In jewelry design and production, we’ve noticed that many clients and industry peers often struggle with metal weight conversions and density-to-price ratios, frequently requiring multiple sources for reference. To simplify this process for everyone—and for ourselves—we’ve created this one-stop tool page. Here, you can quickly convert weights between wax models and metals, view real-time metal reference prices and densities, and streamline your workflow.

Calculation Formula: Target Weight = Original Weight × (Target Wax Factor ÷ Original Wax Factor)
All conversion factors are derived from your complete Excel matrix for accurate casting calculations.
📊 Metal Density Reference Table
The densities below are theoretical approximations derived from this tool’s conversion factors (assuming wax density is 1 g/cm³) and are specific to the calculations on this page. The far-right column provides standard pure metal density for reference.

| 14K Yellow Gold | 13.05 | 13.05 | ~13.5 (Yellow Alloy) |
| 18K White Gold | 14.51 | 14.51 | ~15.0 (White Alloy) |
| 18K Yellow Gold | 15.15 | 15.15 | 15.2 – 15.6 (Yellow Alloy) |
| 18K Red Gold | 15.30 | 15.30 | 15.2 – 15.6 (Red Alloy) |
| ذهب عيار 22 قيراط | 17.63 | 17.63 | ~17.8 (91.7% Gold) |
| PT900 Platinum | 18.57 | 18.57 | ~20.5 (90% Platinum) |
| ذهب عيار 24 قيراط | 19.00 | 19.00 | 19.32 (Pure Gold) |
| PT950 Platinum | 21.00 | 21.00 | ~21.5 (95% Platinum) |
ملاحظة: The “Wax Conversion Factor” is the value from the “Wax” row in your Excel sheet and can be directly used for “Wax Weight → Metal Weight” calculations. All conversions within this tool are based on this coefficient system.
