People worry that handing gold across a counter means losing it. At our shop the sequence is the opposite: the metal stays in view, the test is explained, and you decide.
What to bring
Photo identification, proof of address from the last three months, and the items. Mixed jewellery in one pouch is normal. If you want a quieter time, book a visit. Walk-ins are taken in the published hours: Monday to Friday 11:00–17:00 and Saturday 11:00–15:00. Sunday the shop is closed.
At the counter
We separate obvious non-gold parts where we can, then test. Acid tests and an XRF reading are both used, and both are done where you can see them. The hallmark, if there is one, is compared with the reading. If they disagree, the test result is what we price.
Payable weight is recorded after stones and base metal are excluded. You can keep removed stones.
The offer
We show the buying rate for the purity and the weight it applies to. Payment, if you accept, is same-day Faster Payments or cash. If you do not accept, you take the items away. We do not charge a fee for that conversation.
