How Gold Value Is Determined

How Gold Value Is Determined

The value of gold is based on several key factors:

  1. Gold Spot Price

  • The current market price of gold per ounce, which fluctuates daily based on supply, demand, and economic factors.

  • Prices are set in major financial markets and updated in real-time.

  1. Weight of Your Gold

  • Measured in grams, ounces, or pennyweights (1 pennyweight = 1.555 grams).

  • The higher the weight, the higher the value.

  1. Purity & Gold Content

  • The actual gold content in your item determines its worth.

  • Example: If a 10-gram piece is 18K gold, only 75% (or 7.5 grams) is pure gold.

  1. Condition & Form

  • Scrap gold is valued solely for its gold content.

  • Gold jewelry may carry added value based on brand, craftsmanship, or rarity.

  1. Market Demand

  • When demand for gold is high (economic uncertainty, inflation), prices tend to rise.

  • Supply constraints also influence gold’s price.
