Share
What Determines Gold Jewelry Price in Canada?
Gold jewelry pricing depends on:
• Global gold spot price
• CAD exchange rate
• Gold purity (karat)
• Weight (grams)
• Craftsmanship
• Retail markup
How Karat Affects Price
10K = 41.7% gold
14K = 58.3% gold
18K = 75% gold
Higher karat means:
• Higher gold content
• Higher price per gram
How Jewelry Weight Affects Price
Even small differences in grams significantly impact price.
Example:
A 3g 14K ring will cost noticeably less than a 6g 14K bracelet.
Why Two Similar Pieces Can Have Different Prices
• Design complexity
• Hollow vs solid construction
• Brand reputation
• Handmade vs machine-made
