Before you come in
The questions we get asked most about selling gold.
Is the estimate what I’ll actually be paid?
It’s a guide based on today’s published per‑gram prices and the weight you enter. The final figure is based on the net precious‑metal weight once any stones, clasps and non‑precious parts are excluded, and on the carat we confirm in store. We’ll show you the working.
What if my jewellery has stones in it?
We work out the weight of the precious metal on its own, so the stones aren’t counted in the per‑gram figure. Bring the piece in and we’ll show you exactly how we separate the two.
Do I need to bring identification?
Yes. You’ll need to prove you’re over 18 — a photo‑card driving licence or passport is ideal. If you have neither, phone your local shop first and we’ll tell you what else we can accept.
What sort of gold do you buy?
Gold in any condition — broken chains, single earrings, worn rings, scrap, sovereigns, Krugerrands and coin collections. We buy silver and platinum too. It doesn’t need to be in one piece and it doesn’t need to be hallmarked.
Do I have to sell once I’ve had it valued?
No. The valuation is free and there’s no obligation either way. Plenty of people come in to find out what something is worth and take it home again.
Do you share my details with anyone else?
No. We don’t pass your details to third parties. We’re registered with the UK Data Protection Service and we only use what you give us to prepare your valuation.
