Weight converstion charts
for metals
Material Choice: The choice of metal vs. cost may be factored with the following tables:
Basic weights:
20 DWT (pennyweights) = 1 ounce
Pennyweights (DWT) x 1.55 = Weight in grams
1 pennyweight (1 DWT) = 1.55 grams
White gold and 14k yellow Gold both weigh the same

14k and white Gold are 13 times heaver than wax
18k Gold weighs 20% more than 14K Gold
Platinum weighs 70% more than 14k Gold

Wax to weight conversions
Wax weight x 13 = 14k Gold
Wax weight x 16 = 18k Gold
Wax weight x 23 = Platinum
