How the 9k gold price is calculated
9 karat gold is 9/24 gold; the hallmark 375 means 375 parts per thousand, so we use a purity factor of 0.375 (37.5% gold). At the current pure gold price of £98.99 per gram, one gram of 9k gold contains £37.12 worth of gold. A 10 g item is worth about £371.22, and a troy ounce (31.10 g) of 9k metal about £1,155.

Why 9k is common in Britain
9k gold is hard wearing and affordable, which made it the everyday choice for British wedding bands, signet rings, lockets and chains for decades. Pieces made in the UK carry an assay office mark together with the 375 fineness mark, so they are easy to identify, and lots of inherited jewellery sold for scrap in the UK is 9k.
How to value 9k gold
Multiply the weight in grams by 0.375 and by the current pure gold price per gram. A 10 g 9k bracelet therefore contains 3.75 g of fine gold. Because more than 60% of the metal is alloy, 9k is worth well under half the value of the same weight of 24k, so check the stamp carefully before comparing offers.
Tips for selling 9k gold
Separate 9k from higher karats before weighing, remove stones and non-gold fittings, and note that rolled gold or gold-plated items are not 9k even if they look similar. High-street buyers often quote per gram for 9k; compare their figure with the melt value from the calculator to see what share of the gold value you are being offered.
