Selling Gold Chains in the UK
Gold chains are one of the most common items sold for scrap gold. Whether it's a heavy curb chain, a delicate necklace, or a tangled mess of old jewelry, the value is determined strictly by weight and purity.
- **Weight:** Heavy chains (like curb or belcher styles) can be worth significant sums. Always weigh your chain in grams.
- **Carat (Purity):** Check the hallmark. 9ct (375) is most common in the UK, but 18ct (750) chains are worth double the price per gram.
- **Condition:** For scrap gold, condition doesn't matter. Broken clasps or snapped links do not reduce the gold value.

Expert Tips for Selling Gold Chains
💡 Use a magnet—if your 'gold' chain sticks to it, it's likely gold-plated steel and not solid gold.
💡 Remove any non-gold pendants or heavy stones if you want an accurate weight estimate before selling.
💡 Compare 'scrap gold' prices per gram rather than looking for 'jewelry' buyers, as most used chains are melted down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Gold buyers purchase chains for their material value (weight and purity), so it makes no difference if the chain is broken, tangled, or damaged.
Look for a hallmark on the clasp or a link near the end. Common UK hallmarks are 375 (9ct), 585 (14ct), 750 (18ct), or 916 (22ct). If it says 'GP', 'GF', or 'Rolled', it is likely plated and has little scrap value.
