How do you calculate the value of gold?
Gold value = weight in grams × price per gram for the karat. When buying new jewellery, add the making charge: weight × (price per gram + making charge per gram). When selling, dealers usually pay weight × price per gram minus a margin, without the making charge.
Example: a 10-gram piece of 21k gold at 1,100 dinars per gram is worth about 11,000 dinars. With a making charge of 40 dinars per gram, the buying price becomes about 11,400 dinars.
What is the making charge?
The making charge pays for manufacturing and designing the piece, usually a fixed amount per gram that depends on the type of jewellery and how intricate it is. It is normally not recovered when you sell, so jewellery with a high making charge is less suited to saving than bars or simple pieces.
