Do you need to sell your gold jewellery? Perhaps it’s broken or no longer wanted? If you’re considering selling or exchanging your gold, we at Aleks Jewellers offer a trusted and straightforward process to help you determine its worth and what comes next. Whether it’s old gold jewellery, coins, or trinkets, here’s what you need to know about our valuation process.
The value of gold depends on several factors, including its purity, weight, and the current market price. Gold purity is measured in carats (ct), with 24ct being pure gold. However, most jewellery is crafted with alloy metals for durability, reducing its purity but creating various shades like rose gold, or rhodium coated in the case of white gold.
At Aleks Jewellers, the purity of your gold piece will be assessed to ensure you get an accurate valuation. We understand that each piece is unique, so our expert team handles every item with care and professionalism.
We make the gold valuation process simple and transparent:
First, visit our warm and knowledgeable team in-store, and bring along your gold pieces for valuation. We’ll then professionally assess your gold, using industry-standard techniques to determine its purity and weight, including testing with specialised equipment to ensure precise results.
We’ll use real-time market data to calculate the value of your gold. As the price of gold fluctuates daily, you’ll receive an up-to-date offer that reflects its true worth at the time.
Finally, if you’re happy with our offer, we can either give it to you in cash, or you can use it as part of an exchange for something new. Trading in something old and unworn for a beautiful new piece of jewellery to keep for yourself or give as a thoughtful gift makes it more than just a simple transaction. Preowned jewellery often holds emotional weight, so by exchanging for something else, you can carry on that sentiment into the new piece.
At Aleks Jewellers, you can sell to us or exchange a wide variety of gold items, including:
No piece is too small or insignificant; every gram of gold has value.
Before you decide to part with your gold, it’s good to do a bit of research and preparation first.
Stay informed about gold’s spot price. This will help you understand the approximate value of your items before visiting us in-store.
If you have multiple gold items, try to group them by their carat weight. This can streamline the jewellery valuation process, though it’s not necessary if you’re unsure of the carat weight of your pieces.
If you have them for your pieces, certificates or receipts can help us verify the gold’s authenticity, and may even enhance its value.
Our team is happy to answer any and all questions you may have regarding your jewellery. We believe in transparent communication to ensure you feel comfortable with the process.
