How the naira price is calculated
Gold trades globally in troy ounces (about 31.1 grams). The per-gram naira price is roughly: (gold price in USD per ounce ÷ 31.1) × the current USD→NGN rate. That gives the spot value of pure gold — the baseline every dealer works from.
Purity changes the price
- 24k is ~99.9% pure — the full spot value.
- 22k is ~91.6% pure — about 0.916 of the 24k price.
- 18k is 75% pure — about 0.75 of the 24k price.
Why a Lagos dealer quotes more
Jewellers and dealers add a premium for craftsmanship, refining, margin and risk, so a retail per-gram price sits above the pure spot calculation. The spot figure tells you the fair baseline; the premium is what you negotiate.
