9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct & 24ct Gold Values – Sell Gold Jewellery & Scrap Gold UK
Wondering how much your 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct or 24ct gold is worth? Birmingham Gold Company buys every carat of gold, from broken jewellery and scrap gold to bullion and investment pieces. Our live Gold Price Calculator shows the genuine prices we currently pay, helping you compare buyers using realistic values rather than misleading advertised rates.
Gold value depends on three things: the purity (carat), the weight and the current bullion market. The higher the gold content, the higher the value per gram. Below is a simple guide to the different carats commonly found in the UK and overseas.
How Much Is 9ct Gold Worth?
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold and is hallmarked 375. It is the most common gold purity found in the UK because it is durable enough for everyday jewellery including rings, bracelets, chains and earrings.
Although it contains less pure gold than higher carats, 9ct gold still has significant value. Use our calculator to see today's genuine buying price.
How Much Is 14ct Gold Worth?
14ct gold contains 58.5% pure gold and is usually marked 585. It is widely used throughout Europe and North America but is less common in the UK.
Imported jewellery may not carry a UK hallmark, but we professionally test every item to confirm its purity before making an offer.
How Much Is 18ct Gold Worth?
18ct gold contains 75% pure gold and is marked 750. It is commonly used in high-quality jewellery and luxury brands because it combines high gold content with excellent durability.
Its higher gold content means it is normally worth considerably more per gram than 9ct or 14ct gold.
How Much Is 22ct Gold Worth?
22ct gold contains 91.6% pure gold and is usually hallmarked 916. It is frequently found in wedding jewellery and Asian gold jewellery.
Because of its very high gold content it commands one of the highest prices per gram, although every item is professionally tested before purchase.
How Much Is 24ct Gold Worth?
24ct gold is 99.9% pure and is normally marked 999. It is mainly used for investment bars, bullion and some gold coins rather than everyday jewellery.
Because it contains almost pure gold it attracts the highest value per gram, with prices changing throughout the day as the bullion market moves.
Do Hallmarks Matter?
Hallmarks make identifying gold purity easier, but they are not essential. Birmingham Gold Company professionally tests all gold using industry-standard methods, including XRF analysis where appropriate, so even unhallmarked jewellery can often be accurately valued.
