    I started to make jewelry when gold was $250 per oz. And I got
    hooked on the beauty of it. Afterwards, my line was filled with
    silver and there are so many people who just love silver. Then I
    came across the tables that convert the weight of a silver piece to
    the weight of the same piece if it is made in platinum and gold (any
    karat). Now I can compute the cost of these pieces without making
    both items, have these prices available to customers who wish
    another metal other than the display item. It makes it easier to
    create a great piece with no skimping. When the future prices are
    good, that piece in gold becomes the next display item. 

    Found in Tim McCreight's "The Complete Metalsmith" Revised Edition,
    pg.181 

    called: Query-Known-Factor column 

Best wishes, june
