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.
Larger gram totals are typical of heavy chains, bangles, or bullion-style pieces. Verify purity stamps and separate karats before using one number for everything.
Heavier totals are typical of thick chains, bangles, or multiple items. Splitting by karat can materially change the payout.
