How do you price a gold chain?
Grams
- To get the gram price, divide $400 by 31. (1 troy ounce equals approximately 31 gm).
- Thus, $400/31 = approximately $13 per gm.
- To get the pure gold price for the item, multiply 3 gm times $13.
- Thus, 3 x $13 = $39.
- To get the 14K gold price for the item multiply $39 by 0.6.
- Thus, $39 x 0.6 = $23.40.
