Determining the weight of your scrap gold will help you to calculate its base value. This doesn't necessarily represent the price you will get, but it's good to have this figure as a reference when starting negotiations.  Purchase a jeweler's scale. Such a scale is available online for less than $50. This is the best way to accurately weigh your gold, as jeweler's scales are built to be more precise than a typical gram scale you might have in your home. Use a food scale if you cannot purchase a jeweler's scale. If you have a food scale in your home, you can use it to weigh your gold. Most inexpensive food scales weigh only by the ounce, so make sure you evaluate the functionality of the scale if you are purchasing one specifically to weigh your scrap gold. If you are unable or unwilling to purchase your own scale, take your scrap gold to a jeweler for weighing. Be sure to weigh your items in groups, based on their particular karat. Place your items on the scale and allow it to settle before taking the reading. Depending on the scale, there may be an arrow that settles near an exact gram amount, and you take your measurements from that. However, more expensive scales will have a digital readout that makes calculations as easy as reading the screen. The conversion ratio is 28.3495231 grams per ounce, or about 14.175 grams per half ounce. Usually, you won't have a full ounce of gold for any particular karat, and if you do, it will only be for a single karat fineness, so having all your calculations in the same weight measurement makes things much easier later in the process.
