Hi all,
I’m in Stocksfield and recently downsized, which meant finally sorting through a jewellery box that hadn’t been opened in years. I’ve got an 18 carat gold dress ring, a 9 carat gold charm bracelet with a few missing charms, a small bundle of scrap gold jewellery, an antique diamond three stone ring, and a silver vinaigrette.
I’m trying to figure out the best place to sell gold and antique diamonds locally. Ideally somewhere that’s fair when it comes to jewellery & silver for cash.
I’m just along the valley and sold my items with Northern Bullion. Mine included a 9ct gold wedding band, an 18ct gold chain, a diamond cluster pendant, and a silver cigar piercer. They explained clearly how 9 carat and 18 carat gold are tested and valued.
I looked into auction first but it was no good — long wait times and high commission rates meant it just wasn’t worth it for a few gold coins and some silver serving pieces I had. Northern Bullion paid me straight away, which made the decision easy.
I recently sold a mix of items after clearing a relative’s home including a gold mourning ring, a pair of antique diamond earrings, a silver snuff box, and a decorative silver magnifying glass with an ornate handle. The pricing was transparent and straightforward.
Over the last year I’ve sold quite a varied collection with Northern Bullion including 18 carat gold bangles, 9 carat scrap gold jewellery, antique diamond brooches, gold bullion bars, silver tankards, silver candlesticks, pocket watch chains, decorative key fobs with gold detailing, ceremonial style daggers with silver mounts, and small inlaid trinket boxes. For me it’s been the most consistent and reliable way to sell gold and jewellery for cash locally.
