What Is Gold Jewellery Worth Today?
With the price of gold reaching record highs in recent years, many people are surprised at how valuable their old or unwanted jewellery has become.
Gold charm bracelets might be out of fashion today, but a 9-carat gold chain with a handful of charms is likely worth more than £500 today. The same is true of a plain 18-carat gold signet ring, which could net you more than £200. A gold watch of any brand could very well be worth more than £1,000. At MJ Hughes Coins, we carefully value every piece, taking into account its gold content, brand, design, and historical appeal to provide fair and accurate offers based on a thorough assessment of your items.
If you know the purity of your gold jewellery and have a set of scales at home, it's easy to value your items at home, using our scrap gold calculator. This shows the prices we would pay today for your gold items, with rates varying based on the live gold price.
What Is Broken Gold Jewellery Worth?
You do not need to have perfect or wearable jewellery to sell it: broken, damaged or incomplete gold items are often still worth a surprising amount.
We buy a wide range of broken gold jewellery, including:
- Broken chains and bracelets
- Single earrings or cufflinks
- Snapped clasps, mounts and settings
- Rings with missing stones
- Scratched, dented or heavily worn pieces
When dealing with broken or incomplete items, we assess their value based on their gold content, not their condition. That means that even jewellery items that are beyond repair can earn you an excellent return.
