Grams are a unit of mass commonly used in weighing precious metals such as gold, platinum and silver. Most consumers are familiar with the term grams as it applies to food weighed on a food scale, but jewelry grams are different: There are 31.1 grams to a troy ounce of precious metal; but there are 28 grams to an ounce of food. GoldFellow typically prices scrap gold using the pennyweight unit of measurement as it is less confusing for consumers.
To determine the gram weight of your gold, use a jewelry scale set to grams. If using a food or postal scale, GoldFellow® suggests weighing your jewelry in ounces. From ounces, it is easy to convert to “troy” grams. Simply multiply the number of ounces the jewelry weighs x 31.1 to calculate how many jewelry grams you have. For example, if all your 14K gold weighs 3 ounces on a food scale, 3 x 31.1 = 93.3 grams of 14K gold.
