A specialist buyer, a high-street counter, Hatton Garden or a pawnbroker. Here is how each one works, so you can choose with your eyes open.
Plain scrap gold is valued on its metal wherever you take it. Jewellery, watches and coins are different: the maker, the age, the stones and the condition can all count, and not every buyer looks at them. Choose the route that suits what you have.

“Excellent service. Contacted Mozeris and corresponded with Faustas. Responded immediately to my email to sell a 20g gold bar and a half sovereign coin. Received an offer and after a few further email exchanges to finalise, I posted with special delivery and was paid out shortly after they received the items.”
“I was apprehensive about selling my mother's omega watch but the whole process was straightforward and reassuring. Faustas was extremely helpful and understanding and the communication was very quick. The money agreed was in my account within hours of accepting an offer.”
“Fantastic guys, pay on spot and very very professional.”
It depends on what you have. Plain broken gold is valued mainly on its metal wherever you take it. Antique, signed, hallmarked by a known maker or stone-set pieces can be worth more than their metal, so it helps to show them to a buyer who values the whole piece.
We pay by bank transfer, the same day we inspect your items and you accept our offer. It reaches most accounts within hours.
Selling is final and you are paid for the piece. Pawning is a loan against it, with interest, and you get the item back by repaying. If you want to keep the piece, a loan may suit you. If you do not, selling avoids the interest.
