375 gold chain or hoops
Light UK high-street chains often weigh 1–3 grams. The 9K gold price per gram times that weight is a small cash number. High-street retail was never that melt.

How to use the 9K gold price for 375 jewelry
The 9K gold price applies to jewelry stamped 375, which means the item contains about 37.5% pure gold. This standard is common in the UK, Australia and some Commonwealth markets, especially for affordable rings, chains, earrings and everyday jewelry.
Because 9K gold has a lower gold percentage than 10K, 14K or 18K, its melt value per gram is lower even when the item looks similar. A heavy 375 chain can still be valuable, but it should be priced with the 9K gold price, not with the 14K or 18K rows.
Before selling, look for the 375 stamp, weigh the gold portion in grams, then compare the current melt value with the offer. If the piece includes stones, steel springs, plated parts or a non-gold watch movement, those parts should not be counted as pure gold weight.
For buyers, 9K jewelry can be practical because the alloy is harder and usually more affordable. For sellers, the key is not the original retail price; it is the current 9K gold price, actual gram weight and payout percentage offered by the buyer.
9ct, 375, and why US buyers treat 9K differently
In the UK and Australia the same alloy is sold as 9ct or 9 carat gold, stamped 375. That is 37.5% fine gold. The 9K gold price on this page is that millesimal melt, not a “half of 18K” guess.
In the United States, 10K is the legal floor for calling an item gold. A 375 chain can still be melted for 9K gold content, but a US shop may not market it as gold jewelry. That legal label does not zero the metal. Use this 9K gold price, not the 10K gold price, and do not skip the piece as costume until it is tested.
UK assay marks (town, date letter, fineness) sit beside 375. You only need the fineness for this calculator. A 375 gold chain with a steel clasp should be weighed without the steel if you can separate it.
Typical 9K gold selling jobs
9ct ring with a small stone
Subtract the stone. A 375 gold ring melt is the gold mount only. Cubic zirconia does not ride the 9K gold price.
Mixed 9K and 18K from one box
Sort 375 away from 750. Using the 9K gold price on an 18K piece underpays you. Using 18K on 9ct overstates the lot until the tester stops the deal.
Confirm 375 or 9ct, weigh the gold, then use the 9K calculator at the top before you take a UK, Australian, or online 9K gold price.
