- The example assigns 11.7 g of a 20 g, 14-karat bangle to gold and 8.3 g to other metals.
Field notes
The current Hidden Cost issue uses a 20 g, 14-karat bangle to distinguish its gold content from the other metals in the piece. The page attributes the 58.3% gold figure to karat fineness. Other visible entries ask whether Costco gold is cheaper than buying from a dealer and whether to wait for a price dip; a separate feature is presented as a scroll story about mined gold. The site also offers an archive and RSS.
