1 stone equals 204.16642853060526 troy ounce
Formula: oz t = st × 204.167
The stone (14 pounds avoirdupois) and troy ounce represent two distinct weight measurement systems that frequently intersect in precious metals and jewelry industries. With 1 stone equaling approximately 229.8 troy ounces, precise conversion is essential for accurate pricing, inventory management, and international gemstone trading where troy ounces dominate the market.
In precious metals trading, a single troy ounce error on gold or silver can represent hundreds of dollars in lost value. Jewelers and gemologists work primarily in troy ounces, while body weight and some commodity measurements use stones. Regulatory compliance in international precious metals commerce requires accurate conversions between these systems to prevent fraud, ensure fair pricing, and maintain audit trails for high-value transactions.
Bullion dealers and precious metals traders convert between stones and troy ounces daily when sourcing materials from UK suppliers or selling to international markets. Gold and silver prices are universally quoted per troy ounce, making accurate conversion critical for profit margin calculations. A single stone of gold at current market rates represents approximately 15,000-20,000 USD, making conversion errors financially catastrophic.
Jewelry appraisers and gemologists in the UK and Commonwealth nations must convert stone measurements to troy ounces for insurance valuations, estate assessments, and international sales. Gemstone weight significantly impacts value—a 1-carat gemstone at 1 troy ounce equals approximately 200 carats. Accurate conversion ensures proper insurance coverage and fair market valuations for high-net-worth items.

One stone equals exactly 229.8 troy ounces (more precisely 229.7975 troy ounces). This conversion derives from the definition: 1 stone = 14 pounds avoirdupois = 6,350.29348 grams; 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams. Therefore, 6,350.29348 ÷ 31.1034768 = 229.7975 troy ounces. This differs from avoirdupois ounces (1 stone = 224 avoirdupois ounces) because troy ounces are heavier, making them unsuitable for general weight but ideal for precious metals where precision matters.
Troy ounces became the precious metals standard because they provide superior precision for high-value commodities. The troy system uses 12 ounces per pound (versus 16 avoirdupois), allowing finer weight divisions historically essential when weighing gold and silver. This system originated in medieval France and became standardized across European precious metals markets. The stone, designed for bulk commodities and body weight, lacks the precision needed for valuable materials where small weight variations represent significant monetary differences. International precious metals exchanges (COMEX, LBMA) adopted troy ounces as the universal standard, making it the global language of precious metals trading.
