Buying Gold as an Investment
Investment Gold buying options are dependent upon availability, however you can usually choose from:
- Sovereigns (full and half)
- Krugerrands
- Gold Bars
- Hallmarked heavy gold jewellery, at investment prices
The price of gold, known as the gold fix is set each day by a regulating body. We base our prices on this and check it regularly to keep our prices up to date and competitive.
Whether you are selling old gold or buying gold as an investment, we always offer an honest and competitive price. Your jewellery will be assessed by purity and weight. No matter how small, all gold items can be exchanged to earn you cash.
Gold for Investment
Not only do we offer cash for gold; we also offer the chance to invest in gold. We sell investment gold at a small margin over the daily gold price.
Precious metals are a scarce natural resource, so historically it has been an industry standard to buy old gold and make it into something new. Gold and other precious metals have a value per gram, which is not affected by design, age or condition.
Gold provides an attractive investment market in uncertain times, which is why historically it has been a safe and profitable option, reaping large rewards if you catch the market at the right time.
Selling Your Gold FAQs
You mention selling gold a lot, but do you also buy silver, platinum and palladium?
Yes, these are all classed as precious metals and have a daily fixed rate the same as gold which we use as a price guide.
Do you buy silver?
We will weigh the silver and offer you the scrap price based on the daily rate. This includes silver jewellery, flatware, decorative objects etc. We generally do not sell pre-owned silver jewellery in our stores, with only the occasional exception if it is a saleable designer or a desirable antique collector’s item.
What does the purity of the metal mean?
Precious metals are sold in a variety of purities, for example 9ct, 14ct 18ct and 22ct. Antique and foreign pieces may have other purities. The purity affects the price, for example a 9ct gold ring has 37.5% pure gold the rest is other metals. An 18ct gold ring has 75% pure gold, the rest other metals, so 18ct has double the gold quantity and is worth double the price.
How do I know the purity?
Most precious metal jewellery has a UK Hallmark, which means it has been tested and verified at that purity e.g 9ct, 18ct etc. The series of symbols known as the hallmark will be identified when we are quoting so we can calculate the price.
My jewellery doesn't have a hallmark, will you still buy it?
If your item doesn’t have a hallmark, our workshop can perform a test on the metal using their equipment to ascertain the purity. This may mean you have to wait a little while in store while it is done. If the test comes back as not a precious metal then unfortunately we will not buy the item.
Sometimes jewellery may not have a hallmark. This could be for a number of reasons including; under legal minimum gram weight, too delicate to physically hallmark, or was manufactured before current hallmarking laws required it to be. The hallmark may have worn off over time or been lost during a repair. Items made abroad may have markings which do not correspond to our UK system, so will require testing.
I have good quality diamond jewellery as well as scrap gold, do you buy both?
Yes, please bring in all of your unwanted jewellery. We have customers looking to buy top quality second-hand jewellery, high end diamond jewellery and collectable antique jewellery. We also have shops that sell cheaper 9ct jewellery too, so we will always offer you a price.On items we do not feel are suitable for re-selling we will offer you a price based on the scrap gold price.
Do you buy watches?
Yes, we are always looking to buy luxury and vintage watches. Click here for more information.
Do I need to bring anything with me, other than the gold?
Yes. Please bring with you photo ID including proof of address. If the diamonds came with a certificate, please do not forget to bring it along. It allows us a more accurate assessment of the grading and subsequent value. You are welcome to bring receipts and insurance valuations if you wish, these may be useful, but are not essential.
How do you pay me for the gold?
We can pay you immediately by bank transfer or cash if you prefer. We are also happy to part-exchange against any jewellery or watches from Gold Arts.
Do you offer pawnbroking or cash loans against jewellery and watches?
No, we do not offer this service in our Gold Arts stores. We do offer this at our sister company GA Pawnbrokers. For more information visit www.gapawnbrokers.com
