A simple gold band typically weighs between 2 and 4 grams, so the 3 g value above is a useful proxy for the metal inside a typical ring. Light box chains and small hoop earrings also land in this range.
That makes this page handy for sanity-checking a jeweler’s quote: subtract the 3 g metal value from the asking price and what remains is making charges, stones, and margin. If the gap looks large relative to the workmanship, it pays to compare shops.
