Gold price
This free tool shows the current market price of gold per gram and ounce (in dollars and lari) and, with a karat calculator, estimates the value of your gold. Enter the weight in grams and the karat (24k, 22k, 18k, 14k) and the value is worked out at the current price.
Source: cbar.az — official Central Bank of Azerbaijan bank-metal rates; the GEL price uses the official National Bank of Georgia (NBG) rate (refreshed hourly).
How it works
The gold price comes from the official bulletin of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBAR); if CBAR is unreachable, an open market source is used. Data is refreshed on the server once an hour. An ounce is converted to grams (1 ounce ≈ 31.1 g). The gold value = weight × karat purity × price per gram. Purity: 24k = 0.999, 22k = 0.916, 18k = 0.750, 14k = 0.585.
Example
For 10 grams of 18k gold, the value = 10 × 0.75 × (current price per gram). The result is based on the hourly-refreshed price.
Frequently asked questions
How often does the price update?
Once an hour on the server.
What is karat?
Gold purity: 24k is pure, 18k is 75%, 14k is 58.5% gold.
Is this a buy-back price?
No — it's the official CBAR (Central Bank of Azerbaijan) rate; a jeweller's price may differ.
Is the tool free?
Yes — completely free.
Does the weight of a stone or clasp count?
The calculator treats every gram you enter as gold, so weighing a stone-set ring, a watch or a chain with its clasp gives a figure higher than the real value. Subtract the stones, the clasp and any non-gold parts, and enter only the weight of the gold itself. A jeweller does the same when buying: the stone is valued separately, or not counted at all.
How much is 1 gram of gold today?
The live indicator on this page shows today's price of 1 gram of gold in manat (AZN), dollars (USD) and lari (GEL). It is based on the official Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBAR) bulletin and refreshes hourly. Use the calculator above to value a specific karat (999, 750 or 585).
What is the difference between 999, 750 and 585 gold?
The hallmark shows how much pure gold the alloy contains: 999 (24k) is nearly pure gold and the most valuable; 750 (18k) is 75% gold; 585 (14k) is 58.5% gold and the most common standard in jewellery. The higher the hallmark, the more a gram is worth.
Why does a jeweller's price differ from the market price?
The market (spot) price is the price of the raw metal itself. A jeweller adds workmanship, shop margin and the cost of other metals in the alloy, so finished jewellery always costs more than spot — while pawnshops and buy-back counters pay below it.
How do I check the gold price when buying or selling in Marneuli or Tbilisi?
Before a deal at the Marneuli bazaar or a Tbilisi jeweller, check the live 1-gram price in lari here — it uses the official National Bank of Georgia (NBG) exchange rate. The spot price is your starting point for negotiation: buy-back offers usually sit below it, finished pieces above it.
