Uncover the Value of Unwanted Gold & Silver
Most of us have a cluttered jewellery box hiding in a drawer somewhere, filled with tangled chains, broken earrings, or rings that haven’t fit in years. But did you know those forgotten trinkets could be worth hundreds, even thousands of pounds?

Whether it’s an old necklace, an inherited ring, or a single earring without its pair, Pharaohs Bullion helps you turn unused jewellery into instant cash with zero pressure and total transparency.
This guide reveals how to uncover the true value of your gold and silver, what affects pricing, and how to tactically sell jewellery in Scotland.

What Determines the Value of Your Jewellery?
Selling jewellery isn’t just about weight; it’s about understanding every aspect of your item. Here’s what we look for:
1. The Hallmark Stamp
Most gold jewellery is stamped with a hallmark, a small number indicating gold purity:
- 375 = 9ct (37.5% gold)
- 585 = 14ct (58.5%)
- 750 = 18ct (75%)
- 916 = 22ct
- 999 = 24ct (pure gold)
This tiny stamp can make a big difference in the offer you receive.
2. Weight & Purity
Heavier pieces with higher gold content are naturally worth more. We use accurate digital scales to weigh each item fairly in front of you.
3. Diamonds & Gemstones
If you’re looking to sell diamond jewellery, we assess each stone individually based on the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Even small diamonds can add value.
4. Craftsmanship & Age
Some vintage or designer pieces have collector appeal. We consider this during appraisal, especially if you bring certificates or receipts.

5 Smart Ways to Boost Your Jewellery’s Value
1. Stick with Local Experts
Selling locally means speaking to real people who value your time and your pieces.
2. Bring Proof of ID
UK gold buyers must verify your identity by law. It’s quick, simple, and keeps things secure.
3. Polish Your Pieces
A quick clean (nothing too harsh) can highlight a diamond’s sparkle or bring a gold chain back to life.
4. Do Your Research
Check the daily gold price before your visit. You can call us or drop in to find out the current values.
5. Ask Questions
We break down every quote so you understand exactly what you’re being offered. Transparency builds trust.
Thinking of Selling Online? A Word of Caution
Online gold buyers might seem convenient, but be wary of:
- Delayed payments
- Low-ball offers
- Lack of real customer support
At Pharaohs Bullion, you get immediate answers, no hidden fees, and payment on the spot.
