Selling Scrap Gold in the UK

Scrap gold refers to any gold item that is sold for the value of the metal itself, rather than for its artistic or collectible worth. This includes broken jewelry, old coins, and even dental gold.

What Affects the Value?
  • **Spot Price:** The global price of gold is the main driver of scrap value.
  • **Purity:** Higher carat gold (24ct, 22ct, 18ct) contains more pure gold and is worth more per gram than 9ct.
  • **Weight:** The total weight of your items is the final multiplier for the value.

Expert Tips for Selling Scrap Gold

💡 Separate your gold by carat before getting a quote. Mixing 18ct with 9ct might lead to the whole lot being valued at the lower rate by unscrupulous buyers.

💡 Remove non-gold items like springs in clasps, stones, or heavy fillings if possible.

💡 Use a 'scrap gold calculator' to get a baseline idea of your items' worth before approaching dealers.
