Pennyweight (Jewelers' Traditional Unit)
Introduction : The pennyweight is a small unit from the troy weight system, which is used for precious metals. One pennyweight equals 24 grains, or about 1.56 grams. The symbol 'dwt' comes from 'denarius weight,' a reference to an old Roman coin. Jewelers in the past used pennyweights for weighing gold, silver, and small gemstones. Today, the pennyweight is less common than grams or troy ounces, but it still appears in some jewelry stores and pawn shops. For people who buy and sell scrap gold, the pennyweight offers a handy middle size between the tiny grain and the larger troy ounce.
History & Origin : The pennyweight has a name that tells its story. In medieval England, a silver penny coin was supposed to weigh exactly 24 grains. That weight became known as a pennyweight. The pennyweight became part of the troy weight system, which was used for coins, precious metals, and medicines. There were 20 pennyweights in a troy ounce and 240 pennyweights in a troy pound. This system lasted for centuries in England and America. The United States Mint used troy weights for coin making until 1828. As the metric system spread, the pennyweight faded from official use. However, the name lives on in the symbol 'dwt,' which stands for 'denarius weight' from the Roman coin that started it all. The pennyweight is a small piece of history that still weighs precious metals today.
Current Use : The pennyweight is most commonly found in jewelry stores and pawn shops that buy used gold. A jeweler might say a gold ring weighs 5 pennyweights instead of 7.8 grams. Pawn shops sometimes post their gold buying prices per pennyweight. Gold scrap buyers, who melt down old jewelry for the metal, often use pennyweights in their calculations. Some jewelry makers, especially older ones, still think in pennyweights when designing pieces. The unit is also used in some coin collecting circles for very old coins. Online gold trading forums discuss prices in dollars per pennyweight. While grams are taking over, the pennyweight refuses to disappear completely. For people in the gold trade, knowing pennyweights is like knowing a secret language of value.
