What this sheet is for

Know what silver and gold you actually hold, what a job consumed, and what it cost you at the time — so pricing and insurance rest on a record rather than a guess.

Who it is for

Jewellers, silversmiths, goldsmiths and stone setters working from a home bench or a small studio.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the studio, the period the sheet covers and which scale you weigh on.
  2. Log every metal movement — bought, used on a job, scrap returned — with the weight in or out and the running total.
  3. Record the price you paid on the day, in your own currency.
  4. List stones individually or by parcel, with enough detail to identify them.
  5. Note where each stone went so a client's setting can be traced back.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Silver, gold and other metals by weight, and stones by the piece — what came in, what went into a job, what is left, and what it cost you at the time.

Your prices, your purities. Metal is bought at the price of the day, and the price of the day is yours to write in. Nothing here sets a rate, a purity or a value; how stock has to be recorded for hallmarking, tax or insurance is a question for the rules where you are.

Write-on lines: Studio / maker · Sheet covers · Weighed on (scale)

Metal — one row per movement in or out, running weight in the last column

Table, 5 rows: Date · Metal & purity · Form · In · Out · Job / ref · Cost (yours) · Running weight

Stones — one row per stone or parcel

Table, 5 rows: Date · Stone · Cut / shape · Size / carat · Qty · Supplier / origin · Cost (yours) · Used on / left

Questions

Why is there no metal price or purity on the sheet?

Because the price is the price of the day you bought it and the purity is whatever you ordered. Both go in your own hand. Nothing here sets a value, and whether your records have to meet any hallmarking, tax or insurance requirement is a question for the rules where you are.

Should scrap and lemel be recorded?

It is worth it. Scrap that goes back to a refiner or into a melt is still metal you paid for. Enter it as a movement out with the job it came from, and as a movement in if it comes back as grain or credit.
