Transcript

This is an educational audio preview. When reading a gold price, remember that a gram and an ounce are units of weight, while purity describes how much of the metal is gold. Two figures are not directly comparable until you check weight unit, purity, currency, and update time. Jewelry can also include making charges or other fees that differ from a raw-metal quote. Write these details beside each figure you encounter. This lesson does not provide a live price. Before a purchase or sale, consult the actual offer from the relevant provider.
