Don’t guess the price of gold jewelry. Know it — with Gold Buddy. Gold Buddy is your personal companion for understanding real gold prices when you’re buying jewelry. Whether you’re in a shop, market, or abroad on holiday, this app helps you calculate what a piece should cost — before you spend a single penny. Far too often, people walk away from a jewelry shop thinking they got a great deal, only to find out later they overpaid by hundreds. Not anymore. Gold Buddy empowers you with real-time gold prices, lets you choose your karat (24, 22, 21, 18), input the weight in grams, and instantly shows you a fair market price — including and excluding labour charges. This means you can immediately see: • The true gold value of the jewellery • The maximum price you should be paying (based on your local currency) • And the safe range to stay within when negotiating Tailored for buyers — not sellers Unlike many apps that show market data for investors, Gold Buddy is specifically built for people buying gold jewelry in real life. No graphs, no jargon — just quick, clear numbers that tell you what you need to know. Features designed to protect your wallet • Live gold pricing: Always up-to-date prices for 24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, and more • Smart price calculator: Enter grams and karat — get instant fair price suggestions • Multi-currency support: Switch between British Pounds, US Dollars, and Euros • Labour cost comparison: See the price with and without added labour fees • Save your session: Take a photo of the item, and Gold Buddy saves it along with all your inputs — karats, grams, currency, and pricing • Store as an image: Your entire calculation, with notes and the jewelry photo, saved as an image for future reference — no account or cloud required Whether you’re buying a wedding band, a small chain, or an investment piece abroad, Gold Buddy gives you clarity and confidence in the moment. Real-world use cases • You’re shopping in a gold market abroad, and want to avoid tourist markups • You’ve found a second-hand piece and want to check if the price is fair • A seller tells you it’s solid 22 karat — Gold Buddy helps you test that claim by showing the current per-gram value • You want to store purchase history or compare offers with a partner later Why Gold Buddy is different Most gold apps are designed for traders or investors. They don’t speak the language of a real buyer standing in a store, holding a piece of jewelry and wondering, “Am I being overcharged?” Gold Buddy is for the shopper — clear, fast, and accurate. No ads, no noise, no confusion. No internet? No problem Even if you’re offline, you can still access your saved entries, photos, and data. The app keeps everything local on your phone, so you’re never stuck without your saved sessions. Peace of mind in your pocket Gold Buddy is here to help you avoid guesswork, overpriced pieces, and shady deals. Whether you’re buying for yourself or someone else, make sure you walk away with a deal that’s fair. Download Gold Buddy today and never buy gold blind again.
