How Much Is 180 Grams of 10K Gold Worth?
Estimates use the same USD spot basis as our calculators. Not financial advice, not a purchase offer, and not a guarantee of what any buyer will pay.
Larger gram totals are typical of heavy chains, bangles, or bullion-style pieces. Verify purity stamps and separate karats before using one number for everything.
If you’re offered a single blended rate for mixed-karat lots, ask for a breakdown by karat or walk and get a second quote.

Weighing & sorting tips
- For heavy pieces, weigh on a stable surface; kitchen scales can be fine for grams but confirm with a jeweler scale if the value is high.
- If your pieces are mixed-karat, weigh each karat separately; otherwise a blended estimate can mislead you.
