Currency and the gold price in the UK
Sterling floats freely, so the gold price in GBP depends on both the global gold price and the pound's exchange rate against the dollar.
Worked example at current prices: the ounce is 4,072.10 USD. Dividing by 31.1035 gives 130.92 USD per gram; multiplying by the exchange rate (0.7477) gives 97.89 GBP per gram of 24K. Since 21K is 87.5% gold, its gram costs 85.66 GBP, and 18K (75%) costs 73.42 GBP.

Buying tips for UK
- Check the hallmark: 999 for 24K, 916 for 22K, 875 for 21K and 750 for 18K.
- Ask for an invoice showing weight, karat, price per gram, making charge and any tax.
- Tax treatment of gold differs by country, so ask the seller about any tax added before paying.
- Compare making charges between shops — they drive most of the difference in final prices.
- Ask about the buy-back price and exchange policy before you pay.
- Use the live price on this page as your reference when negotiating.
