Question 1

How do I calculate the value of my gold jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Three steps: (1) Weigh the piece in grams on a jewelry scale. (2) Identify the karat stamp (24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, 14K, 10K) — this is the purity. (3) Multiply: weight × purity fineness × current spot price per gram. For example, a 10g 22K chain when gold is trading at CA$139.03 per gram pure is worth 10 × 0.9167 × CA$139.03 for its metal content alone. Deduct 5–15% for dealer margin on resale.

Question 2

What is the difference between 22K, 21K and 18K gold?

Accepted Answer

The karat number describes parts of pure gold out of 24. 24K is 99.9% pure (soft, investment-grade). 22K = 91.67% pure (rich yellow, standard in India/Pakistan and Gulf jewelry). 21K = 87.5% (dominant in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt). 18K = 75% pure (European luxury, harder and more durable for settings). 14K and 10K are primarily North American and more affordable per piece, at the cost of a paler colour and lower intrinsic metal value.

Question 3

What is a tola of gold and how much does it weigh?

Accepted Answer

A tola is a South Asian weight unit equal to 11.6638 grams (approximately 0.375 troy ounces). It remains the most common unit in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal for gold jewelry and investment. At the current spot price of CA$139.03 per gram, 1 tola of pure (24K) gold is worth CA$1,621.65.

Question 4

Is gold a good investment right now?

Accepted Answer

Gold has historically served as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and geopolitical risk. It does not pay interest or dividends, so its return comes entirely from price appreciation. Most financial advisers suggest allocating 5–10% of a diversified portfolio to gold via physical bullion, ETFs, or mining stocks. Short-term price movements are driven by real interest rates, the US dollar index, and central bank buying.

Question 5

Should I buy coins, bars, or jewelry?

Accepted Answer

For investment: bars and sovereign coins (American Eagle, Canadian Maple, South African Krugerrand, Saudi Guinea) have the lowest premium over spot and the best resale liquidity. For wealth preservation with wearability: 22K or 21K jewelry from reputable souqs retains most of its metal value. Avoid heavy designer pieces as an investment — the craftsmanship premium does not recover on resale.

Question 6

Do I have to pay tax on gold?

Accepted Answer

Tax treatment varies by country. In the EU, investment gold is generally VAT-exempt. The UK exempts sovereign coins from capital gains tax. The US taxes physical gold as a collectible at up to 28%. Most GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait) have no personal capital gains tax. Always verify with your local tax authority before large purchases.

Question 7

How is the gold price determined?

Accepted Answer

The gold spot price (XAU) is set by global commodity markets — primarily the London Bullion Market (LBMA), COMEX in New York, and the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Prices are quoted in US dollars per troy ounce and update continuously during market hours. We convert the live USD quote to your local currency and weight unit in real time.

Question 8

Why is the gold price different at my local shop?

Accepted Answer

Local retailers add a premium over the spot price to cover refining, fabrication, shipping, dealer margin, and VAT or sales tax. Expect 2–8% markup on bullion coins and bars, and 10–30% on jewelry (the extra covers design and labour). Our prices are the unadjusted global spot, which is the raw material cost before any premium.

Question 9

How often do your gold prices update?

Accepted Answer

Our XAU quotes refresh every 60 seconds during market hours and are sourced from institutional feeds. Historical charts use daily London PM fix values for consistency with financial reporting standards.

Question 10

Can I use these prices to calculate resale value?

Accepted Answer

The spot price is the starting point, but a dealer will typically offer 92–98% of spot for investment-grade bars and coins, and 60–85% of the melt value for scrap jewelry (after deducting for purity and weight loss during refining). Always check two or three dealers before selling.
