Most US engagement and wedding rings are 14K gold. The mount is 58.3% fine gold; the diamond is not. The live 14K gold price per gram on this page is the melt of the gold mount only. A solitaire that cost thousands at retail can have a small gold weight and a modest 14K gold melt value.
Weigh the ring, then do not treat the whole scale weight as 14K gold if a large center stone is present. Buyers often quote gold scrap and ignore or separately bid the diamond. If you want the stone’s value, get a jeweler appraisal. If you only want metal, enter the gold-only grams and read the 14K gold melt value per gram.
Search queries like “14K gold engagement ring worth” mix two markets. Retail replacement follows design and diamond quality. Scrap follows the 14K gold price per gram scrap. This calculator answers the second job.
585 is the millesimal twin of 14K: 585 parts gold per 1,000. European and some US pieces show 585 instead of 14K. Both use this page’s 14K gold price per gram. 14KT and 14Ct are the same karat.
14KP (plumb) is a US trade mark meaning the alloy is at least a full 14K, without the half-karat downward tolerance allowed on a plain “14K” stamp. For this calculator the difference is small: still use the 14K row. Do not switch to 18K because a band looks rich yellow.
14K gold-filled or 14K plated jewelry is not priced here. Those layers are too thin. Class rings, US chains, and wedding bands marked 14K or 585 are the typical scrap stream that matches this 14K gold price.
“14K gold price per gram at pawn shop” is a different number from the live 14K gold price per gram in the calculator. Pawn cash is usually a slice of melt, not melt itself.
Weigh the chain without clasps that are clearly base metal. Hollow rope chain is still 14K, but it weighs less than it looks. Enter actual grams, not a length guess. Compare the offer to the 14K gold melt value, not to what the mall charged per inch.
A 4–6 gram unmarked-looking band that stamps 14K or 585 is a clean melt job. Weight × 14K gold price per gram is the ceiling. A pawn counter quoting a round cash number should be divided by that melt to see the percentage.
Do not dump both karats into the 14K row. A 10K piece is 41.7% gold. Weigh 14K and 10K gold separately, or the 14K gold price per gram will overstate the lot.
Use the 14K calculator at the top to lock today’s 14K gold price per gram, then judge any pawn or online buyback as a percentage of that melt.
Pawn shops typically pay 50-70% of the melt value for 14K gold. Based on today's live price, you can expect approximately $41.24 to $57.73 per gram. For the best price, we recommend comparing offers from multiple gold buyers before selling.
The current 14K gold price per pennyweight is $128.24. A pennyweight (DWT) equals 1.555 grams and is commonly used by jewelers and gold buyers in the USA. There are 20 pennyweights in a troy ounce.
The value of a 14K gold necklace or bracelet depends on its weight. Use our calculator above to find the exact value. For example, a typical 10-gram 14K gold necklace is worth approximately $824.71 in melt value. Designer or antique jewelry may command a premium above the metal value.
The "585" hallmark indicates 14K gold (58.5% pure gold). This European marking system uses parts per thousand, so 585 = 58.5% gold content. You may also see stamps like "14K", "14KT", or "14KP" which all indicate 14 karat gold.
The 14K gold price is calculated by multiplying the 24K spot gold price by the purity percentage. Formula: Spot Price × 58.3% = 14K Price. This gives you the intrinsic metal value, also known as the "melt value."

Solid 14K gold is $82.47 per gram in melt value here. That is about 58.3% of the live 24K gold price per gram. Pawn cash is usually a slice of this number, not the full melt.
A 14K, 14KT, or 585 stamp on solid jewellery is 58.3% gold. 14K GP, HGE, or 14K GF is plated or filled and is not this 14K gold price. If wear shows a different metal underneath, test it.
14KP means plumb 14K: the alloy is a full 14K without the half-karat downward tolerance allowed on a plain 14K stamp. For this calculator still use the 14K row. It is not 18K.
The gold mount is weight (minus the stone) times $82.47. The diamond is a separate appraisal. Pricing the whole ring as 14K gold overstates melt.
Weigh the gold pendant without a non-gold bail if you can separate it, then multiply by $82.47. A 5-gram 14K pendant melts for about $412.36 before buyer deductions.
