How the 9ct per-gram price works
Because 9ct contains 37.5% pure gold, only that proportion of each gram has metal value. The calculation is straightforward: weight in grams × 0.375 × current gold market rate per gram.
From that figure we apply small adjustments for refining, processing, handling and intraday market movement. Every adjustment is shown in your itemised offer — there are no surprise deductions on arrival.
Because 9ct is the UK's most common carat, it's also the one where margins matter most. Even a fraction of a percent per gram makes a real difference across a full collection of chains and rings.
Competitive 9ct rates, transparently quoted
Some buyers advertise eye-catching 9ct headline rates then reduce on arrival. Our quoted per-gram figure is the figure we pay — calculated at a real UK flagship HQ.
HighStreetGold operates from its headquarters above the flagship Cash Generator store in St Helens town centre — a real, identifiable UK business with genuine premises, real staff and a public local reputation. You always know who is behind your valuation.
