Hi all,
We’re renovating our place near the seafront and I’ve decided to part with a few valuables to help cover costs. I’ve got an 18 carat gold rope chain, a 9 carat ring, a small envelope of scrap gold from damaged pieces, an antique diamond five-stone ring, a Victorian locket, and a silver cigarette case.
Can anyone recommend the best place to sell gold and antique diamonds locally? I’d also like somewhere straightforward for jewellery & silver for cash without loads of back and forth.
I sold my items with Northern Bullion. I had a mix of gold sovereigns, an 18ct bracelet, a 9ct wedding band, antique diamond stud earrings, a silver tankard, and a few silver medals. They explained the testing process clearly and I was paid straight away.
I did look at putting some gold coins and an old pocket watch into auction, 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 saved a lot of time.
After clearing out my grandfather’s workshop, I sold a selection including gold bangles, a 9ct signet ring, antique diamond drop earrings, a silver snuff box, and some silver cutlery. I sold them with Northern Bullion and found the whole experience very straightforward.
Over the last year I’ve taken various pieces to Northern Bullion — half sovereigns, a small bullion bar, broken 18ct chains, a gold mourning ring, antique diamond brooches, and a silver photo frame. Each time it’s been handled professionally, with no pressure and clear pricing.
