Live gold & silver spot prices, plus exactly what we pay per gram by karat at our Montclair store. Updated every 60 seconds — no guessing before you drive over.
The gold spot price at the top of this page is the global market price for one troy ounce (31.1 grams) of pure, 24-karat gold. It moves continuously while markets are open, which is why the numbers here refresh every 60 seconds. To find the value of a single gram, divide the spot price by 31.1 — then adjust for how pure your item actually is.
Most jewelry isn't pure gold. 14K is 58.5% gold, 18K is 75%, and 10K is 41.7% — the rest is alloy metals that add strength but no melt value. Our live payout table above already does this math for you: it shows what we pay per gram for each karat, based on the current spot price and up to 95% of melt.
Use the Quick Payout Estimator above to get a live dollar figure: pick your metal and karat, enter the weight in grams, and it calculates your estimated payout against this second's spot price. Bring 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K, scrap, broken chains, coins, or bullion — we test everything with an XRF analyzer in front of you, weigh it on a calibrated scale, and pay on the spot in cash, Zelle, or Venmo.
Pawn shops and most jewelers pay 40–60% of melt and count on you not knowing the spot price. We start from the live rate on this page and pay up to 95% of it — no fees, no deductions, and no obligation. See the number, see the scale, see the math. If it isn't the best offer you've been shown, walk out and keep your gold.
