How Much Is My Gold Worth? A Simple UK Gold Price Guide
If you are asking “how much is my gold worth?”, you are not alone. Many people in the UK have old jewellery, broken chains, unwanted rings, scrap gold, coins, or even dental gold tucked away at home without knowing their true value.
What Determines How Much Your Gold Is Worth?
The value of your gold depends on four things:
- The weight of the item
- The purity of the gold
- The current gold market price
- The buyer’s payout rate
How to Tell What Carat Your Gold Is
Most gold jewellery in the UK contains a hallmark showing the purity.
| Gold Type | Stamp | Gold Content |
|---|---|---|
| 9ct | 375 | 37.5% |
| 14ct | 585 | 58.5% |
| 18ct | 750 | 75% |
| 22ct | 916 | 91.6% |
| 24ct | 999 | 99.9% |
