This weight band is common for everyday jewellery lots. Separate by karat first, then compare offers as a % of melt in pounds.

Separate 9K (375) from 18K (750) before accepting one blended figure; mixed-karat lots often get conservative offers.

22K (916) is less common on UK high streets than 9K or 18K but appears on some Asian and investment-style jewellery.

Weighing & sorting tips (UK)

  • If your pieces are mixed fineness, weigh each stamp separately—375, 585, and 750 should not share one total.
