Sell Gold Jewellery & Items

Why Sell Your Gold Jewellery & Items to South Coast Jewellers?

If you want to sell your gold jewellery, gold watches, or any other gold items for cash, you have come to the right place. Gold is one of the most straightforward items to sell because its value is directly tied to the weight and purity of the metal. Whether you have a single unwanted ring, a gold watch you no longer wear, or an inherited collection, our expert valuers use calibrated scales and the latest testing technology to give you a fair, transparent offer based on live market prices. We offer cash for gold across the South Coast -- no haggling, no hidden deductions, just an honest price based on what the metal is worth today.

Selling Gold Across the South Coast

We provide free home visit valuations across Bournemouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, and the wider South Coast region. There is no need to travel to a high-street shop or post your valuables. Our fully insured, enhanced DBS-checked team comes to you, assesses your gold in the comfort of your own home, and pays you the same day if you choose to sell.

Getting the Best Price for Your Gold

Gold prices fluctuate daily based on global markets. We pride ourselves on offering prices that closely reflect the current spot rate, with a transparent breakdown so you can see exactly how your offer is calculated. There is never any pressure to accept, and our valuations are always free and without obligation.

What Types of Gold Do We Buy?

We buy every type of gold you can think of -- and plenty that most people overlook. If you want to sell gold rings, we purchase everything from plain wedding bands and signet rings to diamond-set dress rings in 9ct, 18ct, and 22ct gold. Looking to sell gold chains? We buy rope chains, curb chains, figaro chains, and pendants in any length and weight. Bracelets, bangles, earrings, and brooches are all welcome too.

Gold watches are another area we specialise in. Whether you have a gold Rolex, a gold-cased Omega, a vintage 18ct dress watch, or even a broken gold watch that no longer runs, the gold content alone makes it worth selling. Many gold watches also carry additional value based on the brand, model, and condition. Our valuers assess both the precious metal content and the horological value of your timepiece to ensure you receive the best possible offer.

Beyond wearable jewellery and watches, we are active buyers of gold sovereigns and bullion coins, gold bars of any size, and dental gold including crowns and bridges. We also buy scrap gold -- broken chains, single earrings, tangled necklaces, and bent or damaged pieces all hold value based on their gold content. The condition of the piece does not matter to us. If it contains gold, we want to hear from you. Book a free home visit gold valuation and let us assess everything you have.

How Gold Prices Work

The gold price today is set by the London Bullion Market Association and moves throughout each trading day based on global supply, demand, and currency fluctuations. When we provide a gold valuation, we work directly from this live spot price so that our offer reflects what the metal is genuinely worth at that moment.

The carat of your gold has a significant effect on its value. Pure gold is 24ct, but most jewellery sold in the UK is 9ct, 18ct, or 22ct. A 9ct gold ring contains 37.5% pure gold, an 18ct piece contains 75%, and 22ct sits at 91.6%. Higher carat means more pure gold per gram, which means a higher price per gram when you come to sell. Our valuers test every item individually using professional acid testing and electronic analysis to determine exact carat purity, so you can be confident that the carat and weight are measured accurately. We then show you the full calculation: weight, carat, the live gold price, and your offer, all written down so there are no surprises.

Selling Gold in Bournemouth, Southampton, and Portsmouth

If you have been searching for gold buyers near me, you have come to the right place. We cover Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Southampton, Portsmouth, and the surrounding areas of Dorset and Hampshire, providing a free home visit gold valuation wherever you are on the South Coast. Our service also reaches Winchester, Eastleigh, Fareham, and the towns in between.

Many people prefer selling gold from home rather than visiting a high-street buyer, and we understand why. A home visit means you do not have to carry valuable items through town, wait in a queue, or feel rushed while making a decision. Our valuer arrives at a time that suits you, tests and weighs your gold on the spot, and makes an offer you are free to accept or decline. If you decide to sell gold in Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, or anywhere else along the South Coast, the whole process typically takes less than an hour and payment is made the same day. Get in touch to arrange your free appointment.

Preparing Your Gold for a Valuation

You do not need to do anything special before our visit. There is no need to polish, clean, or sort your gold jewellery beforehand -- we assess items in whatever condition they arrive. However, if you have any original receipts, certificates, or boxes for branded pieces, it is worth having them to hand as they can add value. Gather everything you would like valued in one place, including items you are unsure about. Our valuers are happy to test anything that might contain gold, and there is no charge for items that turn out to be gold-plated or costume jewellery.

If you have a large collection -- perhaps inherited from a family member or accumulated over many years -- a single home visit is usually enough to assess everything. We work through each piece individually, so whether you have five items or fifty, every piece gets the same careful attention.

Sell Gold Jewellery You No Longer Wear

Most people have gold jewellery sitting unworn in a drawer or jewellery box. Perhaps it is an ex-partner's ring, a necklace that no longer suits your style, a broken bracelet you never got around to repairing, or an inherited piece that simply is not to your taste. Whatever the reason, unworn gold jewellery is money sitting idle. The gold price has risen significantly over recent years, meaning that items bought or inherited decades ago may now be worth considerably more than you expect.

Selling unworn gold is one of the easiest ways to unlock cash from assets you already own. There is no depreciation to worry about as there is with cars or electronics -- gold holds and often increases in value over time. A plain 9ct gold chain bought in the 1990s will contain exactly the same amount of gold today, but the price per gram has multiplied several times over. Our home visit service makes the process effortless: we come to you, value your pieces using live market data, and pay you the same day if you choose to sell. There is no obligation, and the valuation is always free.

Cash for Gold -- What to Expect

When you hear "cash for gold," you might think of high-street shops with neon signs and questionable practices. We are the opposite of that. South Coast Jewellers is a trusted, established precious metals buyer with over twenty years of experience and consistently five-star Google reviews. Our process is transparent from start to finish. We weigh your gold on calibrated, certified scales in front of you, explain the carat and purity of each item, show you the live market price we are working from, and present a clear, written breakdown of how your offer is calculated. There are no hidden deductions, no "processing fees," and no pressure to accept on the spot. If you want to take our written valuation away and compare it with other buyers, you are welcome to do so. We are confident that our prices are among the best on the South Coast because we work from live market data and keep our margins fair.
