Gold Weights
Gold is measured in a standard called Troy Ounces. One troy ounce = 31.1 grams.
Depending on the amount of gold you are considering selling you might consider purchasing a simple gram scale to weigh your jewelry before getting quotes.
Most jewelry is usually less than an troy ounce so the weights are broken down into pennyweights. There are 20 pennyweights in 1 Troy Ounce.
A pennyweight is abbreviated as "dwt".
It might be helpful to create a spreadsheet in excel. Record first the item description then the purity (or karat) and finally the weight.
Once you have all of this information down it is time to check the current gold price.
