Valuing Your Gold Or Jewelry
The value for diamonds and other gemstones is primarily based on carat weight, but the color, cut, and clarity also play a role. Diamonds may be sold either set in a precious metal or loose. Gold purity is measured in karats. 24 karat is pure gold which makes it most valuable but because pure gold is extremely soft, it’s usually mixed with other metals to make it stronger which lowers the value.
Most gold pieces have markings indicating how many karats it is. If you can’t find a karat marking, the jewelry may be plated, but you can always test the purity of the gold using a gold test kit. Pawnshops use test kits to determine purity when a piece is unmarked. Gold is priced by the ounce based on purity, but the market value of gold can fluctuate rapidly.
