The 14K gold price per gram shown here covers the gold content only. A gold buyer will pay you less than this, and a jewelry store will charge you more, because both add their own costs. Use it as your baseline 14K gold price today before you buy or sell, or enter your exact weight in the gold calculator.
14K Gold Price Per Gram by Weight
US gold buyers usually weigh jewelry in grams, though some pawn shops and refiners still quote in pennyweight (dwt). Here’s what common weights of 14K gold are worth at today’s price.
| Weight | In pennyweight | 14K melt value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | 0.64 dwt | $72.83 |
| 2 grams | 1.29 dwt | $145.67 |
| 3 grams | 1.93 dwt | $218.50 |
| 5 grams | 3.22 dwt | $364.16 |
| 7 grams | 4.50 dwt | $509.83 |
| 10 grams | 6.43 dwt | $728.33 |

As a rough guide, a wedding band weighs 3 to 7 grams, a chain necklace 5 to 30 grams, a class ring 10 to 20 grams, and a pair of small earrings 1 to 3 grams. For an exact figure, weigh your own piece. Our guide to weighing gold at home shows how, and the chain and ring price guides list typical weights by style.
Gold Price Per Gram by Karat
The 14K gold price per gram sits between 10K and 18K because each karat is priced on its gold content alone. Compare all five karats below.
Karat measures gold content in parts out of 24. More karats means more gold in every gram, and a higher price.
| Karat / stamp | Gold content | Per gram | Per pennyweight | Common use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10K / 417 | 41.7% | $52.02 | $80.90 | Budget and children's jewelry |
| 14K / 585 | 58.3% | $72.83 | $113.27 | Most US rings, chains, and everyday jewelry |
| 18K / 750 | 75.0% | $93.64 | $145.63 | Fine and European jewelry |
| 22K / 916 | 91.7% | $114.45 | $177.99 | South Asian jewelry, some coins |
| 24K / 999 | 99.9%+ | $124.86 | $194.17 | Bullion bars and coins |
14K is the most common karat in American jewelry because it balances gold content with everyday durability. Under the FTC’s Jewelry Guides, 10K is the lowest purity that can be sold as “gold” in the United States. To compare the two most popular choices, see 14K vs. 18K gold, and for white gold pricing, see the 14K white gold price per gram.
Each karat has its own live price page with value-by-weight tables: 10K gold price per gram, 18K gold price per gram, 22K gold price per gram and 24K gold price per gram. For every karat on one page, see the gold price per gram today. To convert karats, purity and stamps, use the karat calculator.
How the 14K Gold Price Per Gram Is Calculated
Every 14K gold price per gram starts with the spot price of pure gold, quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. Three steps turn it into a price per gram:
- Start with the spot price: $3,883.45 per troy ounce.
- Convert to grams: divide by 31.1035, the number of grams in a troy ounce. That gives $124.86 per gram of pure gold.
- Apply 14K purity: multiply by 14/24 (0.5833). That gives $72.83 per gram of 14K gold.
Formula: 14K price per gram = (spot price ÷ 31.1035) × 0.5833
To value a piece, multiply that result by its weight in grams, or enter the weight into the calculator above. The gold melt value calculator also handles scrap lots and mixed karats.
Spot Price vs. 14K Price
The spot price you see in the news is for one troy ounce of pure 24K gold. It isn’t the price of your jewelry. A 14K piece is only 58.33% gold, and it’s weighed in grams, so its value per gram is a fraction of the headline number. That’s why a spot price of $3,883.45 works out to $72.83 per gram for 14K.
Why You’ll See Both 58.3% and 58.5%
14 divided by 24 is 58.33%, and that’s the figure this site uses in every calculation. The “585” stamp on many 14K pieces is a rounded version of the same purity, meaning 585 parts gold per 1,000. The gap is about 0.3% of the value, which is why two calculators can show slightly different numbers for the same piece.
