Weight and karat conversions explained
Precious metals use units that are rarely seen elsewhere. Bullion is priced per troy ounce of 31.1035 grams, South Asian jewelry per tola of 11.6638 grams and Hong Kong gold per tael of 37.429 grams. Our weight converters use these exact legal definitions, so you can compare a price per ounce with a price per tola without rounding errors.
Karat converters answer a different question: how much gold of one purity contains the same pure gold as another. For example, 10 g of 18k (750) gold equals about 7.51 g of 24k. They are useful when trading in old jewelry or comparing per-gram quotes in different karats. For live prices per karat see gold price per gram by karat.
