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.

Pawn shops often pay roughly 50–70% of melt — about $131.97–$184.76 for this dwt (illustrative).
Very small dwt totals are common for single earrings, broken clasps, or tiny lots—scale accuracy matters more than spot noise here.
Quick checks (dwt sellers)
- Because 1 dwt is only ~1.56 g, a small reading error can swing the estimate; use a stable surface and a fine scale.
- If the buyer quotes per dwt, you can cross-check in grams: multiply dwt by ~1.56 g/dwt, then apply the per-gram rate.

How pennyweight maps to grams
Pennyweight (dwt) is a troy-unit habit in some US markets. For pricing we convert to grams: 2 dwt ≈ 3.11 g of 14K, then apply the same per-gram rate as our gram pages.
How we calculate melt
In words: 2 dwt → grams (troy conversion) → 14K per-gram price → melt total. Buyers then apply their own % haircut.
