About 22k gold
22K gold is 91.67% pure gold by weight. Pure gold is soft, so jewellers alloy it with harder metals: 22k balances gold content with durability. Its melt value is always a fixed fraction (0.9167) of the pure-gold price — derived from spot ÷ 31.1034768 grams per troy ounce.
When buying or selling 22k 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).
