Why a shop quotes more
This page shows what the gold in a piece is worth at the international (spot) price. No shop sells at that price: bars and coins carry a premium for fabrication and margin, and jewellery adds a making charge on top.
To compare, divide a shop's price by the grams of pure gold in the piece and set it against the per-gram price above. Selling works the other way round: expect to be paid below spot.
If you are keeping the gold
Physical gold and gold ETFs pay nothing while you hold them. The real ways to earn a yield on gold, and what they pay, are in Does gold pay interest?.
Keeping gold rather than spending it? Bars and jewellery earn nothing while you hold them. Gold held as XAUT in a TopNod wallet earns up to 20% APY until Nov 19 — at most $5.77 on 10 g of pure gold ($1,304.20) this round, no lockup. How Hold-to-Earn works →
