Piece value
From the piece’s weight and karat, and the price per gram of one karat you know.
In any currency you deal in; the result is in the same currency.
Piece price per gram = price per gram × piece karat fineness ÷ price karat fineness

For the shop
For everyday buying and selling: a piece’s value, converting weight between karats, and the price per gram from the ounce price.
From the piece’s weight and karat, and the price per gram of one karat you know.
In any currency you deal in; the result is in the same currency.
Piece price per gram = price per gram × piece karat fineness ÷ price karat fineness
What a weight in one karat equals in another, with the same fine gold.
Equivalent weight = weight × first karat fineness ÷ second karat fineness
The price per gram from the ounce price, or the ounce price from the price per gram. Type in either field.
An ounce is 31.1035 grams of fine gold. In any currency you deal in; the result is in the same currency.
24K price per gram = ounce price ÷ 31.1035; any karat’s price per gram = 24K price per gram × the karat’s fineness ÷ 24K fineness
For manufacturing
For manufacturing: karat adjustment and the alloy mix.
How much fine gold to add to raise a karat, or how much alloy to add to lower it.
To raise: weight × (target − current fineness) ÷ (24K fineness − target). To lower: weight × (current − target) ÷ target.
How much fine gold, silver and copper go into an alloy of the karat and weight you choose.
The rest of the alloy metal is copper. More silver gives a pale yellow, more copper a red tone.
24K gold = alloy weight × target fineness ÷ 24K fineness; the rest is alloy metal, split between silver and copper.
Fineness in parts per thousand: the values the calculators above use.
Each karat’s price, every piece’s value by its weight, making charges and balances, with no calculator.
