9ct Gold Price Per Gram UK (Live Today)

9ct Gold Price per Gram UK Today

See today's indicative 9ct gold price per gram in the UK, expressed in pounds sterling. The rate below estimates the metal value of 9 carat gold (9k or 375 gold), which contains 37.5% pure gold.

Use the 9ct gold calculator for your item's weight, or check the 1g, 5g, 10g and 20g examples. The displayed rate is based on gold-market and currency data. It is not a guaranteed scrap-gold buying offer; payment depends on the assessed weight, purity and applicable buying rate.

9ct Gold Price Estimate Calculator

To begin, enter the weight in grams. 9ct is already selected; check the purity before calculating. Our 9ct gold price calculator uses your selected purity and entered weight to provide an indicative value. Also, check the update time displayed with the prices, because market rates can change before your valuation.

You can review our offer before deciding whether to sell. Alternatively, contact our team if you are unsure about the weight or purity of your items. A calculator cannot identify the metal for you.

What Do 9ct, 9k and 375 Mean?

9ct and 9k describe the same purity: nine parts gold out of 24, or 37.5%. Similarly, the fineness number 375 means 375 parts gold per thousand. The remaining 62.5% consists of other metals.

For example, a 10g item made entirely of 9ct gold alloy contains 3.75g of pure gold. However, if the 10g includes stones or non-gold fittings, you cannot apply that calculation to the entire weight.

First, look for marks inside a ring, near a clasp or on the back of a pendant. A readable mark is a useful clue, but testing confirms the gold content. For more information, read our guide to gold hallmarks.

How to Use the 9ct Gold Price Calculator

Our 9 carat gold price calculator works from the information you enter. Therefore, check your figures carefully before applying the 9ct gold price, rather than selecting a purity by appearance alone.

1. List your items. Note the rings, chains, earrings or other pieces you want to value.
2. Check the markings. Look for 9ct, 9k or 375, and ask for help if a mark is unclear.
3. Enter the weight in grams. Keep pieces with different purities separate.
4. Select 9ct and calculate. Review the estimate, then record the date and details used.

For example, calculate a 9ct bracelet separately from an 18ct ring. Otherwise, using one purity for both pieces could overstate or understate their estimated value.

How to Calculate the Value per Gram

Multiply the eligible weight of the 9ct alloy by the quoted 9ct gold price per gram:

Estimated value = eligible 9ct alloy weight in grams × 9ct rate per gram

Because a 9ct rate already accounts for purity, do not multiply the result by 37.5% again. Otherwise, you would apply the same adjustment twice and underestimate the value.

How much are 1g, 5g, 10g and 20g of 9ct gold worth?

These examples use the same indicative 9ct rate shown above: £35.60 per gram. They estimate metal value, not a guaranteed buying offer. Exclude stones and non-gold parts from the weight.

Why Your Final Offer May Differ

The calculator cannot inspect your jewellery or establish its eligible metal weight remotely. Instead, your confirmed valuation follows an assessment of the items themselves. Differences in weight, purity or the applicable rate can change the offer.

Stones, Clasps and Other Components

For example, stones and non-gold fittings can add to a ring's or necklace's total weight. However, those components should not be valued at the 9ct gold price per gram. Ask which weight is included in your valuation and how it compares with your measurement at home.

Similarly, a replacement clasp or attached charm may have a different purity from the rest of a piece. Therefore, mention any separate markings when describing your items. Avoid dismantling jewellery simply to obtain a weight.

Market Value and the Buying Rate

When comparing the 9ct gold price in the UK, remember that a market benchmark and a buyer's payable rate are not necessarily the same figure. Before comparing offers, check what each quoted rate represents and whether any charges apply. Then, compare the final amount you would receive for the same assessed weight and purity.

Also, record the date of your estimate. If pricing changes before your items are valued, the same weight and purity can produce a different result.

How We Assess Gold Purity

First, we assess your items' weight and gold content to establish whether the 9ct gold price applies before making an offer. Our gold testing service uses X-ray fluorescence, or XRF, to help identify the metals present in an alloy.

However, an assessment requires interpretation of the item and its test results. If the findings differ from your expectations, ask us to explain them before accepting an offer. You can also ask what testing involves if preserving the item's appearance is particularly important to you.

Can You Sell Broken 9ct Gold?

Yes. A snapped chain, damaged bracelet or single earring can still contain valuable gold. For a valuation using the 9ct gold price, the assessed weight and confirmed purity matter more than whether the piece remains wearable.

For example, you can enquire about gold rings, single gold earrings or broken and scrap gold. However, antique, designer or collectable pieces may have value beyond their metal content, so consider a specialist jewellery valuation where appropriate.

Comparing 9ct Gold Prices Before Selling

Start with the rate, but also review the full service. A clear offer should help you understand the amount payable and what happens next.

• Which weight and purity does the offer use?
• Are any fees or deductions applied?
• How long is the offer available?
• When is payment arranged after acceptance?
• What insurance and return arrangements apply?

If you have mixed jewellery, you can also check our 14ct price page and 18ct price calculator. Keep each purity's estimate separate so that your comparison remains meaningful.
