With gold prices reaching historic levels, there has never been a better time to check the value of your unwanted gold and silver.
However, not all gold buyers are created equal. Before you head into Southport town centre, here are three things you should know about scrap gold valuation.
1. Understanding the Hallmark
The hallmark tells us the purity of your gold. Whether it’s 9ct, 18ct, or 22ct, the purity significantly impacts the price. If your items are so old the hallmarks have worn away, don’t worry—our team has over 100 years of experience and can test the metal accurately while you wait.
2. Weight Matters, But So Does Heritage
While scrap gold is often bought by weight, some items are worth more than their metal value. Because we are antique jewellery and watch specialists, we look for branded items like Rolex or Omega and antique collectibles that might carry a premium. We’ll always tell you if your item is worth more than just its weight in gold.
3. The Convenience of Home Visits
If you have a large collection of silver tableware or an estate’s worth of gold, you might not feel comfortable carrying it through town.
We are one of the few jewellers in Southport to offer FREE home visits with our Chief Valuer. You get the same professional, no-pressure service in the comfort of your living room.
