Understanding Gold Prices in the UK
The gold price fluctuates constantly based on global market conditions. Our calculator uses live data from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the world's leading authority on precious metals pricing.
What Affects Gold Prices?
- Global economic conditions - Uncertainty often drives gold prices higher
- Currency fluctuations - The GBP/USD exchange rate impacts UK gold prices
- Central bank policies - Interest rate decisions affect gold's appeal
- Supply and demand - Mining output and jewellery demand influence prices
Spot Price vs. Offer Price
The spot price shown in our calculator represents the current market rate for pure gold. When selling, you'll typically receive 80-98% of spot price depending on:
- Item condition - Scrap gold vs. intact jewellery
- Designer or brand value - Cartier, Tiffany, etc. may command premiums
- Weight and purity - Higher karats and larger quantities often get better rates
- Stones or additional materials - Diamonds and gems are valued separately
UK Gold Hallmarks Explained
British gold jewellery is legally required to carry hallmarks if it weighs more than 1 gram. These marks tell you the purity and origin of your gold.
| Karat | Purity | UK Hallmark | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24KT | 99.9% | 999 | Investment bars, coins |
| 22KT | 91.6% | 916 | Asian jewellery, sovereigns |
| 18KT | 75.0% | 750 | Fine jewellery, luxury watches |
| 14KT | 58.5% | 585 | European jewellery |
| 9KT | 37.5% | 375 | Most UK high street jewellery |
Tip: Look for hallmarks inside rings, on clasp tags, or on the back of pendants. A jeweller's loupe or magnifying glass helps spot these tiny marks.
