Calculate gold value and assess deals
Max you should bid — auto-filled from the value calculator below.
The melt value is what the gold is worth as raw metal at current spot prices. Dealers typically buy at 15–30% below melt value to cover handling, profit, and resale costs.
Setting a 15% margin means you'll bid no more than 85% of melt value — leaving room for a fair resale return. Adjust the margin up for items you're happy to hold long-term, or down if you need quick liquidity.
Estimate the value of your gold based on weight and carat using current market prices.
Evaluate if a gold sale deal is fair based on current market prices.
Note: Gold value assessments are based on the current price of gold assuming the full weight of the jewelry you are assessing is made of gold. Gems, diamonds or other materials add value but are not included in this assessment.
