Question 2

Why do jewelers quote silver per gram?

Accepted Answer

Jewelry is sold by finished weight in grams, so per-gram pricing lets buyers compare pieces directly. A jeweler's per-gram ask includes the metal value plus making charges — typically separated on the invoice — which is why it exceeds the raw per-gram spot.

Question 3

What is the scrap silver price per gram?

Accepted Answer

Scrap buyers pay a percentage of the per-gram melt value — often 70–90% depending on purity and the buyer. For sterling (.925) scrap, multiply the fine-silver gram price by 0.925 first, then apply the buyer's payout rate.

Question 4

Is per-gram pricing the same for .999 and sterling silver?

Accepted Answer

No. The live per-gram price assumes .999 fine silver. Sterling is 92.5% silver, so its intrinsic gram value is the fine price times 0.925. Coin silver (90%) and 800-grade silver scale down the same way.

Question 5

How many grams are in a tola of silver?

Accepted Answer

One tola equals 11.6638 grams. At the live gram price, a tola's melt value is simply 11.6638 times the per-gram figure — the conversion table above shows it ready-made.

Troy ounce (31.10 g)	$53.91
Gram	$1.73
Kilogram	$1,733.37
Tola (11.66 g)	$20.22
