Why a buyer pays less than this
The figure above is the metal content at spot. Spot is the price of pure, refined gold traded in bulk; your ring is an alloy, often with stones and solder in it. A buyer refines it, carries that cost, and takes a margin. An offer of 70–90% of the calculated value is normal. Below about 60%, walk away.
Scrap value is the floor, not the answer
If the piece holds a diamond, carries a maker's mark, or has any antique interest, scrap is the worst price it can fetch. Melting an Art Deco setting for its metal destroys most of what it was worth.
