What Type of Gold Do We Buy?

Have you ever opened your jewellery box and wondered if those old rings, broken chains or unworn necklaces are actually worth anything?

The answer is often yes.

At Easy Gold, we buy almost every type of gold jewellery, whether it's old, broken, tangled, unfashionable or simply no longer worn. With gold prices remaining at historically strong levels, now could be the perfect time to turn unwanted jewellery into cash.

Our expert team offers free valuations, professional XRF gold testing and instant payment if you decide to sell.


We Buy Almost Every Type of Gold Jewellery

Many people think we only buy rings or expensive jewellery, but that's far from the truth.

We regularly purchase:

  • Gold rings

  • Engagement rings

  • Wedding bands

  • Gold chains

  • Necklaces

  • Bracelets

  • Bangles

  • Earrings (including single earrings)

  • Pendants

  • Charms

  • Lockets

  • Gold watches

  • Gold coins

  • Gold bullion

  • Dental gold

  • Scrap gold

  • Broken jewellery

  • Antique gold jewellery

  • Unwanted inherited jewellery

If it's genuine gold, chances are we'll buy it.


Does My Jewellery Have to Be in Good Condition?

Absolutely not.

Some of the most valuable items we buy every day include jewellery that is:

  • Broken

  • Bent

  • Missing stones

  • Out of fashion

  • Tangled

  • Damaged

  • Unmatched (single earrings)

Gold is valued for its precious metal content, not whether it's wearable.


What Gold Purities Do We Buy?

We purchase almost every purity of gold, including:

Can Diamonds and Gemstones Increase the Value?

Sometimes they can.

While many jewellers only pay for the gold, Easy Gold will also assess diamonds and valuable gemstones where appropriate.

Luxury jewellery, vintage pieces and designer brands may be worth considerably more than their gold value alone.

If you're unsure, bring it in. We'll happily explain what you have.


What If I Don't Know If It's Real Gold?

That's exactly why we're here.

Many customers bring us jewellery that has been sitting in a drawer for years.

We regularly hear:

"I don't even know if it's real."

We'll test every item free of charge using our professional XRF analyser.

There is absolutely no obligation to sell.


Do You Buy Gold Without Hallmarks?

Yes.

While hallmarks are helpful, they're not essential.

Older jewellery, handmade pieces and imported jewellery sometimes have no visible hallmark at all.

Our XRF technology analyses the actual metal composition, meaning we don't have to rely solely on stamps.
