The price of gold changes daily. For an accurate valuation, what matters is converting your piece into its gold content: actual carat purity + net valuable grams
Carats indicate the proportion of gold in an alloy. The higher the carat, the greater the purity. In jewellery you’ll commonly find 18k, 14k or 9k.
At first glance, two pieces of gold can look almost identical: the same colour, a similar size and even a very similar design. Yet their value can be very different. This happens because the price of gold doesn’t depend solely on how a piece looks, but on several technical and market factors that have a direct impact on its valuation.
If you want to know the true value of a piece of gold, the fairest and most reliable method is to carry out a technical verification and explain every step of the process to you. This means precisely checking the carat (the purity of the gold) and the net weight — that is, the exact amount of pure gold the piece contains, after deducting other metals, stones or worthless components.
