How much your 14K or 18K gold is worth depends on purity, weight, and the gold price today. 14K means 14 parts gold out of 24, about 58.3 percent pure. 18K means 18 parts out of 24, or 75 percent pure. 10K is about 41.7 percent. 22K is about 91.7 percent. 24K is about 99.9 percent.
A rough metal-content figure is the daily gold price per gram, times the purity fraction, times the grams. A shop offer is lower than that raw figure because refining and operating costs are real. Publishing a dollar-per-gram rate on a website would be wrong as soon as the market moves, so we quote at the counter.
Weight and karat both matter. A heavy 10K chain can beat a tiny 18K stud. Scratches and a broken clasp barely change scrap value. A missing stamp is fine. We test purity in front of you at Melrose Gold Buyers instead of guessing from color.
Bring the jewelry to 7257 Melrose Ave Suite A for a free appraisal. You will see the scale and hear how the live price, the karat, and the weight become the cash offer. You do not have to sell. Most visits take 5–10 minutes, and accepted offers are paid in cash the same day.
If you want to compare buyers, use the same gram weight and the same karat. That is the only way “who pays the most” is a fair question.
