Awesome service we came in and Constantine was knowledgeable about my silver and the items I brought he helped us get squared away in no time and even gave me the option of cash or check. Will come here again if I have more business to do.

Very friendly and fast! I sold a gold chain and he paid me cash right on the spot. I will say though I was a bit confused at first, I came on a Saturday and the building they are located in keeps the doors locked on the weekend, but I called and he answered immediately and came down to let me in right away.

Google Maps gave me direction to the back of the building to a dead end but I walked around the block and was able to find it and I’m glad i did. I believe their prices are more fair than any pawn shop would offer. I’m happy and will be back in the future for sure.

Very professional, easy to deal with - I recommend this place if you are in Vancouver area and want to sell precious metals. I went to get quoted on silver bullion coins and they paid about $8 less per ounce versus the current spot price, which seems like an ok price to me when comparing with the other coin/jewelry shops in the area. There is some paid street parking in front of their building and it was a fast transaction, they just weighed and inspected the coins and cut me a check.

So I was really impressed with the level of service that I got at this place! I had a gold necklace that I needed to sell...They tested it right there...weighed and made me an offer! I wasn't really impressed a whole lot with offer-But called the next day...and he gave me what I wanted for necklace! The impressive part was how hard this man went above and beyond for anything that I asked of him! Had a problem cashing check-So went back...and he wrote 2 checks-To help make it easier to cash...(There was a 2500 limit for cashing non customers checks per day) Then after that,the bank still gave me problems, I would never bank at Chase bank!!! It was Christmas eve...and I called this place Royal Element to see if that gentleman was there that helped me the day before! He was,or wasn't there? Not really sure...But he heard the problems that I was having,and said he would just meet me at the bank to get it figured out! He went out of his way to help me,when he didn't have too!!! It's because of him that I had a good Christmas...I was able to shop for loved ones...and it relieved so much stress that I highly recommend this place! His name was Constantine,and he was such a blessing! Really nice,proffesional,and mostly honest! These are qualities that are hard to find when you're selling something. Especially if your in a bind...or needing money ASAP. I want to thank Constantine for all he did for me...and never once did he make me feel like I was a bother! This is a 10/10 for me...Future business will definitely be in the cards for me,with them!!!!

Very easy, quick experience! I didn’t know anything about the value of the little gold and rose gold ring (band with no rock) from my previous marriage that I brought in, but Joe tested it gave me a quick quote for the weight of the 14k gold and offered me a payout of cash, check, or Venmo. Whole process only took about 10 minutes. Super simple! Glad I went :)

If they had Ten Stars I'd give them 20. The offer made was absolutely equitable and reasonable. The company is trustworthy and fast. They pointed out the fact that a "Solid Gold" bangle bracelet was actually plated. And showed it to me. One of the best!

Gold Calculator
Use Royal Element’s gold calculator to estimate the current value of your gold by weight, unit, and karat purity. Whether you are checking a 10K ring, 14K jewelry, 18K chains, 22K pieces, 24K bullion, scrap gold, dental gold, coins, or broken jewelry, this tool helps you understand the approximate melt value before you sell.
How To Use The Gold Value Calculator
Enter the weight of your gold, choose grams, pennyweight, or troy ounces, then select the karat mark stamped on the item. The calculator uses the current gold market price and the purity percentage of your item to estimate its gold content. Common jewelry markings include 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K, as well as 417, 585, 750, 916, and 999.
How Gold Value Is Calculated
Gold is priced by the troy ounce, but most jewelry is weighed in grams or pennyweight. The basic formula is: gold value = gold spot price per gram × item weight × purity percentage. For example, 14K gold contains about 58.5% pure gold, while 18K gold contains about 75% pure gold. The higher the purity and the heavier the item, the higher the estimated gold value.
Gold Calculator By Karat
10K Gold
10K gold is 41.7% pure gold and is common in durable everyday jewelry.
14K Gold
14K gold is 58.5% pure gold and is one of the most common jewelry purities in the United States.
18K Gold
18K gold is 75% pure gold and is often used in higher-end fine jewelry.
24K Gold
24K gold is nearly pure gold and is usually found in bullion, bars, coins, and some high-purity jewelry.
Scrap Gold Calculator For Jewelry, Coins, And Bullion
This calculator can be used for more than finished jewelry. It can help estimate the value of scrap gold, broken chains, single earrings, class rings, gold coins, small bullion pieces, dental gold, and other gold items. For the most accurate estimate, separate items by karat before entering the weight.
Nationwide Gold Selling And Appraisals
Royal Element helps customers understand gold value whether they are local or comparing gold buyers nationwide. The calculator is designed for people across the United States who want a transparent way to estimate gold value before requesting an appraisal. If you want an exact offer, Royal Element can review your items and explain the purity, weight, market price, and payout process clearly.
Why Your Final Offer May Be Different From Melt Value
A gold calculator gives an estimate based on market price, weight, and purity. A real offer may also consider testing results, non-gold materials, stones, condition, refining costs, market movement, and buyer margin. The best way to know the actual value of your gold is to get a professional appraisal with transparent testing.
Gold Calculator FAQ
How accurate is this gold calculator?
The calculator provides an estimate based on the current gold market price, item weight, and selected purity. Actual offers can vary after professional testing and appraisal.
What is the difference between melt value and payout value?
Melt value is the estimated raw value of the gold content. Payout value is the amount a buyer may offer after considering testing, refining, handling, and market factors.
Can I calculate gold value by gram?
Yes. Select grams as the unit, enter the item weight, and choose the karat purity to estimate the value by gram.
What does 14K or 585 mean?
14K and 585 both mean the item contains about 58.5% pure gold. The rest is made of other metals used for strength and color.
What does 18K or 750 mean?
18K and 750 both mean the item contains about 75% pure gold.
Can I use this as a scrap gold calculator?
Yes. The tool can estimate scrap gold value as long as you know the weight and karat purity of the items.
