You stay in control
Posting valuables should never feel like a leap of faith, so here it does not start as one. Ask your questions first and send photos of your unwanted jewellery on WhatsApp for a no-charge quick indicative figure. Only when you are comfortable do you request a label.
This is a UK-wide postal service with no branches anywhere. Wherever you live, it works the same way: a free insured label in, a written offer back, and a free return if you decline.
What you can send
Unwanted does not mean worthless. Plenty of jewellery that no longer suits you still holds real gold or silver value. Send the lot together. There is no need to sort it:
- Gifts and inherited pieces you have never worn
- Dated rings, chains and brooches that are not your style
- The mixed jewellery box, gold, silver and costume all together
- Odd earrings and single pieces from broken sets
- Wedding and engagement rings from a previous chapter
- Charm bracelets, lockets, pendants and old watch chains
Costume and plated pieces mixed in are no problem, XRF testing identifies precious metal for certain, and anything that is not gold, silver or platinum is simply returned at no cost. See what we buy.
How it works
- Ask first and send photos. Message us on WhatsApp with photos of your unwanted jewellery for a quick indicative figure. Ask anything; there is no charge and no obligation.
- Request a prepaid Royal Mail label. We send a free Royal Mail Special Delivery label, tracked and signed for. No printer? We send a QR code for the Post Office counter.
- Post it when you are ready. Use any padded envelope. There is no deadline and no pressure.
- Receive a no-obligation valuation. Every item is weighed on calibrated scales and tested by XRF spectrometry. You get a written, itemised offer: purity, weight, the rate used and the figure.
- Accept or decline. Accept and you are paid by bank transfer via Faster Payments. Decline and everything is returned free of charge by tracked, insured post.
The valuation, in plain terms
We do not eyeball a figure. Each item is XRF-assayed for purity and weighed on calibrated scales, then valued against the live market rate, and you see the working in writing before you decide. The method is set out in full on how we value gold.
A mixed jewellery box is separated by metal and carat first, then each group is weighed and XRF-assayed. Your written breakdown shows every group, so you can see exactly where the value is, and where it is not.
Postage and cover
Royal Mail Special Delivery cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. The label we send is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: tracked end to end, signed for on delivery, and arranged with that compensation cover per parcel. If you believe your items are worth more, message us before posting and we will arrange the right approach, whether that is additional cover or splitting items across more than one parcel. Full detail is on postage and insurance, and is it safe to post gold? walks through posting valuables safely.
No obligation, ever
You are free to walk away at any point before you accept. Decline the offer and everything is repacked and returned to you free of charge, fully tracked and insured. There is no assessment fee and no sales pressure afterwards. The detail is on what happens if I decline the offer.
Who this helps
This suits anyone decluttering and clearing space, people who have been given jewellery that simply is not to their taste, and anyone holding a mixed jewellery box they have never known what to do with. If a piece has sentimental value, keep it. This is for the ones you genuinely do not want.
The payment step
Acceptance triggers payment: a direct bank transfer by Faster Payments, to the account you give us. Nothing to bank and nothing to chase.

Common questions
How do I know which pieces are actually gold or silver?
You do not need to know. XRF testing confirms the metal content of every item for certain. Send a photo on WhatsApp first if you would like a quick indicative figure before posting.
I have a piece with sentimental value mixed in, what should I do?
Keep anything sentimental. This service is for jewellery you genuinely no longer want. If you do post something and then change your mind, you can decline the offer and it comes straight back, free of charge.
What if I decline the offer?
Everything is returned to you free of charge by tracked, insured Royal Mail post. There is no fee for declining and no follow-up pressure.
