Although the weight of gold and silver is sometimes quoted in kilograms or grams, the official weight measurement to gauge the mass of precious metals is the troy ounce. One troy ounce (oz) equals 31.1034768 grams. Note that a troy ounce is not the same as an avoirdupois ounce (more commonly known as the kitchen ounce) which equals approximately 28.34 grams.
The purity of gold and silver is measured in millesimal fineness, which denotes the purity of the metal in parts per thousand. For example, the PAMP 100 gram gold bar contains a gold fineness of 999.9, which means that the bar is 99.99% pure gold. Another example, the $20 Double Eagle with a gross weight of 33.43624 grams contains a gold fineness of 900, which denotes a gold purity of 90% or 33.43 x 0.9 = 30.092 grams of pure gold.
In addition to fineness, the traditional purity measurement of gold is the karat (K). The highest karat rating is 24 and this equals or is greater than 99.9% pure gold. Gold jewellery in Europe most often contains a gold purity of 14 and 18 karats, which equals 14/24 = 58.3% and 18/24 = 75% pure gold respectively.
Tavex Guldkuvert® – Tavex Gold Envelope.
You can read more about these steps in our scrap gold FAQ.
A prepaid return envelope that you will you use to send the gold and the contract to Tavex. The return envelope is delivered to a PostNord service point.
The gold is checked to determine its purity. This is done in-house by Tavex gold experts with the help of acids to determine the purity of the gold. Gold is tested for its purity using a gold testing kit and compared against gold test sticks of known gold fineness to evaluate its purity. In most cases, gold jewelry has a purity of 18k or 14k. Tavex gold experts are experienced in valuing gold and have served tens of thousands of satisfied customers. Tavex is AAA-rated since 2016 by Bisnode
The gold is then weighed accurately using our finely calibrated weighing machines. Several readings are taken and it ensured that the scale is calibrated, to give the most accurate weight of the gold.
Once we know the purity of the gold and the weight of your gold, we calculate your total gold price. You are then notified of your gold value by email or telephone. We have transparent prices which are available online: https://tavex.se/en/sell-gold-via-tavexs-gold-envelope/. Our prices are updated continuously to ensure that the price offer we make is based on the current actual price of the gold in the market.
We offer transparent and market-leading prices from the smallest products and do not display misleading prices on our webpage, which unfortunately some gold traders are doing (by displaying prices on a webpage that are deceptively high but are only appliable for selling jewelry for more than 300 grams!) Generally, the average weight of the gold jewelry that we get is about 20-30 grams and the price for this offered by the competitor is deceptively low (less than half that is displayed). We encourage all customers to check Google reviews and Google search about the company that they want to sell gold to via the net before doing business.
All of this is done within 24 hours of Tavex receiving your Guldkuvert and valuing your gold!
We take our promise to deliver money to our customers within 24 hours of valuing your gold very seriously. We make express payments so money reaches your bank account as soon as possible.

The compensation is based on the weight registered by the Post Office on the receipt at the time of submission, deducting the weight of the Guldkuvert. The policyholders’ remuneration is based on the weight and current price for 18 karat gold*, unless otherwise stated in the submitted documents. A valid “gold agreement” is a precondition for being able to pay out the insurance compensation.
