Why a dealer’s price is higher
The big number comes from the world market. A dealer or jeweler adds:
Dealer premium: A dealer sells above the spot price and buys back below it, and each dealer sets its own spread.
Sales tax: Rules depend on your state, so check with your state tax agency.
Jewelry costs: A finished piece also carries labor, design and retail costs that have nothing to do with the gold value.
