What Items Can I Sell for Scrap Gold? You Might Be Surprised

Many people assume only perfect, wearable jewellery has value. In fact, scrap gold buyers purchase gold by its metal content — meaning condition rarely matters. Here's what you can sell:

Broken or Damaged Jewellery

Snapped chains, bent rings, broken clasps — it doesn't matter. The gold content remains exactly the same whether the piece is intact or in pieces. Bring it all in.

Old-Fashioned or Unwanted Jewellery

Styles change. Jewellery that feels outdated or that you simply no longer wear can be turned into cash at the current gold price.

Single Earrings

Lost the other one? A single gold earring still has full scrap value based on its weight and purity. Don't throw it away.

Dental Gold

Old gold crowns, caps, and bridges are surprisingly valuable. Dental gold is often 16ct or higher — well worth checking.

Gold Coins and Ingots

Sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias, and gold bars all carry significant value. We value these carefully and pay competitive rates.

Watches with Gold Cases or Bracelets

Vintage watches with solid gold cases — especially Rolex, Omega, and Longines — can be worth considerably more than their scrap value. We assess the full value before making any offer.
