Morning everyone,
I’m in Ellington and recently decided to sell a few pieces I no longer wear. I’ve got an 18 carat gold engagement ring from years ago, a 9 carat gold rope chain, some broken scrap gold jewellery, a silver thimble collection, and a small diamond pendant.
Can anyone recommend the best place to sell gold and antique diamonds locally? I’m looking to sell jewellery & silver for cash but want somewhere reputable.
I’m just outside Ellington and sold my items with Northern Bullion. I had a 9ct gold signet ring, an 18ct gold bangle, a pair of antique diamond earrings, and a silver pocket watch chain. They explained clearly how different carats are valued and paid on the spot.
I did look into auction first but it was no good — long wait times and high commission rates meant it didn’t make sense for a few gold rings and some silver cutlery I wanted to sell. Northern Bullion was much more straightforward and I didn’t have to wait weeks.
I recently cleared out a drawer and sold a gold wedding band, a small antique diamond brooch, a silver cigarette case, and a decorative silver letter opener. The online price guide gave me confidence before visiting.
Over time I’ve sold quite a mix with Northern Bullion including 18 carat gold necklaces, 9 carat scrap gold jewellery, antique diamond rings, gold sovereign coins, silver goblets, silver candlesticks, pocket watches, ornate picture frames, decorative belt clasps, and small silver inkwells. For me it’s been the most reliable way to sell gold and jewellery for cash without hidden deductions.
