To find the weight of an article in a metal different from that in which it is now made:
  1. Find the present metal in the first vertical column.
  2. Multiply the present weight by the factor in the same horizontal row under the new metal.
    Example: A sterling silver ring weight 8 grams, what will it weigh in 14kt?
  3. Along the horizontal row marked "Stg" in the first column under the heading 14kt we find 1.25
    8 x 1.25=10 grams, weight in 14kt
