Understand the number
Spot price, intrinsic value and dealer offers are different
Spot price is a market reference for fine precious metal, commonly quoted per troy ounce. Intrinsic value estimates the pure precious-metal content after applying purity. A dealer offer is a commercial transaction price and can also reflect testing, refining, handling, market risk and margin.
Transparent methodology
How the calculator works
Indicative intrinsic value = weight in grams × precious-metal purity × available fine-metal value per gram
Weights entered as troy ounces are converted using 1 troy oz = 31.1034768g before purity is applied. Read the full precious-metal calculator methodology.
Whole-item value
Could your jewellery be worth more than scrap?
Raw metal value is only one component of value. Signed or branded jewellery, luxury watches, diamond or gemstone-set pieces, antique and period jewellery, unusual craftsmanship, coins and collectable objects can command a premium above intrinsic metal content.
