Gold Purchasing
Sell Jewellery with Confidence
Do you have unwanted gold, broken jewellery, or old coins that no longer hold sentimental value? Selling these items can be a simple and effective way to release value from pieces you no longer wear or need. Whether it’s scrap gold, gold coins (like sovereigns or krugerrands), silver, or platinum, we can help you turn these into cash with no hidden fees.
At The Jewellery Appraiser, we offer a trusted and transparent buying service in Reading and the Berkshire area. Every item is assessed with care to determine whether it's best suited for scrap value or if it may be resalable as a complete article. In cases where resale may be more appropriate, we’ll happily point you in the right direction.
How It Works
-
We buy jewellery made from gold, silver, or platinum, including scrap pieces, broken chains, or coins.
-
Scrap gold prices depend on current market rates and the metal content of the item, excluding any stones or non-metal features.
-
Each item is carefully examined, and in some cases, definitive testing may be required—particularly for unusual pieces or certain coins.
-
We typically make offers on the spot during your visit, but for larger collections or at busy times, this may take a little longer.
-
If an item must be sent offsite for further testing, we’ll explain the process fully. Should you choose not to accept an offer after this, a small fee may apply to cover admin and postage—we'll always let you know before anything is sent.
What You Need to Know
-
Payments are made by BACS transfer—we do not offer cash payments.
-
You'll need to bring valid photo ID and proof of address, and you must be 18 or over.
-
We rarely purchase silver coins, but we’re happy to take a look.
-
For some coins or unusual items, we may consult trusted bullion specialists to ensure accurate valuations—we’ll explain this clearly if needed.
