What is the best way to sell gold in the UK?

Compare offers, ask how they are worked out, and use a buyer that pays promptly. We give free valuations from photos, and we pay the same day by bank transfer after inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Gold

How much will I get for my gold?

We look at every piece individually and make you an offer subject to inspection and confirmation of condition and overall quality. Send photographs for a free valuation, then post it, book a free insured collection or bring it to Mayfair or Braintree by appointment. If you accept our offer we pay the same day by bank transfer; if not, we return it at our cost.

How does the selling process work?

It's simple: (1) Send us photos of your gold for a free valuation, (2) Visit our Mayfair or Braintree office, post with insured delivery, or arrange a home collection, (3) We test your gold in front of you and value it on its quality and condition, then pay you the same day.

Do you buy broken or damaged gold jewellery?

Yes, we buy all gold regardless of condition, broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, tangled necklaces, and damaged pieces. The gold content has value regardless of the item's condition. We also buy gold coins and gold oddments.

How quickly will I be paid?

We offer same-day payment. If you visit our office, you'll receive payment immediately after accepting our offer. For postal and collection services, payment is made the same day we receive and assess your items.

Is it safe to post my gold?

Yes. We provide fully insured shipping and collection services. Your items are covered from the moment they leave your hands until they're assessed at our premises. If you decline our offer, we return your items at no cost, also fully insured.

What is gold-filled or gold-plated jewellery worth?

Gold-filled items contain a thin layer of gold bonded to base metal, while gold-plated items have even less gold content. Both have minimal scrap value compared to solid gold. We can assess these items, but payouts will be significantly lower. Check for hallmarks (9ct, 14ct, 18ct) to confirm solid gold.

Do you buy gold with diamonds or gemstones?

Yes. We assess diamonds and gemstones separately from the gold content, which can increase the total value of your item. In some cases, jewellery may be worth more as a resellable piece than as scrap. Send clear photos via our free valuation form so our experts can provide the most accurate assessment.

Where are your locations?

We have two offices: 47 Maddox Street, Mayfair, London W1S 2PG (near Bond Street) and Unit 20B Lakes Industrial Park, Braintree, Essex CM7 3RU. We also offer fully insured postal and home collection services for customers anywhere in the UK.

How do you test gold purity?

We test every piece in-house to confirm what your gold is, then value it on its quality and condition.

Where can I sell gold near me?

In person at our Mayfair office in central London or our Braintree office in Essex, both by appointment. If neither is near you, we book a free insured FedEx collection from your home anywhere in the UK, so you can sell without travelling.

How quickly do you pay for gold?

Once you accept our offer you are paid the same day, by bank transfer. Nothing is sold until you say yes, and if you decline, your gold comes back to you at our cost.

How do I sell gold?

Send photographs of your gold and any hallmarks for a free valuation within one working day. If you are happy with the estimate, send it by free insured collection or Special Delivery, or bring it to Mayfair or Braintree by appointment. We test every piece and pay the same day by bank transfer once you accept.

Where is the best place to sell gold in the UK?

Choose a specialist who values each piece for what it is, not only its gold content: antique, signed and gem-set pieces are often worth more as jewellery. Ask for the offer in writing, check independent reviews, and choose a buyer who pays by bank transfer and returns your items at no cost if you decline.

How can I sell gold without getting ripped off?

Know what you have: check the hallmarks and carat, and keep antique, signed or gem set pieces apart from scrap. Get more than one quote, ask whether the price is for the gold alone or the item, and be wary of buyers who weigh everything together or will not say how they worked out an offer.

Is it better to sell gold to a jeweller or a pawn shop?

A pawnbroker mainly lends against gold, charging interest, and buys at a margin that allows for resale; many jewellers buy only for scrap. A specialist antique and jewellery buyer values each piece on its age, maker and stones as well as its gold, which usually matters most for older and designer jewellery.

Do you need proof of ownership to sell gold?

You must own what you sell, but you rarely need a receipt. Reputable UK buyers ask for photo ID and proof of address, which helps prevent stolen goods being traded, and keep a record of each purchase. Boxes, receipts and certificates are worth sending if you have them, because they can add value.

Do you have to report selling gold?

There is no rule that a private seller must report each sale of gold. Buyers keep records and check identity, and any Capital Gains Tax due on a larger gain is declared through Self Assessment. Gains on legal tender coins and on items under the chattels limit are not taxable.

Can gold be sold without a hallmark?

Yes. Unhallmarked gold is tested, usually by acid or an XRF analyser, and bought on the purity the test shows. Much antique and foreign gold is unmarked, and that does not stop it selling. Only the description changes: it is sold as tested gold rather than as hallmarked gold.

Can I sell gold plated jewellery?

Not for its gold: gold plating is too thin to have any metal value, and gold buyers do not pay for it. Signed designer pieces and collected vintage costume jewellery can sell to collectors for their design. Send photos and the stamps if you are not sure whether a piece is plated or solid.

Is it worth selling old gold jewellery?

Often, yes. Broken, unworn and unwanted gold has a value that follows the gold price, and antique, signed and gem set pieces can be worth much more than their metal. A free valuation tells you what yours is worth today, with no obligation to sell.

Does white or rose gold have resale value?

Yes. White and rose gold contain the same share of pure gold as yellow gold of the same carat, so they are valued and resold on the same basis, with any stones, maker and age on top. They can also be pawned like yellow gold.

Do I need ID to sell gold?

Yes. Before we pay, we ask for photo ID and proof of address, as UK anti-money-laundering rules require of buyers. It takes a minute, and we explain what we need up front. More in our guide to selling gold without ID.

What if I don't accept the offer?

Nothing is sold until you say yes. If you decline, we return your gold insured at our cost, whether it came by FedEx collection or Royal Mail Special Delivery, or you take it home with you after an appointment.

Is the estimate from my photos the final offer?

The photo estimate is a guide. The firm offer follows once we have tested the gold and checked each piece in hand, and we explain any difference before you decide. You are never obliged to accept.

What does pawning gold mean?

Pawning gold means borrowing money against it: a pawnbroker holds your gold as security, lends you a sum based on its value, and returns it when you repay the loan with interest. If you do not repay by the agreed date, the pawnbroker can sell it. Selling instead gives you the full price with no interest.

What decides how much I get for 18KT gold?

The weight and the 75% gold content set its metal value, which follows the gold price on the day. On top of that, a maker such as Cartier or Tiffany, antique work, and diamonds or gemstones can add a great deal. Send photos and the hallmarks for a free valuation of your piece.
