Do you buy old jewellery?
Do you have vintage jewellery just lying around in a drawer? You can sell your old jewellery for cash and it may be worth more than you realize.
Perhaps you have Art Deco jewellery from the 1920s or ‘30s passed down from a grandparent. Or, maybe you were a swinging young socialite in the Disco Era and have some amazing vintage ‘70s gold necklaces that would have some value.
Your old jewellery may not be of interest to you, but it may well be worth a fortune.
Should I clean or reset my jewellery before getting it appraised?
Sometimes having a precious gem put in a better setting (especially if the original is broken) can help with the resale value. The main reason for this would be for insurance purposes, otherwise, it is not necessary.
However, with vintage jewellery pieces, especially those that are quite old and fragile, you may hurt the value by cleaning, resetting, or removing tarnish. It can be tempting to take a scrub brush to some older, tarnished items, but please do not do so until you talk to an expert.
Once again, you can contact us if you have questions about whether you should clean up your fine jewellery before getting an appraisal.
How much can I sell my items for?
Selling your gold, diamonds and jewellery can be an intimidating, daunting and time-consuming process.
You want to get the most money for your gold and jewellery, but you’re busy: no one wants to travel back and forth meeting with buyers to sell gold. Unlike other places to sell gold, we will never quote you a high price over the phone only to make a lower offer in -person.
Keep these factors in mind before you sell gold.
When is a good time to sell my gold items for cash?
Prices for gold change on a daily basis. As you read this, it’s likely true that the price of gold is at an all-time high (or very close). For most gold sellers, the fluctuations in gold price will not make a significant difference in the value of your gold jewellery. If you have gold jewellery that you know you will never wear, its essentially dead money sitting in your jewellery box and that can be converted into cash for gold!
Wouldn’t you rather have some extra money to spend on a vacation or gift for that special someone?
Gold buyers look at many factors when determining the value – and ultimate price – for your gold.
So, how much can you sell your gold for? It depends on these four factors which can fluctuate:
● Weight in grams, or troy ounces.● Karats: the concentration of gold versus other metals in the item (9k, 18k etc.).● Value of the intact item as a piece vs. its scrap or gold melt value.● Market value on the current day you wish to sell.
Should I go to the nearest place to sell gold?
Not all places to sell gold are the same.
Many pawn shops provide you a price based on weight alone without considering the quality, maker, period and gems in the jewellery itself. This is because these shops often sell the jewellery to refiners who pick apart the gems, melt down the gold, and sell it back to manufacturers.
As a result, going to the nearest place to sell gold might not be the best idea. That is why we Started Dukes – our gold buyers will appraise your specific item and offer a fair price for the entire piece when applicable. If its no longer in style it may simply be worth is weight in gold, most gold buyers will look to buy at a heavy discount but Dukes offers the best rate. Why sell gold anywhere else?
How can I get the most money for my gold?
It’s important to do your research before selling your gold, diamonds, or jewellery – just as you would before making a major purchase. The easiest research is reading online reviews to determine how the customer service is, are they friendly, honest, transparent, do they provide good value? We are certainly proud of the 5 star reputation that we have earned for consistently paying the highest cash for gold prices while always looking for added value in your collections.
We suggest you call a few gold buyers and try to ask “how much do you pay for gold”, most buyers will decline and ask you to come in, some will offer a high price that is to good to be true. Combining the reviews with the service you receive over the phone is the best way to make an informed decision about selling gold.
Our gold buyers will always provide a quote as long as you have the needed information about the purity and the weight. We have no minimums and we will never make you false promises over the phone!
This is how to get the most money for gold without wasting too much time driving to different appraisers.

As one of our missions is to offer education on the business, as well as excellent service and prices, we’ve broken down the 4 Cs for your personal gain:
1. ColorThe colors of diamonds range from yellow to colorless. To the unskilled eye, most diamonds seem to be colorless. However, the majority of diamonds include traces of brown or yellow. The most valuable diamonds are closer to colorless.
2. ClarityThe most brilliant diamonds are the clearest. Most diamonds hold inclusions which are small “birthmarks.” The fewer and smaller inclusions there are in a diamond, the more light is able to pass through, making the stone more valuable.
3. Carat WeightThe weight of a diamond measured in carats is beneficial in determining the value of the stone.When the diamond is weighed, its mass in carats is converted into points.
For instance:1 carat = 100 points50 carats = 50 pointsThe more points your diamond accrues, the more likely your diamond will be sold at a higher price.
4. CutThe beauty of a diamond heavily depends on the quality of cut. This is because the craftsman’s diamond-cutting form and precision directly impacts how light reflects through the diamond. The skill of a diamond cutter determines the ultimate brilliance of a diamond and its qualities.
