Precious Metals

Precious Metal Value Estimator

Estimate the material value of your jewellery based on the current world-market price, without obligation. The calculation applies to the pure precious metal only – without stones.

Pure Material Value (world market)
—
Pure metal value – not the payout amount.

Note: This calculation is a non-binding estimate based on the current world-market price and applies only to the pure precious metal without stones. Stones, clasps made of other materials, solder and workmanship are not taken into account. The material value shown is not the payout amount: the actual buy-in price may be lower for material-related reasons (including melting and refining costs and the trade margin) and is always determined bindingly on site after professional inspection and weighing.

How the displayed value is calculated

The calculator takes the current world market price per gram of fine gold, multiplies it by the fineness of your alloy and by the weight. Example: 10 grams of 585 gold contain 5.85 grams of fine gold. The result is the pure material value – an orientation, not an offer.

What affects the actual purchase price

On top of the material value come costs deliberately left out of the calculator: melting and refining the old gold, testing, processing and the trade margin. Stones, clasps of other metals and solder do not count towards the precious metal value. That is why we quote a binding price only after testing and weighing in store.

What to bring

For a valuation you need nothing but the piece itself. For a sale your ID is enough. Receipts, certificates or original cases help but are not required. With inherited pieces all heirs should agree – more under heirloom jewellery.

How we test

We determine the fineness non-destructively by X-ray fluorescence and weigh every piece on calibrated scales in front of you. Hallmarks are an indication, not proof – which is why we measure. How to read hallmarks yourself is explained in our guide to hallmarks and ayar.
