Get a clear reference estimate for gold jewellery, coins, bullion and broken gold items—before deciding what to do next.
Know who you are using
Gold Value does not buy, store or transport your gold. It helps you prepare an indicative estimate and compare independent buyers more confidently.
Today’s gold reference
Market context only—not a live buyback offer. Dealer spreads, testing, refining, fees and non-metal value are not included.

Select the details you know. If purity is unclear, choose the closest hallmark or ask for professional testing.
Read the hallmark
Look inside a ring, near a chain clasp or on the back of an item. Use the stamp only as a starting point—professional testing is still required.
Stamps can be missing, worn or inaccurate. A hallmark alone does not prove authenticity.
Beyond metal weight
Recognised makers and documented history can influence resale demand.
Diamonds and coloured stones should be assessed separately, not ignored.
Wearable condition, workmanship and distinctive design can add product value.
Antique or uncommon pieces may require a specialist rather than a melt-only quote.
A clearer way to sell
Share the type, hallmark, approximate weight and any brand or gemstone details.
A professional checks purity, weight, condition and any value beyond the gold itself.
Review the written breakdown and local payment terms before accepting or declining.
Trust is in the details
Instead of anonymous testimonials, use verifiable evidence. Before you hand over an item, confirm each point with your buyer.
Before accepting an offer
Tick each point you have confirmed directly with the buyer. Your checklist stays on this device and is not submitted.
Why offers differ
Buyers may use different reference markets, update times and currency conversions.
A buyer may deduct documented assay, refining, insurance or transaction costs.
Brand, condition, gemstones, design and collectability may justify a specialist valuation.
Before you sell
A trustworthy buyer should be able to show a registered business identity, physical contact details, written terms, a clear privacy notice and the exact process for insured delivery or an in-person appointment.
Public business directory
Browse publicly listed businesses in your selected market. These businesses are independent and are not operated, endorsed or partnered with Gold Value.
Confirm the current address, opening hours, accepted items, identification requirements, fees and price directly with the business. A listing does not imply affiliation or recommendation.
Questions, answered
Requirements vary by country. Confirm the final process with the selected local buyer.
Often yes, but proof-of-ownership and identity requirements vary. A buyer may ask additional questions or decline an item if its origin cannot be reasonably verified.
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings and damaged pieces can still carry metal value. Their condition may reduce product value but does not automatically remove their gold content.
Hallmarks are a starting point. Professional buyers may use electronic, XRF or carefully controlled acid testing. Ask which method will be used before consenting.
This depends on the buyer. Request a written breakdown of any appraisal, refining, delivery, insurance or payment fee before accepting an offer.
Timing depends on local payment rules, identity checks and the selected method. In-store and bank-transfer timelines should be stated in the buyer’s written terms.
Gold buyers commonly require government-issued identification and may retain transaction records. The exact requirement must be configured for the country where the service operates.
