How Is the Value of Your Gold Calculated?

When you decide to sell old or unused gold, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: “How much is my gold worth?”

The value of gold is primarily determined by three important factors — weight, purity and the prevailing gold market rate.

1. Gold Purity

Gold jewellery is available in different purities, such as 24K, 22K and 18K. The purity indicates how much actual gold is present in the item.

For example, 24K represents very high-purity gold, while 22K and 18K jewellery contain gold mixed with other metals to provide additional strength and durability.

Before selling your gold, knowing its actual purity is important because the purity directly affects its valuation.

2. Weight of the Gold

The weight of your gold is another important factor in determining its value.

A professional weighing process helps establish the exact weight of the item. At Radhvica Gold, the weight can be displayed transparently during the evaluation process.

3. Current Gold Market Rate

Gold prices change according to market conditions. The applicable rate at the time of valuation therefore plays an important role in calculating the value of your gold.

Radhvica Gold provides a gold-rate section where customers can check indicative rates for different purities.

4. Transparent Evaluation

A trustworthy gold-buying process should make the calculation easy for the customer to understand.

At Radhvica Gold, the evaluation process includes purity testing, weight measurement and price calculation, with the steps carried out transparently.

Why Purity Testing Matters

Radhvica Gold uses XRF machine testing to analyse the metal composition of gold. The company describes this as a non-destructive process that can be performed in front of the customer.

This allows you to understand the purity of your gold before making a selling decision.
