9-carat gold has no fixed price: it has a gold content. A 9-carat jewel contains 375 thousandths of fine gold, a little more than a third of its weight; the rest is an alloy that gives it its hardness and a more accessible purchase price. Its buyback price is therefore calculated on the day of the sale, from the gold price, and can be read on the grid published by Gold & Silver Company, a Fonderie-Raffinerie approved by the Royal Mint of Belgium, which pays for the measured content, not the promise of a hallmark.
375 thousandths: the standard of British jewellery and of lightweight jewels
The 9-carat standard is the most widespread standard in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, and in Belgium it is found in jewellery brought back from travels, watches, children's jewellery and lightweight creations: hallmark “375” or “9K”, sometimes “9ct” on British jewellery. Out of one thousand parts of metal, 375 are fine gold; it is indeed gold, and it is a legal standard, but it contains half as much as an 18-carat: a 9-carat jewel is worth 375 thousandths of its weight in fine gold, that is half the value of an 18-carat jewel of the same weight. What to remember: 9-carat gold is bought back at its gold weight, like all the other standards, at the published price of the day, and has nothing to do with gold-plated jewellery, which for its part is not bought back.
The price is calculated on the day of the sale, never before
The gold price changes every trading day. Any price for 18-carat gold written permanently into a web page is therefore, by construction, already out of date. For this reason Gold & Silver Company publishes a daily buyback grid, with the price per gram for each standard. On the quotation, each standard has its own line: jewels of the same gold are grouped into one lot and weighed together, as at the branch.
The measured content, not the announced hallmark
The hallmark announces the standard; the laboratory verifies it. The lot is weighed, analysed on the touchstone, a prior obligation of the trade, then melted and assayed by spectrometry. If the measurement comes out above the hallmark, the price follows the measurement. The complete journey of a jewel, from the front desk to the crucible, is described on the jewellery and diamonds page.
Selling direct to the producer
Most gold buying businesses are intermediaries: the collected jewel leaves for a smelting and refining plant, and every link in the chain keeps its share. At Gold & Silver Company, the furnace is on site, at the Fonderie-Raffinerie of Dottignies (Mouscron): no intermediary, no brokerage fees, a direct sale to the producer. To decide between two offers, only the net offer counts.
Settlement and taxation
Settlement follows the house's general terms: up to 500 euros in cash at the branch and the balance by bank transfer within 5 business days, as detailed on the page devoted to the legal cash ceiling. A valid identity card is enough. As for the Belgian 10 % capital gains tax that came into force in 2026, it targets investment bars and coins: jewellery is excluded from it.
Coming in with your jewellery
The appraisal is free, without obligation and without appointment, at the Dottignies (Mouscron) branch, rue Arthur Roelandt 22, on the French border; sellers from Lille and its metropolitan area are received there every day.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a gram of 9-carat gold worth when you sell it?
On , we buy back a gram of 9-carat gold at 37,44 € at the office of our refinery, net price, nothing added or deducted, updated several times a day. A 10 g piece of 9-carat jewellery is therefore bought back at 374,40 €.
What is the buyback price of 9-carat gold today?
On 04/11/2026 at 17:31, 9-carat gold (375 ‰) is bought back at 37,44 €/g at the office of our refinery, in Dottignies. This price follows the live gold price and is updated several times a day; it is net.
Is 9-carat gold real gold?
Yes: 375 thousandths of fine gold, a legal standard, hallmarked “375” or “9K”. It is bought back at the weight of gold it contains, 37,44 €/g today, after verification at the laboratory.
Why is 9-carat gold worth half as much as 18-carat?
Because it contains half as much fine gold: 375 thousandths against 750. For the same weight, 37,44 €/g against 79,88 €/g today; the price follows the content, nothing else.
How do you tell a 9-carat jewel from a gold-plated one?
By the hallmark (“375” or “9K” against “GP”, “GF”, “plated”, “gold-filled”) and, in case of doubt, by the analysis at the laboratory, free of charge at the office: 9-carat gold is bought back at its gold weight, gold-plated jewellery is not.
Is a jewel with a worn or illegible hallmark still bought back?
Yes. The standard is not read, it is measured. A hallmark worn by decades of wear, a foreign jewel with unknown marks or a piece that was never hallmarked all take the same path as the others: touchstone at the front desk, then melting and assay by spectrometry at the laboratory. The seller is paid on the actually measured content of his lot, no more, no less. The absence of a hallmark, like the absence of an invoice, is never a ground for refusal or for a discount.
Is an appointment needed to sell 9-carat gold?
No. The appraisal and the sale take place without appointment, during the opening hours of the Dottignies (Mouscron) branch. An appointment is neither required nor necessary for jewellery, whatever its ordinary quantity: you come in with your pieces and your identity card, the weighing and the analysis take place before you, and you remain free to accept or to leave. Only lots of one kilo of gold and more are handled by appointment, with a personalised file, as the Gold Guide explains.
Is there a minimum quantity for selling 9-carat gold?
No. A single wedding ring, an orphaned earring, a broken clasp, a christening medal or dental gold is enough: each object is weighed and paid for the fine gold it contains, at the content measured by the laboratory. Retail buyback is part of the trade of the Fonderie-Raffinerie, just like large lots; no lot is too small to be analysed, and the appraisal remains free and without obligation whatever the size of the lot presented.
