How to convert grams to don
Because one don is 3.75g, you convert grams to don by dividing the gram value by 3.75. For example, 3.75g is 1 don, 7.5g is 2 don, and 37.5g is 10 don (one nyang). Values often don't divide evenly: 10g is 10÷3.75≈2.67 don, and 100g is about 26.67 don. A 100g gold bar is therefore roughly 26.7 don. When the result is a decimal, jewelers usually round to two decimal places.
When you turn grams back into don
International quotes and gold bars are stated in grams, but Korean jewelers and older relatives talk in don, so converting grams back to don is common. If a ring weighs 11.25g on the scale, you convert to don to confirm it is exactly a 3-don piece. It also helps when you weigh an inherited gold item and want to gauge how many don it is worth. Many people who see a per-gram gold price online convert it to the familiar per-don price to compare. Since different generations and shops use different units, two-way conversion is often needed.
Reference points and a caveat
Key anchors are 3.75g=1 don, 37.5g=1 nyang=10 don, and 3750g=1 gwan=100 don. Note that a scale weight may include gemstones or decoration, so the measured grams can differ from the pure-gold don count. Scale tolerance or wear can also make the measured weight slightly below the nominal weight. To price an item, convert grams to don, then multiply by the per-don rate. As long as the division is exact, the gram-to-don value is precise.
