How These Presets Were Estimated
The weight ranges above are broad US market estimates, cross-checked against multiple independent jeweler and appraisal sources — they are not a measurement of your specific piece. Actual weight varies by exact design, band width, ring size, karat and manufacturer. If you know your item's real weight, enter it directly instead of using the preset.

Frequently Asked Questions
It varies a lot by design, but as a rough guide, men's wedding bands typically weigh 5-8 grams and women's wedding bands typically weigh 2-4 grams — width, ring size and karat all shift this. Always weigh the actual piece for an accurate figure; the preset here is a starting estimate, not a measurement.
No — it only prices the gold content. Diamonds, gemstones and other non-gold materials have no scrap gold value and are excluded entirely, so a ring's total worth (with stones) can be much higher than the gold-only estimate shown here.
The presets are broad market ranges cross-checked against multiple jeweler sources, not a measurement of your specific piece — actual weight depends on the exact design, band width, ring size, karat, and manufacturer.
