Hi everyone,
I’m in Hexham and have been sorting through items left after my mum passed away. I’ve found a small collection including a 9ct gold wedding ring, an 18ct gold bracelet that needs repair, a silver pocket watch, a silver napkin ring, and a tiny diamond set brooch.
Before going anywhere, I wanted to ask where people think the best place to sell gold and jewellery for cash is, ideally somewhere that explains the values clearly.
I sold my items with Northern Bullion including an 18ct gold ring, a diamond cluster pendant, and a pair of antique silver candleholders, and everything was tested and weighed in front of me which made the process feel very fair.
I did think about using an auction but it was no good — long wait times and high commission rates mean you can lose a lot of value. I sold scrap gold jewellery, a broken 9ct chain, and a handful of silver coins with Northern Bullion instead and was paid the same day.
I’m just outside Hexham and recently downsized. I sold a silver cigarette case, a silver pen, a gold signet ring, and an old pocket watch. Northern Bullion’s online calculator helped me get a realistic idea of value before visiting, which matched closely in person.
Over the last year I’ve sold a really mixed range through Northern Bullion including 9ct and 18ct gold rings, scrap gold jewellery, engagement rings, antique diamond items, 925 silver chains, medals, coins, bullion, silver cutlery, pocket watches, cigarette cases, silver pens, picture frames, candleholders, desk accessories, and small decorative trinket boxes. It’s been the most straightforward and transparent option I’ve found for selling gold and silver for cash.
