How is the gold price calculated?

We start from the official London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) reference, fixed twice a day in London and quoted in dollars per troy ounce. We convert it to euros at the live EUR/USD rate and divide by the 31.1035 grams in a troy ounce to get the price per gram. We apply the same official reference to every metal — gold, silver, platinum and palladium — with no hidden margins.

What makes the gold price go up or down?

• The dollar: gold is quoted in dollars, so when the dollar weakens against the euro, gold tends to rise.
• Interest rates: when rates are high, gold (which pays no interest) is less attractive; when they are low, it gains.
• Inflation: gold is used as a hedge against the loss of value of money.
• Economic and geopolitical uncertainty: in times of crisis, demand for gold as a safe-haven asset rises.
• Supply and demand: jewellery and industrial activity also influence the price.

Because these factors change daily, the price of your gold today may not be the same tomorrow.

How much is a gram of gold worth today?

The price of a gram of pure (24k) gold comes from the official LBMA quote divided by the 31.1035 grams in a troy ounce, converted to euros at the live EUR/USD rate.

How much is a gram of 18k, 14k or 9k gold worth?

24k gold is pure gold (999/1000). Other karats are worth a fraction in proportion to their purity: 18k equals 75% (750/1000), 14k 58.5% (585/1000) and 9k 37.5% (375/1000) of the pure-gold price. So if a gram of 24k gold is X €, 18k is worth 0.75 × X, 14k 0.585 × X and 9k 0.375 × X.

Why does the gold price change every day?

Gold trades on global financial markets and its price moves daily with the dollar, interest rates, inflation and safe-haven demand. That is why, when you receive an offer for your items, it is locked for 24 hours at the price at that moment.

Is the reference price what you will pay for my gold?

The price you see is the official reference quote for the metal. Your items are valued with an XRF laboratory appraisal that measures the exact weight and real purity of each piece, applied to the price on the valuation day, with no hidden margins. You will receive a detailed breakdown and, if you do not accept the offer, we return your items free of charge.
