Accurate weighing is central to a gold valuation. Customers should be able to see the displayed measurement and understand which weight is used.
Gross Weight
Gross weight is the total weight of the complete item, including any stones and non-gold components.
Eligible Net Gold Weight
After identifying non-gold materials, the evaluator calculates the weight considered eligible as gold. This figure is then connected to tested purity and the rate.
Scale Accuracy
Professional businesses should maintain appropriate weighing equipment. If you have questions, ask when the scale was calibrated and watch the display.
