Why are there such price differences between similar looking pieces of gold jewlery?
Pricing depends on four things: • Karatage: other things being equal, 18k cost more than 14k because it contains more pure gold. • Weight in grams: heavier pieces contain more gold. • Design and construction: unique design, ornamental details or an unusual clasp can add to the price. • Craftsmanship: Gold jewelry is primarily made by machine: any handwork increases the price.
