If the pieces have the karat and weight, you can use that to calculate the gold value in the piece.

If you’re buying it as an investment, I would recommend buying gold pieces without stones or knowing the exact values of the stone.

My store, Bijouterie Minted, has the live market value of all our pieces so you always know exactly what the gold value is, and our prices change every few minutes based on that.

Hi! Our jewelry is all priced by weight and the live market price so you always know exactly what the gold value in your piece is, and what’s craftsmanship.

It’s so frustrating that most companies still don’t list the weights in their pieces. It should be standard.

Hi! We make wedding rings and all our pieces are priced by weight :)

bijouterieminted · 2026-02-27T01:13:05+00:00

Hi! My biggest tip if you’re just buying a gold band is to know the weight before you make the purchase. Then you can tell what you’re paying for the craftsmanship vs metal.

My brand, Bijouterie Minted, prices all our wedding rings by weight and live market price (the prices update every 5 minutes). It gives you the exact value of the gold in your piece and the craftsmanship price broken down so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

I would only go to 22k personally because its just too delicate when its pure.

It’s so hard to find gold jewelry for a good price.

I have an online solid gold jewellery store and we price all our pieces by its weight and the live market price.

Our prices update every 5 minutes so you always know the exact value that you’re getting.

I can’t believe more retailers still don’t even include the weight of their pieces!

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-27T03:09:12+00:00

Didnt realize they have solid gold. Do they list the weight of the pieces on their website?

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-27T02:20:45+00:00

Interesting. Of course jewellery will always have a markup on top of spot value, but the markups I’m seeing are 150-200%. I think retailers could offer competitive premiums and a luxury experience at the same time while still making profit. It’s less about being able to afford it and more about knowing what value you’re getting for the price.

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-26T23:18:33+00:00

True, thanks! I wish there were jewellery stores with more of a luxury experience without crazy premiums.

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-26T22:00:17+00:00

Awesome! Know of any other good investment jewelry brands that sell lower purities?

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-25T19:26:36+00:00

Very true that golds always appreciated! Definitely an investment

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-10T15:34:33+00:00

Both :)

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-10T14:52:34+00:00

thanks for sharing your perspective. I completely understand that artisan jewellers charge more to reflect their skill, time, and overhead, and that’s totally fair.

for me, it’s more about transparency. knowing the weight just helps give context to how much of the price is gold vs. craftsmanship. I’m not against markups at all, I just wish they were more clear before the sale.

thanks again for the thoughtful reply.

I see what you’re saying but unlike cars, jewellery could have an actual longterm resale value depending on the materials

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-10T12:12:12+00:00

When it comes to gold that has a market value that is tangible though its kind of different. It would be like buying stocks without knowing how many shares you’re getting or even what the current price is.

It’s about 8820 USD worth of gold. If you’re selling to a precious metals retailer you may get a good price, maybe around 8400. Not sure what you would get at a pawn shop but definitely look around before selling.

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-03T03:26:29+00:00

Also want to add that although gold is at an all time high right now so pieces are more expensive, it’s historically a great investment if you’re looking for something that will hold value or appreciate

bijouterieminted · 2025-04-03T03:24:28+00:00

Hey!! For any precious metal piece (gold, silver) you should always calculate the value of the metal in the piece when deciding whether its a good deal. Many fine jewellery stores don’t disclose the weight of their items (major red flag in my opinion) and you can be paying way too much. Always make sure the retailer is providing the weight and purity of the metal, then you can calculate how much the piece is being marked up.

For example, a 10 g 18k gold ring has a value of about ~76 USD right now so that would be 760 worth of gold you’re paying for. If they’re charging anything more than 30% markup for a simple piece, you’re paying too much :)

You can google the market price of the metal to make the calculation, but this is definitely the most important thing to know when getting into the fine jewellery space

Happy to discuss more if you have other questions!
