Gold Price Gram Calculator

How does gold price markup work?

I have been shopping for a gold necklace I did some research on gold prices and I downloaded a gold price calculator so I know how to get current prices per gram for the different karats. What I don’t know is how does the markup for workmanship and things of that sort work. For example I saw a 10k gold necklace that weighed 30g for $625, at the current gold price 30g of 10k gold would be about $315 so the markup is $310 on the necklace is that right? What determines this markup?

Well, a necklace is not a lump of gold, there is obviously some artistry and workmanship involved. How much is it worth? That is obviously open to discussion. That said, I have observed that markups on jewelry seem quite high compared to more common consumer products. Of course, jewelers don’t make as many sales every day as the corner grocery store, so I suppose the need to stay in business.
