Formula Used
The price of gold-filled jewelry is calculated using the following formula:
Price = (Weight × Purity Factor × Gold Price) + Labor Cost
Where:
- Weight - The total weight of the gold in the item (grams or ounces)
- Purity Factor - The percentage of pure gold in the item (e.g., 0.75 for 18K gold)
- Gold Price - The current price of gold per ounce or gram
- Labor Cost - The estimated cost of labor for creating the item
Note: The labor cost is an estimate and may vary based on the complexity of the item and local labor rates.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the price of a 10K gold-filled bracelet that weighs 5 grams with a current gold price of $1,800 per ounce.
- Convert the weight to ounces: 5 grams ≈ 0.176 ounces
- Determine the purity factor for 10K gold: 0.417 (10/24)
- Calculate the gold value: 0.176 oz × 0.417 × $1,800 = $12.60
- Add estimated labor cost: $12.60 + $20 = $32.60
The estimated price of the bracelet is $32.60.
| Karat | Purity Factor | Percentage of Pure Gold |
|---|---|---|
| 10K | 0.417 | 41.7% |
| 14K | 0.583 | 58.3% |
| 18K | 0.750 | 75.0% |
