Common questions
How do I know if my item is real gold or gold-plated?
Look for a hallmark such as 375, 585, 750, 916 or 999. If there is no hallmark, or you are unsure, send us a photo, and if you do post it, our XRF assay confirms it for certain at no cost.
Do you buy broken or single items?
Yes. Condition does not matter. We buy for the metal content. Broken chains, single earrings and bent rings are all accepted.
Do you buy watches?
Branded watches are assessed case by case. Message us a photo before posting and we will advise.
What if I send something you don't buy?
We return it to you free of charge by tracked, insured post, along with payment for anything we did buy.
