Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "gold spot price"?
Spot price is the current market price to trade one troy ounce of pure (24k) gold right now, set by global trading markets. It's the benchmark every karat price on this page is calculated from — a 14k price is simply spot price multiplied by 14/24 fineness.
Why does the gold price change during the day?
Gold trades nearly around the clock on weekdays across global markets, so the price moves continuously with supply, demand, currency shifts, and economic news — the same way a stock price moves. It's typically far quieter or closed on weekends.
Is the spot price what I'd actually pay or get paid?
No. Spot price is the raw wholesale benchmark. Retail buyers of coins or bars add a premium over spot to cover minting and dealer margin; scrap and jewelry buyers pay somewhat under spot-derived melt value to cover refining and their own margin. Spot price is the reference point both sides work from, not the transaction price itself.
Why is the price per gram different at each karat?
Lower karats contain less pure gold by weight — a 10k item is only 10/24 (about 41.7%) pure gold, with the rest made up of other metals in the alloy. The price-per-gram table above reflects that directly: each karat's price is simply the 24k price scaled down to its actual gold fraction.
