How to use the 22K gold price before buying or selling
The 22K gold price is mainly useful for high-purity jewelry, bangles, chains, coins and cultural gold items marked 916 or 917. Because 22K gold contains about 91.6% pure gold, its melt value sits close to 24K gold but is still lower than pure bullion. That difference matters when a buyer quotes a price per gram.
Check the stamp first. If the item is marked 916, use the 22K row and multiply by the gram weight. If the item is marked 999 or 24K, use the pure gold row instead. If it is marked 750, 585 or 417, it should not be valued with the 22K gold price because the pure gold content is lower.
For jewelry, remember that shop selling prices can include making charges, tax, design premium and local demand. For selling, the melt value is only a benchmark. A buyer may pay less than melt to cover testing, refining and margin, while collectible coins or heritage jewelry may deserve a separate appraisal.
This page is best used as a live 916 gold reference: confirm the hallmark, weigh the gold portion, compare the per-gram value, then check whether the buyer's payout percentage makes sense.
