Earring weights are given as a pair. Simple studs weigh 0.5–2g per pair; medium hoops 2–4g; large statement earrings up to 6g+.
Earring pairs are weighed together; posts and backs may differ in fineness from the front—split if your buyer tests by part.
For a typical weight in the common range, ~1 g of 24K gold might melt around £103.73 at current spot in pounds—highly variable by actual weight and condition.
Common variations that change weight
- Length and link style drive chain weight; the same style can vary by size class.
- Clasps and tags may be different fineness or steel—buyers may test or deduct them.
24K pure gold in the UK is mainly bars and coins; wearable 24K is uncommon because of softness—melt math still uses the same spot basis.
