Weighing Gold

[smurfchops]

I have just bought some digital weighing scales from ebay (an example below of the same as I bought, although not from the same seller). I am not sure if I use the 'g' for 'gram' facility. the other options are : ozt; dwt; Ct; Oz; gn. What do these stand for ? I want to get the weight of my jewellery correct before I sell it on ebay.

Precious metals are generally weighed in Troy ounces, on your scale - ozt

Thanks, I'm getting a bit confused, someone else mentioned Troy Ounces, but I will use Grams. thanks all.

dwt is pennyweight.

The gold price is quoted in Troy ounces worldwide which is why it is easier to check your value. Troy is ozt on your scales.

To convert the price to grams divide by 31.1034768
