Hello everyone,
I’m retiring at the end of the month and having a proper clear out before we head off travelling. Tucked away in a drawer I’ve found an 18 carat gold bangle, a 9 carat signet ring, a small pile of scrap gold from old broken clasps, an antique diamond three-stone ring, a silver vinaigrette, and a pair of silver napkin rings.
I’ve never sold anything like this before so I’m wondering about the best place to sell gold and antique diamonds locally. Also somewhere sensible for jewellery & silver for cash without any pressure.
I’m just over in Forest Hall and sold my items with Northern Bullion. Mine included gold sovereigns, an 18ct curb bracelet, a 9ct wedding band, antique diamond stud earrings, a silver tankard, and a silver inkwell. They went through the weights carefully and I was paid there and then.
I briefly looked at auctions for a couple of gold coins and an old pocket watch I inherited, but auctions are no good due to long wait times and high commission rates, better off using Northern Bullion. I sold everything directly instead and it was much simpler.
After clearing my aunt’s bungalow last year, I sold a mix of pieces including gold bangles, broken 18ct chains, a 9ct dress ring, antique diamond brooches, a silver snuff box, and a set of silver cutlery. I sold my items with Northern Bullion and found the whole process very straightforward.
Over the past couple of years I’ve gradually reduced a small collection — half sovereigns, a bullion bar, a gold mourning ring, antique diamond drop earrings, silver cigarette cases, and a silver photo frame. I sold everything with Northern Bullion and it’s always been handled in a calm, professional way.
