Getting your gold jewellery to us

From home

Our safe and secure gold courier options are insured up to £20,000 in transit. Send your gold today and we could receive it tomorrow, with a final offer that lets you complete the transaction in as little as 48 to 72 hours.

Valuing your gold jewellery

Gold is often straightforward to value, and our specialists weigh up a few key factors against today's pricing:

  • Purity: the carat in the hallmark shows how pure the gold is. 24ct is 99.9% pure, while 9ct is just 37.5%, so the same weight of 24ct is worth far more
  • Weight: gold is priced by weight, usually in grams. Any gemstones are assessed separately
  • Spot price: your offer is based on the live gold price on the day

Tips for selling gold jewellery

How to sell gold jewellery for the highest price

Sell when gold prices are strong

The price of gold changes daily, so selling when the gold market is performing well can increase the amount you receive for your jewellery.

Know your jewellery's gold purity

Gold jewellery is valued based on its weight and purity, with hallmarks such as 9ct, 14ct, 18ct and 22ct indicating the gold content. Higher purity pieces generally achieve higher valuations.

Include any original packaging or certificates

If you're selling branded jewellery or pieces with diamonds or gemstones, having the original box, certificates or receipts can help verify authenticity and may increase the offer.

Sell to an experienced gold jewellery buyer

Choose a reputable buyer with expertise in valuing both the gold content and any additional value from craftsmanship, designer brands or precious gemstones, ensuring you receive a competitive and transparent offer.
