How much 10k jewelry would have to be melted down to get one ounce of pure gold?

Answer by  stoneman23 (27)

10k gold will contain a little over 40% gold in its alloy. This means you would require a shade more than 2. 5 ounces of 10k gold to melt into 1 ounce of pure, 24k gold.

Sixty seven point nine eight (67. 98) grams of 10K jewelry should be melted down to get one ounce of pure gold.

10K has. 416 gold. Gold is priced per troy ounce, 31. 1 grams per ounce. You are not going to get rich selling your normal jewelry unless it has interest value.
