How pennyweight maps to grams
Pennyweight (dwt) is a troy-unit habit in some US markets. For pricing we convert to grams: 4 dwt ≈ 6.22 g of 10K, then apply the same per-gram rate as our gram pages.
How we calculate melt
In words: 4 dwt → grams (troy conversion) → 10K per-gram price → melt total. Buyers then apply their own % haircut.
