Gold & silver price calculator
Check an indicative intrinsic metal value in GBP using current gold or silver spot pricing. Enter the weight and purity of your item to estimate its underlying precious-metal value before requesting Imperial Time's specialist buying valuation.
A branded watch, signed jewellery, diamonds, gemstones, collectability or craftsmanship can make an item worth more than its raw metal content. Do not scrap a potentially valuable piece before specialist assessment.
Calculate your metal value
Estimate only, not a purchase offer or guaranteed price. Spot and FX prices can move, third-party data may be delayed, and an Imperial Time offer is confirmed only after specialist review and inspection. Stones, brand, condition and resale value are assessed separately.
How it works
Send the details
Tell us what you have and provide brand, model or reference, metal, hallmark, weight, certificates and clear photographs where available.
Specialist review
Our team considers current market conditions, precious-metal values and resale factors relevant to the item.
Inspection & final offer
We confirm authenticity, condition and relevant characteristics before making or confirming an offer.
Agree & get paid securely
Once the sale is agreed and documentation is completed, payment is made by bank transfer in line with our selling process.

Start online and a specialist can review your enquiry.
The more detail you provide, the easier it is for our specialists to understand the item before inspection.
Sell your luxury watch to a London specialist
Useful details include manufacturer, model, reference number, age, condition, service history, original box, papers or warranty card. Clear photographs of the dial, case, bracelet, clasp and documentation can help the initial review.
Watches without box or papers
Missing accessories do not automatically prevent an assessment. Send what you have and our team can advise what is required for inspection and authentication.
Sell gold, silver and precious-metal items in London
We assess gold, silver, platinum and palladium items alongside natural diamonds and fine jewellery. Helpful information includes the hallmark, carat or fineness, approximate weight, certificate details, brand or maker and photographs.
Broken, worn or inherited pieces
Precious-metal content, diamonds, gemstones, craftsmanship, brand and resale demand can all affect value, so do not assume an older or damaged item has only scrap value.

Questions before you sell
How can I get the best price for my gold in London?
Start with an accurate weight and hallmark or purity, then have the whole item assessed before treating it purely as scrap. Branded jewellery, diamonds, gemstones, craftsmanship and resale demand can add value beyond the intrinsic metal price. Imperial Time considers the relevant characteristics and current market conditions before confirming any buying offer.
What gold carats and hallmarks do you assess?
Common enquiries include 9ct or 9K gold marked 375, 14ct or 14K gold marked 585, 18ct or 18K gold marked 750, 22ct or 22K gold marked 916, and 24ct or 24K fine gold around 999 fineness. We can also review unmarked items subject to testing and inspection.
Do you buy Sterling Silver 925?
Yes, you can submit Sterling Silver 925 for assessment, together with other recognised silver finenesses such as 800, Britannia 958 and fine silver 999.
Is the live gold and silver calculator a guaranteed offer?
No. It estimates intrinsic metal value using current third-party spot pricing and GBP conversion data. It is not a binding purchase offer. Final buying prices require specialist assessment and can reflect testing, condition, stones, brand, collectability, resale demand and market movement.
What items can I ask Imperial Time to value?
You can submit enquiries for luxury watches, fine jewellery, natural diamonds, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, coins, bullion and other potentially valuable precious items.
Can I sell a watch without its original box or papers?
Yes. Box, papers, warranty cards and service records may affect value, but their absence does not automatically prevent an inspection or offer.
How is the final price confirmed?
The final offer depends on authenticity, condition, specification, precious-metal or stone characteristics and relevant market demand after inspection.
How is payment made?
Once an agreed transaction is completed, Imperial Time uses bank transfer in accordance with its selling process and required sale documentation.
Have something valuable to sell?
Check the metal value, then send the item details and photographs. Our team can review the enquiry and tell you the next step for a specialist buying valuation.
