Gold Selling Tips
Practical, general tips to help you get a fair and transparent valuation.
Selling gold should feel straightforward, but a little preparation can help you get a fair, transparent valuation and avoid any surprises along the way.
Know the Day's Gold Rate
Before your visit, it helps to have a general sense of the current gold rate, so the valuation you're offered makes sense in context.
Separate Stone Value From Gold Value
If your item includes stones, ask for the stone component to be valued separately from the gold, so you can see how each part contributes to the total.
Carry Valid Identification
Most transactions require a valid, government-issued ID to confirm your details before the sale is completed.
Understand How Purity Is Tested
Ask how your gold's purity will be assessed and, where possible, observe the process — a transparent process should be easy to explain and see.
Ask for a Clear, Itemised Valuation
A fair valuation should break down weight, purity, rate and any stone value separately, rather than presenting a single, unexplained number.
A transparent process is one you can follow step by step, from weight and purity to the final offer.
Selling With Confidence
These simple checks can help make sure your experience selling gold is fair, clear and free of unpleasant surprises.
