To figure out the value of a gold ring, you simply perform a mathematical equation based on the following:

  • How many karats gold is in the ring? The highest is 24 karat.
  • What does the ring weigh?
  • What is the current price of gold per ounce?

Take the karat amount stamped on the ring and divide it by 24. In other words, a 14 karat gold ring would be 14/24. Multiply that by the weight of the ring in ounces. Take the final product and multiply that by the current price of gold. That will give you the value.

Precious metals like gold are measured in troy ounces. It's a bit different than regular ounces. 1 troy oz = 1.097 oz. or 1 oz = .911 troy oz.

If you weigh your gold in ounces multiply that number by .911 to get the troy oz. Then multiply that number by the Karat/24 number. Then multiply that by the current rate of gold per oz.
