Firstly know what you have
The first step is to gather the details of your gold so you can receive a quote, is order for us to provide you with our price, we will need to know the weight of the gold, in grms ideally and the carat of the gold.

- Are there any gemstones or diamonds in the gold ? If so you should normally receive a price for the gemstones if they are precious and for the diamonds as well as the gold.
- Age: When the jewellery was originally bought. Jewellery over 20 years old can be considered vintage (as long as it was not mass produced), and over 100 years old it is considered antique.
- Wear: If the jewellery shows any signs of wear such as scratches or missing diamonds this can detract from the value and if it’s plain gold that’s broken ect it’s classed as scrap gold.
