24K = 100% Pure Gold – The Spot Price Benchmark
24K gold is pure gold with no alloy. The 24k gold price per gram is the benchmark for the gold spot price; all other karats (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K) are derived from it. Formula: weight (g) × 24K price per gram = melt value. Example: 31.1 grams (1 troy oz) × $142.30 ≈ $4426.
24K is too soft for most rings—use it for bars, coins, or occasional-wear traditional jewelry. For wearable pieces, see 14K and 18K gold prices.

How to Identify 24K Gold
Hallmarks: Look for stamps such as 24K, 999, 999.9, or "pure". 999 means 99.9% pure gold. Bars and coins are often stamped with purity and weight.
XRF scan: Many jewelry stores and coin dealers offer X-ray fluorescence testing. It is non-destructive and can confirm 24K purity instantly.
Magnet test: Gold is not magnetic. Real 24K gold will not stick to a magnet. Pure gold is also very soft—it can be scratched or bent more easily than 14K or 18K.
