@@00Video1 I don't want to be disrespectful, but what are you talking? In the moment a gram of 24 karat gold cost 50 Euro. And the jeweler can't sell his gold for the actual gold price, because otherwise he would loose money, because producing a chain costs money too... So how much money does CMG takes for a gram of gold from a processed chain. Did you understand me now?
@@GABRIEL_G1 24 Karat means 99,9% of the weight is gold. So if the weight of the chain is 400g, so the Gold is 390g. Actually the Gold in Germany is 45€ per gramm. Just the gold From the chain is 45€/g*390g expensive. So just add some work an win factors on top, youve got the Price.
If we wanted a 24 k chain would it be better if we got the gold our selves then give it to you to transform into chain or just buy your chain? Does it make a difference?
