What Determines the Value of Gold?
The value of a gold item depends on several factors. Two pieces that look similar may contain different amounts or purities of gold, which can affect their value.
Purity
Gold purity is commonly identified by karat, including 10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K.
Weight
The amount of gold contained in an item is an important part of determining its value.
Current Gold Prices
Precious metal prices change over time, so current market conditions can influence the value of your gold.

Jewelry, coins, bullion, and other gold may be evaluated differently depending on their characteristics.
