Curious to know how we price our Gold Jewellery Buyback Prices on our website?
Here at GoldSilver Central, we do get many questions on how we calculate our buyback prices for Gold Jewellery and in this article, we aim to address some common questions you would have:
Q: How do I calculate GoldSilver Central’s Buyback Prices from the Gold Prices I see from mediums provided by General News Providers such as Channel News Asia?
Recall seeing prices like Gold: $1544.70 on mediums such as broadcast or on websites of general news providers?
The prices you reflected here are known as spot prices, and represents the prices for 1 troy ounce of Pure Gold. Spot prices refers to the live prices that a commodity is being transacted & delivered at the current moment. Prices are driven by Demand and Supply. The price for selling your Gold Jewellery to us would be based on the BID price.
1 Troy Ounce of Gold = 31.1035 Grams of Gold
Hence, if the price reflected is USD 1544.70, then 1 Grams of Gold would be:
USD 1544.70 ÷ 31.1035g = USD 49.66 per Grams.
Please take note that our buyback prices for Gold Jewellery are reflected in SGD hence, you would need to calculate (BID) Gold Prices in SGD.
If the ASK for USD/SGD is 1.3847, Gold Prices in SGD would be:
USD 49.66 x 1.3847 = SGD 68.76
This would be the spot price in SGD for 1 Gram of Gold.
So how do we price our Jewellery Buyback Prices from the Spot Price?
When this screenshot was taken, the Spot Price (BID) for Gold in SGD was SGD 2099.90 per troy ounce. Please take note that calculations here are based on estimates.
Final Buying Price = Spot Price (1 Gram) – Discount
As we will send the gold to a refiner for melt, the discount amount would include
- Melting Cost
- Transportation Cost (Shipping, etc)
- Insurance Cost for Shipping
- Manpower Cost
- Cost involved
Taking into consideration that Spot Price (BID) would be for Pure (999) Gold,
Spot Price for 1 gram of 999 Gold:
SGD 2099.90 ÷ 31.1035g = SGD 67.51 per gram.
Discount from Spot Price: SGD 67.51 – SGD 64.40 = SGD 3.11.
So, what if the Gold Jewellery you have is of 916 Purity?
Using the same Spot Price (BID) for Gold,
Spot Price for 1 gram of 916 Gold:
(SGD 2099.90 ÷ 31.1035g) x 91.6% = SGD 61.84 per gram
Discount from Spot Price: SGD 61.84 – SGD 58.30 = SGD 3.54
Note: The prices you see on our website would be the final NETT price, means there are no further deductions.
Q: How does a typical process look like when I sell my Gold Jewellery to you?
A typical process looks like this:
- Drop by our Retail Store during our Operating Hours with your Gold Jewellery.
- Our team will sort out your Gold Jewellery based on the purity
- After deducting the estimated weight for any stones on the jewellery, we will then refer to the Jewellery Buyback Prices on our website and use the rates as seen.
- Upon the confirmation of the total amount you would be getting for your Gold Jewellery, we would issue a buyback invoice and the amount will be given to you in Cash.

The GSC Collateral Loan program enables you to retain full ownership of your physical metal holdings but also gives you the opportunity to monetize your assets for expansion of investments or when you need immediate cash flow. It is backed by a registered pawn broker in Singapore.
There are essentially 3 key points to take note of if you intend to make full use of this program to grow your investments* instead of storing your money in banks that give inflation-eroded interest rates:
- You already have precious metals on hand. If you seek liquidity, you can pawn the items to us instead of selling outright. The cost is only 1% interest a month for gold and 1.5% for silver and platinum. If prices go up more than the stipulated interest rate, you can redeem your items for the afore-agreed on principle amount and take profit while still maintain ownership of your items.
- You have no precious metals on hand but wish to own some. The Collateral Loan Program offers you leverage where you buy and then pawn the items with us at the respective loan-to-values (LTV): up to 85% for gold and 75% for silver and platinum. So basically, you can buy a gold kilobar valued at spot bid $65,000 and pawn it back to us at 85% LTV of $55,250. Hey you just paid $9,750 to own a gold kilobar with interest of 1% a month! Again you can choose to take physical delivery or sell your gold kilobar when prices rise above the interest costs to earn a profit.
- You have collateral loan items with us and can choose to revalue your pawn ticket when prices go up. This means you can get instant cash above the interest payment for the month.

*As with any investment, there are risks involved. The above is based on the assumption that bullion prices are on a bullish trend. You may get back less than the amount invested if the market moves against you. You are advised to do your independent due diligence.
