷ 31.1035 = price per gram of pure gold (24K). This is the baseline before karat purity is applied. (You’ll see the same approach explained on popular calculators and guides.)
3. Apply purity for 14K.
   Gold Prices 14K = (24K price per gram) × (14 ÷ 24) ≈ × 0.583. That 14/24 factor is the core of karat math and is widely referenced by calculator sites and jewelers.
4. Offer a payout view.
   Buyers pay a percentage of the intrinsic value to cover refining, overhead, and risk. Our slider lets you see Gold Prices 14K as both intrinsic value and a realistic take-home estimate (you’ll find similar payout concepts on refiner and buyer sites).
5. Cache and refresh.
   To keep the site fast, our API responses are cached for a few minutes. That’s why Gold Prices 14K remain snappy on mobile without hammering the upstream feed.

The result: clear, repeatable Gold Prices 14K you can check any time, with charts that match the same logic (7-day, 30-day, 1-year series are built from the daily 24K→14K conversion).

Why we show multiple units for Gold Prices 14K

People weigh jewelry in all sorts of ways. A buyer might quote Gold Prices 14K in grams, a pawnbroker might prefer dwt (pennyweight), and some regions still use tola. Our calculator supports grams, troy ounces, tola, and dwt so Gold Prices 14K feel consistent no matter who you talk to. No more mental conversion errors, type your weight the way your scale shows it, choose 14K, and the tool applies Gold Prices 14K correctly.

Practical tips when using Gold Prices 14K

• Weigh only the gold. Remove stones/pendants if you want a “just gold” number; Gold Prices 14K are for the metal portion only.
• Confirm karat stamps. Look for 14K, 585, or 583 marks. Those all represent 14K purity used in Gold Prices 14K calculations.
• Expect a spread. Jewelers and refiners won’t pay 100% of intrinsic value; that’s why we include payout %. Comparing offers is easier when both parties reference the same Gold Prices 14K math.
• Volume matters. Some buyers pay higher percentages on larger lots; the calculator helps you see how higher payouts change what Gold Prices 14K mean in your pocket.
• Time your sale. Use the 7-day/30-day charts to watch momentum. If Gold Prices 14K are trending up and you can wait, waiting may help; if trending down, you’ll at least sell with eyes open.

A (very) short history of gold

From the moment people learned to shape metal, gold held a special place. Archaeologists have found worked pieces in prehistoric graves around the Black Sea and in ancient Egypt, where it symbolized the eternal and adorned royalty. By around the 7th–6th century BCE, the Lydians began striking the first recognizable coins from electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver.

Within a few centuries, Greek city-states and Rome standardized gold and silver coinage and built long-distance trade around it. In medieval and early modern eras, gold moved along caravan routes and sea lanes, funding empires and exploration. Spanish shipments from the Americas transformed European money supplies, and mint marks, fineness stamps, and guild systems evolved to protect buyers and sellers from debasement.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many nations adopted versions of the gold standard—tying their currencies to fixed quantities of metal. That tether helped stabilize exchange rates but often transmitted recessions as governments defended convertibility. The 20th century remade the system: the Bretton Woods agreement pegged the U.S. dollar to gold and other currencies to the dollar, until the early 1970s, when convertibility ended and major currencies floated. From that point, gold traded freely, reflecting investor sentiment, central-bank policies, and global risk.

Today, gold plays multiple roles at once: adornment, reserve asset, and industrial material. Jewelers alloy it for strength and color; central banks hold it as part of their reserves; investors buy bars, coins, and ETF shares; manufacturers use trace amounts in electronics and specialized applications. Across thousands of years, its appeal hasn’t been just scarcity—it’s durability, malleability, and a cultural story that consistently links the metal to safety, status, and long-term value. Even as technologies and markets change, that blend of practical and symbolic uses keeps the yellow metal relevant in everyday life and in the broader financial system.

Karats explained: purity, stamps, and real-world use

“Karat” measures gold purity on a 24-part scale. Twenty-four karat is essentially pure; 22k is about 91.7% gold; 18k is 75%; 14k is roughly 58.3%; and 10k is 41.7%. It’s easy to confuse karats (purity) with carats (gem weight), but they’re unrelated. Around the world you’ll see fineness stamps instead of karats: 999 (≈24k), 916 (≈22k), 750 (≈18k), 585/583 (≈14k), and 417 (≈10k). Hallmarking laws vary by country, so many pieces also include a maker’s mark or assay stamp that certifies the rating. When evaluating an item, professionals verify beyond the stamp using acid tests, electronic meters, or non-destructive X-ray fluorescence to confirm the alloy’s composition.

Purity changes how jewelry behaves. Higher karat pieces have a richer color and excellent corrosion resistance but are softer and more prone to scratching. Lower karat alloys are springier and more durable for daily wear, which is why many rings and chains are made below 18k. Color comes from the mix: copper pushes the alloy toward rose tones; silver and a bit of zinc brighten yellow; nickel or palladium help create white gold (often rhodium-plated for a crisp, mirror finish). Designers choose different mixes for workability, color, and hardness, balancing aesthetics with practical needs like clasp strength and prong security.

For buyers and sellers, understanding karats prevents costly mistakes. Always check markings, but don’t rely on them alone—repairs and solders can introduce segments with different purity, hollow chains can alter apparent weight, and stones add mass that isn’t precious metal. If a piece contains multiple components (for example, a two-tone bracelet or a clasp of different fineness), professionals typically weigh and test them separately. Regional preferences matter too: 22k dominates many South Asian markets, while 10k and 14k are common for everyday wear in North America. Knowing how purity, stamps, and local norms interact will help you compare items fairly, talk clearly with jewelers, and make informed decisions when buying, selling, or simply maintaining your collection.
