21ct gold explained
21ct gold is 87.5% pure gold (875 parts per thousand). It is a popular standard in Saudi Arabian, Egyptian, Indian and many African markets, often used for traditional wedding jewellery and decorative chains.
Because 21ct sits between the more familiar UK standards of 18ct and 22ct, valuations can be inconsistent at less experienced buyers. Our flagship team is trained to recognise common 21ct marks and the local stamps that accompany them.
Where items are unmarked or use regional symbols, electronic testing confirms the carat before we calculate the per-gram figure.

UK carat & purity reference
Each carat carries a fixed purity. Per-gram value is weight × purity × the current gold market rate, before refining and handling adjustments.
Multipliers shown are nominal purities. Indicative per-gram values follow the same multipliers when applied to the live 24ct market rate.
