About 9k scrap gold
9k gold is 37.5% gold and is the lowest legal gold standard in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. It is extremely common in British jewelry and hallmarked '375'. Because less than 40% is gold, 9k scrap sells for considerably less per gram than 18k or 22k.
How the 9k scrap price is calculated
Buyers use one formula: weight (g) × purity × spot price per gram × payout %. With today's spot of $133.12 per gram of pure gold, 9k works out to $49.92 per gram before the buyer's margin. The margin covers assaying, refining losses (usually 1–3%), transport and profit.
Selling tip
UK hallmarks include a sponsor mark, fineness '375', assay office mark and date letter — they guarantee the karat. Weigh your items on a 0.01 g kitchen or jewelry scale before visiting a buyer, separate pieces by karat, and ask for the offer per gram in writing.
