Understanding Value

What Is Scrap Gold?

Scrap gold is any unwanted, broken, or no-longer-worn gold jewellery or gold item that can be sold for its raw metal value. Unlike retail gold jewellery which carries a premium for craftsmanship and branding, scrap gold is valued purely by its weight and purity (carat rating).

Gold purity is measured in carats (ct), which indicates the proportion of pure gold in the alloy:

24ct gold
99.9% pure gold
22ct gold
91.6% pure gold
18ct gold
75.0% pure gold
14ct gold
58.3% pure gold
9ct gold
37.5% pure gold

Common scrap gold items include broken chains, old rings, dental gold, unwanted earrings, gold coins, watches, and charms. Even items without hallmarks can be tested and valued.

Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter has been the centre of Britain's gold and jewellery trade for over 200 years. The Gold Exchange operates from this historic district, combining generations of precious metal expertise with modern testing technology to offer some of the best scrap gold prices in the UK.
