About 21k gold
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold by weight. Pure gold is soft, so jewellers alloy it with harder metals: 21k balances gold content with durability. Its melt value is always a fixed fraction (0.875) of the pure-gold price — derived from spot ÷ 31.1034768 grams per troy ounce.
When buying or selling 21k gold, weigh the item, multiply by the per-gram figure for your currency above, and expect dealer premiums (buying) or margins below melt (selling scrap).
Frequently asked questions
What does 21k gold mean?
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold by weight — 24 karats is pure gold, so 21k means 21 parts gold out of 24, alloyed with harder metals. The remainder (12.5%) is typically copper, silver or zinc.
How much is 21k gold worth in US dollars?
21k gold is currently $124.31 per gram ($3,867 per ounce) as of 17:30 UTC.
Why is 21k cheaper than 24k per gram?
Because only 87.5% of its weight is actual gold. A gram of 21k contains 0.8750 grams of pure gold, so its melt value is that fraction of the pure-gold price.
Is 21k good for jewellery or investment?
21k is a jewellery karat: the alloy makes it harder and more durable, while still holding solid metal value. For pure investment, 24k bullion tracks spot most directly.
