18ct Gold Price: Precious Pussycats and Per Gram Payouts
Paws up if you’ve got posh gold jewellery purring away in a dusty drawer?! That 18ct sparkle might be sitting pretty, but it's time to ask yourself: what's it actually worth? Here at Cats4Gold, we say ditch the dazzle and pounce on a Persian - or at least, imagine it. Because while we can't actually send you a Siamese for your Sovereigns, we can entertain you while highlighting the pitfalls of precious metal pawning.
Our parody is packed with pussycat puns, but behind the mewsing lies a serious message: if gold buyer won't tell you the 18ct gold price per gram up front, it's time to hiss off and exit stage left.
What is 18ct Gold?
18ct gold (or 18 karat for our fur-midable friends abroad) is the upper-crust of everyday gold alloys. With 75% pure gold and just 25% added metals like copper or silver, it's the feline equivalent of a pedigreed Persian - luxe, luminous, and a little more high-maintenance.
Jewellery made from 18ct gold is prized for its rich yellow colour, luscious lustre, and higher intrinsic value. You'll find it flaunting itself in rings, pendants, earrings, and high-end cat collars (pussibly).
And whether it's yellow, white, or rose, it all holds the same purr-ity: 75% gold content. So when it comes to value, don't let anyone tabby-shame your white gold for being less than your yellow—it's still the same purrcentage of precious.
The Perils of Posting: The Freepost Fiasco
Let's talk tails of woe. You've got your bling. You post it off in one of those "freepost" cash-for-gold envelopes. You wait. And then? You get a pitiful payout that wouldn't buy a flea collar.
Why? Because many of these companies operate under the shady slogan of "Send now, we'll tell you later!" They don't quote the 18ct price they pay - sometimes just the bullion market 18ct rate, which isn't what they'll offer. They don't quote real-time rates. And they definitely don't give you a fair shake of the whiskers.
These feline fakers often:
- Hide the price-per-gram behind vague phrases like "great rates!"
- Pay a pittance compared to the day's gold value
- Charge for return postage if you decline their dismal deal and you haven't sent them the required minimum of gold
If the price isn't public and purr-rinted in black and white? Walk away. Or better yet, scamper.
Transparency is Fur-midable
If you're going to part with your pawsh trinkets, you deserve a process that's as clear as a cat's intentions at 3am. Reputable buyers - like the lovely folks at Gold Traders - don't play paw-sies with pricing. They:
- Display their 18ct gold price per gram daily (not buried under fur-fluff)
- Offer no hidden fleas for refining, testing or returning
- Pay exactly what they promise
Right meow, our calculator cat tells us they're paying the princely price of £54.83 / g for 18 carat gold.

Hallmarking Hints
Wondering if your shiny trinket is really 18ct? Don't go sniffing around in the dark. Check for the hallmark. If you need help, check out this jolly good gold hallmark wizard.
Thanks to the UK's strict hallmarking laws, any item over 1g must carry one. So if your sparkly bracelet bears that magic mark, you've got the real deal - and it deserves a real valuation.
The Tail End
We know, we know—Cats4Gold is a cuddly con. We're not really going to post you a puss. But we do want to pounce on the problems that plague real-world sellers. Vague pricing, mystery margins, and poor payouts are all too common in the cash-for-gold jungle.
Don't let your 18ct pieces fall victim to a back-alley barter. You wouldn't let your kitty be adopted by someone who won't tell you their name, right? Same goes for your jewellery. Know the per gram price. Know the terms. Know where your gold is going.
And if you decide to treat yourself with the money? Get a cat tower. Or an actual cat. Name it Nugget. Or Duchess. Or Kevin.
Because whether you're hoarding heirlooms or clearing clutter, never settle for less than a paw-sitively fair deal.
