What is a gold alloy?

It is a piece of pure or semi-pure gold that is cast or shaped into a solid mold of specific weight and dimensions, and is used mainly as a means of investment or to preserve value, in addition to its use in the manufacture of jewelry and other precious metals.

Gold bullion is characterized by coming in different weights to suit the needs of investors, whether it is small in size such as 1 gram or large up to 1 kilogram or more. It also differs in its purity or carats, which determine the percentage of pure gold in it, and it is usually of a high carat such as 22 or 24 carats to ensure the quality and value of the metal.

How to calculate the price of a gold ingot?


Price of the ingot = Weight of the ingot (grams) × Gold purity (as a decimal part) × Price per gram of gold + Fees or commission (if applicable)

example:

If the ingot weighed 100 grams and was 21 carats (i.e., 21/24 ≈ 0.875), and the price of a gram of gold today was 358 Saudi Riyals and the commission was 50 Saudi Riyals, then the price would be:


100 × 0.875 × 358 + 50 = 31,375 Saudi Riyals

What factors influence the price of a gold ingot?


The price of gold bullion in Saudi Arabia fluctuates constantly, but have you ever wondered what factors actually control these changes? From global market volatility to the purity and weight of the bullion, there are a number of subtle factors that determine its value, including:


  1. Weight of the ingot: The weight of the ingot is measured in grams or ounces, and this is the primary factor in determining the price because the price of gold is usually calculated per gram.
  2. Gold purity (carat): The carat of gold determines the percentage of pure gold in the alloy. For example, 24 carats means 99.9% pure gold, while 21 or 22 carats mean a slightly lower percentage of pure gold. The higher the carat, the higher the price of the alloy.
  3. The price of a gram of gold in the market: The daily price of a gram of gold is based on global and local markets, and the price is often updated daily or even instantaneously.
  4. Crafting fees or commission: Sometimes, crafting fees or a jeweler's commission are added to the price of the ingot, and these vary from place to place depending on the policies followed.

3. Market price at the time of sale


  • If the ingot was purchased at a higher price, the selling price is calculated based on the price of gold at the moment of sale , and may be lower or higher depending on market movement.


4. Fees or commission (in some shops only)

  • Most large gold shops do not charge fixed fees, but rely solely on price differences.
