A jewelry case has to do two jobs at once: show off the piece and show the price clearly. These guides cover how to set prices on gold and platinum, what a tag is allowed to say, and how lighting affects both.
Pricing pieces
- How to price gold jewelry: spot price, karat and markup.
- Pricing platinum jewelry: reading 950, 900 and 850 stamps and calculating metal value.
Tags and display
- What your gold and silver price tags must say under the FTC's jewelry guides.
- Jewelry case lighting and price tags: glare, placement and font size.
For melt values by karat, see the gold melt value chart.
