About 24k gold
24K gold is 99.9% pure gold by weight. Pure gold is soft, so jewellers alloy it with harder metals: 24k balances gold content with durability. Its melt value is always a fixed fraction (0.999) of the pure-gold price — derived from spot ÷ 31.1034768 grams per troy ounce.
When buying or selling 24k 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 24k gold mean?
24K gold is 99.9% pure gold by weight — 24 karats is pure gold, so 24k means 24 parts gold out of 24, alloyed with harder metals. The remainder (0.1%) is typically copper, silver or zinc.
How much is 24k gold worth in US dollars?
24k gold is currently $147.29 per gram ($4,581 per ounce) as of 09:59 UTC.
Why is 24k cheaper than 24k per gram?
Because only 99.9% of its weight is actual gold. A gram of 24k contains 0.9990 grams of pure gold, so its melt value is that fraction of the pure-gold price.
Is 24k good for jewellery or investment?
24k (.999) is the investment standard — bullion coins and bars — but it is soft and scratches easily, so it is rarely used for everyday jewellery outside Asia and the Gulf.
