How is gold recycling price calculated? Where to trade gold in Taiwan?

Gold is often considered a hedge against inflation, but its price fluctuates daily with international markets and can rise or fall in the short term; this is neutral information, not investment advice.

Usually based on the 4Cs (carat, clarity, color, cut) and a certificate from an accredited institution; it's recommended to keep the certificate.

Check the international gold price and spot rate, confirm purity (e.g., 9999, 999), and compare fabrication fee deductions and recycling prices among multiple goldsmiths.

Generally, gold bars/bullion have a recycling price closer to the gold spot, while gold jewelry is subject to fabrication and loss deductions, so per-gram recycling price is usually lower; subject to the store's daily quote.
