What is a Gram? Silver weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The gram is the everyday retail unit for precious metals outside the English-speaking wholesale market. One gram equals 1 grams, or 0.03215 troy ounces, which at today's silver spot price works out to — CNY.
Where it is used. Jewellers, pawn shops and scrap buyers all quote per gram, and small investment bars start at 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g and 100 g. The unit is the trading standard in Europe, Middle East and most retail markets.
Pricing conventions. Premiums rise sharply as gram size falls: a 1 g bar can cost 20–40% over melt value, while a 100 g bar sits within a few percent of spot. Scrap offers are usually a discount to the gram price by karat. Silver is bulkier per unit of value, so quotes in small traditional units are usually a conversion, while real trade happens in kilogram and 1 000 oz bars.
Good to know. Gram pricing is also how most karat calculations are done: multiply the gram price by the purity fraction (for example 0.750 for 18K).

Buying Silver in China: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per gram, the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Chinese Yuan. Physical buyers in China pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Shanghai, through the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Buyers there generally watch the Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price in yuan per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are taxed as ordinary goods, with platinum popular for bridal jewellery. Silver is bulkier and cheaper per unit, so shipping, storage and consumption taxes matter far more to the final price than they do for gold. That is why the shop price of silver in CNY can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same gram of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in China are Shanghai Gold Exchange members, bank gold accumulation plans, Chow Tai Fook and other chains and online platforms. The products most often quoted locally include 50 g and 100 g bars, Panda coins, 999 gold jewellery, SGE Au99.99 contracts.
Local conventions. Mainland buyers price gold per gram and by the metric tael (50 g); the SGE benchmark can trade at a premium or discount to London. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per gram with the live silver price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline CNY quote.
