Walking past the jewellery store windows, the dazzling gold jewellery always catches the eyes of passersby. Its charm stems not only from its opulence and elegance but also from its dual role as a collectible and an investment. To evaluate the reasonable price of a piece of gold jewellery, one must start with three key factors: weight, purity, and the market gold price. Weight is measured in grams or taels, while purity is indicated by the karat (K) value—24K represents pure gold, while 22K and 18K vary depending on their gold content. The market gold price acts as a dynamic benchmark, fluctuating daily due to factors such as international economic trends, currency exchange rates, and geopolitical events.

Gold jewellery pricing can be mainly categorized into two types: price-by-weight and fixed pricing. The former is calculated by adding labor costs to the daily market gold price. The latter, however, is determined by design and craftsmanship costs. With fixed pricing, the prices remain stable regardless of gold price fluctuations.

The price of gold jewellery is typically calculated using the formula:
"Gold Weight × Current Gold Priceopens in a new tab + Labor Fee + Commission."
Among these, the gold weight and current gold priceopens in a new tab directly determine the base price, while the labor fee varies depending on the complexity of the design and manufacturing process. The commission is generally 2% of the gold value of the item, though the specific percentage may slightly vary depending on the purchasing channel or brand services. Gaining a thorough understanding of these factors will empower you to make informed decisions during your purchase and prevent budget overruns due to price fluctuations or unexpected charges.

For instance, if you purchase a piece of gold jewellery weighing 0.25 taels, calculated at the market rate of HK$46,310 per tael, with a craftsmanship fee of HK$200 and a 2% commission, the final price would be: "0.25 taels × HK$46,310 × 1.02 + HK$200 = HK$12,009."
