Troy ounce against the ounce you already know

A troy ounce is 31.103 grams. The avoirdupois ounce used for food and post is 28.35 grams. Precious metals have always been quoted in troy, so every spot price you see anywhere is per troy ounce.

If you weigh gold on a kitchen scale set to ounces you are reading avoirdupois, and your gold will appear to be worth about 9.7% more than it is. This single confusion is behind a lot of disappointed sellers.

When the ounce is the useful unit

For a single ring the ounce is an awkward unit and grams are easier. It becomes useful once you are dealing with a full jewellery box or a dealer lot, where a troy ounce of 14k scrap is a meaningful quantity to price and to ship.
