How can I work out the value of my gold?

Simple, just weigh your gold item in grams and check the 'hallmark' for the carat value, then put the data in our gold calculator which uses the most up to date gold prices to value your item and automatically calculates our 7.5% commission from the total so you know the exact amount we will pay for your Gold or Silver items. If you cannot see the hallmark or do not have accurate weighing equipment don’t worry, we will carefully weigh and determine the gold value for your gold when we receive it.

I don’t know how much my gold weighs

If you do not have accurate weighing equipment don’t worry, when we receive your gold we will carefully weigh it to the nearest 0.1 gram to ensure you get the best price possible.

How do I know you have received my gold?

Upon us receiving your gold, we will email a confirmation of receipt. Once the gold has been tested we will contact you soon after with our offer confirmed.

What about gemstones in my jewellery?

We do not buy gemstones. However we will remove them for you and send them back to you, should you wish but we attach no value to them.

Do you buy silver as well as gold?

Yes, please contact us with the details if you have silver you wish to sell.
