It's not easy. Gold is weighed using the troy ounce, which is different to the ounce on your kitchen scales.

A troy ounce is 5760 grains, compared to 7000 grains for the standard 16 oz to the pound.

why don't you go to a jeweller who buys second-hand and say you are thinking of selling? I did this with some silver and he told me how much it weighed and what he'd give me - so I took it away again, but at least I know the weight now. I got £40 for an gold wedding ring a few weeks back, from that jeweller.
