    I will try to help you get to the point! 

    Gram Weight X .03215 X Purity (10k: 0.4166, 14k: 0.5833, 16k: 0.666,
    18k: 0.75) X Price of Pure GOLD= 100% =/- what it is worth. 

    EXAMPLE: 14k yellow gold wedding band, weight: 12.0 grams 12 X 0.03215
    X 0.5833 X $542.40 = $174.31 

    Now what you need to consider is 1)refining cost 2) is the metal
    really 14k? and 3) turn around time for your money. 

    By the way, the .03215 is the factor to turn grams into ounces. 

GOOD LUCK!
