Start from an example

20 g of 916 (22K): 18.32 g of pure gold

What the gold in it is worth
PricedThe gold in it
At UOB’s buying price$2,929.55
At UOB’s selling price$2,979.56
At Mustafa’s 22K-916 rate$3,132.00

Each $1 a gram on the price of pure gold is $18.32 on it. This is the gold in it, not what a shop pays: a shop buying it sets its own price, and a new piece costs more: 9% GST on jewellery, and any workmanship charge.

Our estimate: the weight × its purity × UOB’s Gold Savings Account price a gram, taken as pure gold. UOB calls its prices indicative only. How we work it out
