22K gold price today

22K gold is worth approximately $126.66 per gram today. This is the estimated melt value for gold that is approximately 91.67 percent pure. Your final offer may change after the item’s purity, net gold weight, stones, condition, and resale potential are assessed.

Multiply your item’s net gold weight in grams by $126.66. For example, the estimated melt value of 10 grams of verified 22K gold is 10 multiplied by $126.66. Stones and other non-gold components may need to be excluded from the weight.

A 916 mark means the item is intended to contain approximately 916 parts gold per 1,000, or 91.6 percent gold. This generally corresponds with 22K gold. A professional test can confirm whether the item matches its mark.

The terms generally describe the same purity. The karat system measures gold in parts out of 24, while 916 measures it in parts out of 1,000. Small differences may appear because of rounding, manufacturing tolerances, repairs, or testing results.

22K gold contains approximately 91.67 percent gold, while 24K gold is commonly marked 999 or 999.9. At the same weight, 24K normally has a higher melt value because it contains more gold (today's 24K gold price: $138.18). The live 22K benchmark is $126.66 per gram.

No. A 916 hallmark identifies the item’s declared purity, but it does not establish its weight, condition, stone value, current market price, or final selling offer. The complete piece should still be tested and assessed.

Gemstones and other non-gold components may be included in the item’s total scale weight but excluded from its net gold weight. Some stones may have separate value, so assess the complete item before removing them or treating the jewelry as scrap.

Yes. Damage does not remove the intrinsic value of the gold. However, signed, antique, gemstone-set, culturally significant, or repairable pieces may be worth more intact than as scrap.

$126.66 is an estimated melt-value benchmark, not a guaranteed payout. A buyer may account for testing results, non-gold components, refining or resale costs, market movement, and payment terms. Ask for the tested purity, net gold weight, price timestamp, additions, deductions, and final amount you will receive.
