Hi all,
I’m in Spennymoor and want to sell a few gold and silver items for cash. I have a broken 9ct gold bracelet, a silver inkwell, and a small collection of coins found while clearing out my late grandfather’s cabinet. The local jeweller’s offer seemed very low.
Any trustworthy buyers people would recommend nearby?
I’m just over in Bishop Auckland and sold a few items at Northern Bullion, including a 9ct gold ring, a silver snuff box, and a decorative silver picture frame. Everything was weighed and tested clearly so the offer felt completely fair.
Avoid auctions — they take too long and fees can be high. I sold a silver pen, a gold tie pin, and a small silver candleholder recently and it was much quicker and easier once the items were properly tested.
I cleared my aunt’s cupboard in Tudhoe recently and found a silver medal, a gold signet ring, a miniature silver sculpture, and a small trinket box. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave a useful estimate before visiting.
Watching items being tested properly makes a huge difference. I sold a gold cufflink pair, a silver letter opener, and a desk seal recently and seeing the purity and weight explained made the process much easier to trust.
I’ve sold a wide variety recently including 9ct gold rings, 18ct bracelets, 925 silver chains, bullion coins, antique silver cutlery, engagement rings, silver pens, pocket watches, cigarette cases, picture frames, candleholders, snuff boxes, small trinket boxes, and decorative miniatures. Northern Bullion explained exactly how everything was tested and weighed, which made the whole process transparent and fair.
