We buy gold jewellery, bars and coins with complete transparency, using industry-leading XRF technology for accurate and reliable valuations.
Whether it’s a broken chain, heirloom jewellery or investment bullion, we make the process simple, secure and fair from start to finish.
How It Works
Get In Touch
Send us photos of your items via WhatsApp or Instagram. Where possible, we will provide a rough valuation from the pictures. With multiple or complex pieces, a visual inspection is required for accuracy.
Collection or Appointment
Depending on your location, we can arrange a secure collection of your items, or a private appointment for you to bring them to us discreetly.
Testing & Valuation
We test all items using our XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) machine. This non-destructive technology provides a precise analysis of your gold’s purity and composition. This ensures your valuation is accurate and completely transparent.
Payment
Once the valuation is agreed, we process secure bank transfer payments within 5–7 business days.
Why Sell with Eminence Jewels?
Understanding Hallmarks & Gold Purity
Hallmarking can sometimes be confusing — especially with jewellery purchased overseas. Here’s what you need to know:
- UK Hallmarks – In the UK, all gold jewellery above 1g should be hallmarked by an Assay Office. The hallmark confirms the item’s purity (e.g., 750 = 18ct, 916 = 22ct).
- KDM Gold – In Indian jewellery, “KDM” often refers to jewellery soldered using cadmium. It is not an official hallmark and does not guarantee purity.
- International Hallmark Variations – Jewellery from India or Dubai that is sold as “22ct” can sometimes test as 19–20ct when checked with an XRF machine. This is usually due to incorrect hallmarking or the use of alloys.
- Impact on Valuation – Since price is directly linked to purity, an item testing lower than the stated hallmark will be valued at its true purity, ensuring fairness to both parties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy gold bars and coins?
Yes — we buy gold jewellery, bars, and coins, with valuations based on purity and weight.
What if my gold tests lower than the indicated hallmark?
Your valuation will be based on the actual purity of the gold as confirmed by XRF testing, not the stamped hallmark.
Do you accept broken or damaged jewellery?
Yes — we buy broken or damaged gold items, as the valuation is based on purity and weight, not just the condition.
