Quick answer

A gold class ring is worth its gold weight × karat purity × the spot price. Look inside the band: 10K and 14K are the most common. Stamps like Siladium, Valadium, Lustrium, Celestrium, or Ultrium mean it isn’t gold. Synthetic stones usually add little, so the gold is where the value is.

How to read the stamp

  • 10K / 417 — 41.7% gold. The most common class-ring gold.
  • 14K / 585 — 58.5% gold.
  • 18K / 750 — 75% gold. Less common.
  • Siladium, Valadium, Lustrium, Celestrium, Ultrium, Lazon — trade names for non-gold alloys. They have little or no metal value.
  • 925 / Sterling — silver, not gold.

Stamps wear off. If yours is unreadable, we test it free with an XRF analyzer — see how we test.

Do the stones matter?

Most class-ring stones are synthetic or lab-created and add little resale value. We weigh the gold without the stone, or account for it, and show you the math.

Selling more than one ring?

Bring them all. We separate by karat so each is paid at its own purity. See what gold is worth per gram.
