Nothing you weigh, measure or type is sent anywhere. There is no account, no email wall, and no buyer waiting at the end of any of it.

Melt value at live market prices, and — the part buyer-run calculators leave out — what somebody is actually likely to hand you for it.

Sterling, coin, Britannia and fine silver at the live silver price — including why small silver items are often worth less than the trouble of selling them.
How much is a platinum ring worth?
PT950, PT900 and PD950 at live prices. Both metals are denser than gold, which is why the weight surprises people.
How much is a gold sovereign worth?
Sovereigns, Krugerrands, Eagles, Napoleons and more at the live gold price — and why a one-ounce coin weighs more than an ounce.

Weigh a piece, pick the stamp, and see its melt value at the live silver price — plus whether the weight looks typical for its type.

What is the maximum gold loan I can get in India?
The RBI’s regulated loan-to-value ceilings — 85%, 80% or 75% depending on the loan size — applied to your gold’s value at today’s price.
How much is a mixed karat gold lot worth?
Weigh each karat you have sorted the lot into, and see the melt value of each group and the whole lot together at the live price.
What size is it?
Rings, bracelets, bangles and watches. Every national scale is a convention laid over a measurement in millimetres, so these all work from the millimetres out.
How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?
Turn a wrist measurement into a bracelet length at three fits — and work out the bangle that will actually go over your hand.

Convert between US, UK, European, Japanese and millimetre sizes — starting from the only measurement that is not a convention.
What size watch should I buy for my wrist?
A proportionate case diameter from your wrist measurement — a styling convention, clearly labelled as one, not a fitting rule.
What size hoop earrings should I get?
Huggie to oversized, drawn to the same millimetre scale, so the size names on a listing mean something concrete.
Stones
Carat is a weight, not a size, and the two do not track each other. These convert between them, and cover hardness, birthstones and pearls.
What is the Mohs hardness of a gemstone?
Every common gem ranked by scratch resistance, and the difference between hardness and toughness that costs people stones.

The modern list and the older traditional list side by side, for every month — they disagree more often than people expect.
What size are Akoya, freshwater, Tahitian and South Sea pearls?
The millimetre range each pearl type is actually cultured in, shown as ranges because a single "typical size" would hide how much they overlap.

A metric carat is exactly 0.2 grams — convert to grams, points and milligrams, and see why a carat and a karat are not the same thing.
What size is a gemstone in mm for a given carat weight?
Carat weight to millimetres for every common species and shape, rescaled by each mineral’s own density rather than assuming everything weighs like a diamond.
The metal itself
Purity, alloys, density and the units gold is bought in — grams in one country, pennyweight in another, tola in a third.

Grams, pennyweight, troy ounces, tola and baht — the units gold is actually quoted in, and what each is worth today.

Convert karats to parts per thousand and back, and see how much actual gold sits inside each standard.
Is a troy ounce the same as a regular ounce?
Convert grams, troy ounces, pennyweight, grains, tola and baht — and see exactly why a troy ounce and a kitchen ounce are not the same weight.
Is platinum heavier than gold?
Published densities for every metal jewellery is actually made from, plus what an identical-size piece would weigh cast in a different one.
