What is it
worth?
Weigh it, tell us the hallmark, and we will tell you exactly how much fine metal is in it — that part costs nothing and takes a few seconds. What we would pay for it is a figure we give to a person.

What is actually in it
Choose the hallmark and put it on the scales. The fine content appears here as you type — no account, nothing asked for.

Where the figure sits
What it contains is arithmetic and it is yours. What we would pay for it is a commercial position, and we give that to a person rather than to a browser.

Valuation for insurance
An insurance valuation is a different number from the one above, and deliberately so. What we would pay is what the metal and the market will bear today; what you insure for is what it would cost to replace the piece, at retail, from a jeweller of the same standing.
It is written work rather than a figure on a screen — the piece is examined, measured, photographed and described, and you receive a document your insurer will accept. Bring it in, or call +44 20 0000 0000 and we will tell you what it involves.
