We buy all unwanted, damaged or broken scrap platinum jewellery.

Hallmarks

Most platinum jewellery is hallmarked as 950 i.e. 95% platinum, although 850, 900 and 999 hallmarks are also possible. Industrial platinum scrap tends not to be hallmarked and varies in purity. Scrap platinum, particularly if not hallmarked, is likely to require a melt & assay to determine the platinum content. We will contact you to discuss this, should we require processing by this method.

UK Hallmarks

Below are the most common marks you are likely to find on UK manufactured jewellery.

Mary B.

Just to say a big thank you for the efficient service that you provided with regards to the gold bracelet that i sent. I sent the bracelet off in the package that you provided and within a day or so received the valuation, once agreed with myself we received the cheque for the amount indicated and that was that.

Thanks for providing a very efficient and honest service, i would recommend this to anyone wanting to sell scrap gold.

Steve H.

Would just like to say what a fantastic and professional service I have received from your Company.  I had my phone call re the amount of money my jewellery was worth and was amazed at the price.  It was much more that I thought it would be.  Thank you for a quick and professional service, I would happily recommend you to friends and relatives.

Mrs M. Moray

I’ve just received your cheque this morning and I would like to say a big thank you for the excellent price given and the amazingly fast service provided.  Thanks!

Richard J, Derby

Many thanks for the bank transfer…I was very happy with the offer you made me, which was more or less exactly what I was hoping for.  I will recommend you to any of my friends looking to sell scrap jewellery!

Alison F, Dumfries

Posted my items on Tuesday and received an excellent offer the very next day and a cheque arrived in the post on Thursday…fantastic service!

Dave D, Bournemouth

Can I thank you for your reliable and prompt service.  I am more than happy with the return given for my scrap

Susie H, Oxford

Persuaded to send you my jewellery by your no obligation return policy, but thrilled with the offer you actually made which I was more than happy to accept.

Colin W, Bury

Thanks for restoring my faith after another site offered me far less for my jewellery and then charged me a postage and valuation testing fee before they would return it to me.

Nick M, Birmingham

A pleasure to deal with and a lovely quick payment.  Rose was fantastically helpful!

Leanne R, Kingswinford

I would like to thank you for your excellent service and honest price given for the gold necklace I sent to you. You were prompt calling me, very fair on value, and paid direct to my bank at no extra cost.  I had tried several other big advertisers who all sounded great until they offered me less than 40% of what you gave me, another quickly increased their offer but still 25% less than your offer.  They also would have charged for paying into my bank account.

I will use you again when I have sorted out my unused valuable metals.

Mr Z. Merseyside

Thank you for your email and for your offer.  I was actually surprised to hear from you so soon as I thought delivery would be held up because of the weather.  Royal Mail does work sometimes!!!

I would be happy to accept your offer of £147.05p.  Please confirm that you have received this reply.

Very happy to be doing business with you.

Mr S. Peterboroug

Thank you so much, may I say, that I was nervous about sending the items, even tho my things probably weren’t as valueable as some, as have heard so many bad things and read bad reviews about some companies.   I chose you because you had been established so long.  I am very pleased with the prompt reply and outcome.  I will definately recommend you to anyone.

We buy all unwanted, damaged or broken scrap gold jewellery. regardless of carat (9ct, 18ct, 14ct, 22ct, 24ct) or colour (yellow, white, rose) including all of the following:

Hallmarks

Most gold jewellery is hallmarked and depending on the country of origin this mark may give you information about who made it, when it was made, where it was assayed, and how pure it is. The presence of hallmarks will help you estimate the value of your scrap gold, but we are equally happy to accept jewellery without a hallmark. All gold we receive is subject to analysis to confirm its precise gold content, regardless of whether it is hallmarked or not.

UK Hallmarks

Below are the most common marks you are likely to find on UK manufactured jewellery.

The number denoting gold purity relates to the carat and gold content as follows:

Foreign Hallmarks

Jewellery manufactured outside the UK is also likely to carry some form of hallmark, which, although less detailed than the UK hallmark, is likely to give details of the gold content by stating its carat or fineness.

Dealing direct with the refinery will ensure you get the best possible price for your old jewellery. We’ve been recovering and refining precious metals for the last 30 years and are fully licensed with Birmingham City Council and the Environment Agency, so you can rest assured your jewellery is safe & secure.

What price do you pay for scrap gold/platinum?
Our website contains prices and a scrap gold/platinum calculator using rates based on the current gold price (known as the ‘Gold Fix’), which will enable you to estimate the likely value of your jewellery.  Ultimately the price we will actually pay you will depend on our analysis of the precious metal content of your jewellery, and the gold price on the day we receive it.

We will contact you either by phone or email, on the same day we receive your jewellery, with a final valuation which we guarantee until 9.00am the following morning.  Should you for any reason decide at this stage not to proceed with the sale, we will return your jewellery to you the next working day, postage paid & fully insured.

How do I send my unwanted jewellery?
Complete our Sales Pack Request Form and we will send you an insured, postage paid envelope and returns form. Post your unwanted jewellery to us from any post office…this is free of charge and insured up to a maximum of £500.00 (you may also purchase additional insurance at the point of postage, if required). Please note that we operate a postal only service do not accept personal callers.

Do I need to weigh my jewellery?
If you have access to scales, please add your estimated weights to the Sales Pack Request Form. However, all items received are weighed on precision scales to an accuracy of 0.1g upon receipt.

Can I send jewellery with different carat ratings?
Yes, we analyse and sort your jewellery on receipt.

Does the jewellery have to be hallmarked?
We are happy to accept jewellery with or without a hallmark. All jewellery is tested on receipt to accurately determine precious metal content.

How do I know when my jewellery has been delivered?
You can track your parcel on The Royal Mail Website using the tracking number on the receipt given to you at the time of posting…just click on the link at the bottom of the page.

What happens when you receive my jewellery?
Your jewellery is accurately weighed and tested to determine precious metal content and the value determined based on that day’s fixes. You will receive notification of our offer via email/telephone.

When will I receive payment?
Payment will be sent to you via your preferred method (either cheque of BACS) the same day you approve our offer.

What if I change my mind?
No problem, if you decide not to sell your jewellery, we will return your items to you via Royal Mail Special Delivery…unlike our competitors, we will pay the postage & there are no hidden ‘valuation’ or ‘administration’ fees.

What if my jewellery contains precious or semi-precious stones?
We are refiners of gold & platinum and don’t purchase precious or semi precious stones. Whilst we are happy to process jewellery still containing stones, we are unable to return them or make any payment. Any stones you wish to keep should be removed prior to posting your jewellery to us.

What if my jewellery contains non-precious metal items?
Items submitted that do not contain precious metal will not be returned unless you have ticked the appropriate box on the Returns Form. Should you require us to return such items, we will charge £6.50 to cover the cost of packing & postage. This will either be deducted from any payment made, or will need to be paid in advance of your goods being returned.
