    Its more to do with the weight of the gold,its actual carat and the price of gold on the world stock markets at the moment.

    Try a few places and get a price is what I would say, I'm in the UK my other half went with some to cash for gold and was offered a price that was 5 times less than what a local jeweler offered,

    Maybe they see value in the jewelery and not just the gold I don't know, but we have tended to go with a Jewelers ever since.

    that's pretty decent considering the spot price would be about €17 per gram

    The cash for gold offer the going price for melted gold.

    The jeweller paid for the artistic qualities.

    It's like someone buying the Michelangelo statue with the intention of smashing it to bits and using it on their driveway, as opposed to a collector buying it as a statue; the later would pay more.
