About this calculator
The pennyweight (dwt) is a small unit within the troy weight system, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce, or exactly 1.55517384 grams (and 24 grains). Its name comes from its historical origin as the weight of an actual English silver penny, and while the coin is long gone, the unit survives specifically in the precious-metals trade because a full troy ounce is too coarse a unit for pricing small jewelry items.
Jewelers and goldsmiths use pennyweight to weigh and price gold and silver findings, chains, and small cast pieces — a jewelry scale is typically switchable between grams and dwt for this reason — converting to grams whenever a customer, refiner, or overseas supplier expects the metric figure instead.
