This weight band is common for everyday jewelry lots. Separate by karat first, then compare offers as a % of melt.
Solder-heavy repairs (clasps, size adjustments) can skew purity reads; reputable buyers may assay or test multiple points.

At the live spot used on this site (USD), 23 g of 18K gold has a rough melt value of about $2,394.07. This is not a purchase offer—just an estimate from spot × weight × purity.
Weighing & sorting tips
- If your buyer tests only one spot, ask them to test a second point on repaired pieces (solder areas can read differently).
- If a shop quotes a number fast, ask what % of melt they’re paying—percent clarity beats guessing.
