How is the Purity of Gold Measured?

Karat Grade

For gold, karat grade is used to express the proportion of gold in an alloy. Fine gold (99.9% pure) is 24 karat. The proportions in other karats are listed in the table below.

All jewelry is required by law to be hallmarked. Jewelry made in North America is marked with the karat grade (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K), and jewelry made in Italy is marked with a hallmark such as (417, 583, 750, 917, 999). So if your jewelry does not have a karat grade stamped on it, check for a 3-digit hallmark.

The higher the purity of Gold, the greater its karat value will be. When you come in for an appraisal, we will carefully examine the gold pieces that you bring in on individual basis to ensure a thorough analysis.

We have a qualified staff of gemologists and appraisers who will be responsible for the care and evaluation of all of your pieces. With over 45 years of experience, our well trained staff will conduct a test on each piece with the best equipment available, ensuring that you get the absolute highest price for your gold. All tests performed will be done in your presence. Once the evaluation process has concluded and the current market value is known, we will begin with the payout process. This will be based on the weight and purity determined, and you are paid based on the actual gold market value of the day.
