A gold in any form that is enclosed within many materials are called scrap gold. Even gold coins can be outlined as scrap gold. Whenever we hear this term, scrap gold, we usually think of the gold that is contained in many technology products like that in the computer, broken bracelets and other jewelleries, or cell phones. The gold content in any of these items vary. There are 24Karat gold which is what they call pure gold. There are also 18K, 16K and 14K gold.
If you are planning to sell your scrap gold, first of all you need to know what the K of the gold you own is. After you had determined the K, weigh your jewellery and take the amalgamate weight. Doing this will give you an idea on the value of the cost of gold that you have.