Troy Ounces, Pennyweight, and Grains
Gold is weighed in troy ounces, which are heavier than the ounces on a kitchen scale. A troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, while a regular (avoirdupois) ounce is 28.3495 grams. If you enter a kitchen-scale ounce reading as troy ounces, you’ll overstate your gold’s weight and value by about 10%. Weigh in grams whenever you can.
A pennyweight (dwt) is 1.55517 grams, and there are 20 in a troy ounce. 14K gold is worth $113.27 per pennyweight today. A grain is smaller still, with 480 grains in a troy ounce. Always confirm which unit a buyer is quoting before you compare offers.
What Buyers Actually Pay for 14K Gold
Buyers start from the 14K gold price per gram, today $72.83, and pay a percentage of it. The table shows what that means for each type of buyer.
No buyer pays full melt value. Each one deducts testing, refining, and business costs, and how much they deduct depends on the type of buyer. These are typical ranges, not guaranteed offers.
| Buyer type | Typical share of melt value | 14K per gram | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pawn shops | 40% to 65% | $29.13 to $47.34 | Fast cash, lowest payout |
| Jewelry stores buying scrap | 55% to 75% | $40.06 to $54.62 | Varies widely by store |
| Local gold buyers | 70% to 85% | $50.98 to $61.91 | Competition keeps rates higher |
| Mail-in refiners | 85% to 93% | $61.91 to $67.73 | Highest rates, 5 to 10 business days |
Three habits help you get a better price: know your melt value before you walk in, get at least three quotes in writing, and ask each buyer to weigh your gold in grams in front of you. Our guide on how to sell 14K gold for the best price covers the full process. For specific buyer types, see what pawn shops pay for 14K gold and the 14K scrap gold price per gram.
Check Your Gold Before You Sell
Karat Stamps
Look inside ring bands, on chain clasps, and on the backs of pendants. 14K gold is usually stamped 14K, 14KT, or 585. A 14KP stamp stands for “plumb,” meaning the gold content is at least a full 14 karats.
US law doesn’t require jewelry to carry a karat stamp. If a piece is stamped, though, federal rules require the mark to be accurate and to appear alongside the trademark of the company responsible for it. The law also allows a small tolerance, so a piece stamped 14K can test slightly below 14 karats. That’s one reason buyers test gold before paying. Our gold hallmark guide explains every common stamp.
Gold-Filled and Gold-Plated Jewelry
Stamps such as 14K GF, 1/20 14K, GP, HGE, and RGP mean a piece isn’t solid gold. Gold-filled jewelry has a layer of karat gold bonded to a base metal, and that layer usually makes up 1/20 of the total weight. It still holds some gold, just far less than solid 14K. Plated pieces hold much less again. See today’s value in our 14K gold-filled price per gram guide.
Diamonds and Other Gemstones
The prices on this page cover gold only. Subtract the weight of any stones before you calculate, and have a significant diamond or gemstone appraised separately. Scrap buyers often pay little or nothing for stones, and melting a piece destroys their value.

How do I calculate the value of my 14K gold?
Weigh the piece in grams, then multiply the weight by today’s 14K price per gram. For example, a 5-gram piece is worth $364.16 in melt value today. Subtract the weight of any stones first.
How much will a buyer pay for 14K gold?
Most buyers pay 40% to 93% of melt value, depending on the type of buyer. Pawn shops usually pay the least, and mail-in refiners the most. Get at least three written quotes before you sell.
Is 14K gold 58.3% or 58.5% gold?
14K gold is 14/24 gold, which is 58.33%. The 585 stamp rounds that to 58.5%. This site uses the exact 58.33% figure in every calculation.
What does a 585 stamp mean?
A 585 stamp means the piece is 14K gold, with 585 parts gold per 1,000. It’s common on European-made jewelry and on many US pieces.
Is 14K gold-filled jewelry worth anything?
Yes, but much less than solid gold. In 1/20 gold-filled jewelry, karat gold makes up about 5% of the weight, so a 10-gram 1/20 14K gold-filled piece holds about $36.42 worth of gold.
How much is a pennyweight of 14K gold worth?
A pennyweight (1.55517 grams) of 14K gold is worth $113.27 today.
