Mid-range weights often come from multiple pieces sold together—separate karats first to avoid blended offers.

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 your pieces are mixed-karat, weigh each karat separately; otherwise a blended estimate can mislead you.
