Sell Your Gold, Silver & Platinum
Gold is at an all-time high in 2026. Now is the best time in years to turn unwanted jewellery into cash — and David Christopher Jewellers makes it simple, honest and rewarding.
Find Your Nearest Store →At David Christopher Jewellers we believe every piece of jewellery has a story — even if it's broken, worn, or simply no longer your style. That's why we offer a trusted, transparent gold buying service across all 8 of our UK stores, or by post if you can't get to us.
Whether it's a tangled chain, a single earring without its partner, a ring that no longer feels right, or a bag of old broken pieces gathering dust in a drawer — we're here to give those pieces a new life and put real money in your pocket.
No appointment needed. No pressure. No obligation. Just a fair, honest valuation from a family jeweller with over 40 years of experience.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Sell
Gold prices reached record highs in 2026 — which means the value of your unwanted jewellery has never been higher. Even small amounts of gold jewellery can be worth significantly more than you might expect.
A 9ct gold ring that might have fetched £50 a few years ago could be worth considerably more today. Old chains, broken bangles, mismatched earrings — items sitting in a drawer for years are now genuinely valuable.
If you've been meaning to clear out your jewellery box, there's never been a better time to do it and get paid well for it.
What Happens to Your Jewellery?
We're a jeweller first — so when we buy your gold, some pieces go back into our pre-owned jewellery collection where they find new owners who'll love them. Other items are recycled responsibly through our metal refining partners. Either way, nothing goes to waste.
Selling your old jewellery is also one of the most sustainable choices you can make — giving existing pieces new life rather than contributing to new mining and production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment to sell my gold?
No — all of our stores accept walk-ins for gold valuations. Just bring your items along during opening hours.
Can I sell my gold without visiting a store?
Yes — use the "Sell By Post" form above. Submit your details and photos of your items for an initial assessment, and if you're happy to proceed we'll confirm how to send your items to us securely, fully insured.
How is the value of my gold calculated?
We assess the weight and carat of your gold and apply the current daily gold spot price, transparently in front of you (or, for postal submissions, against the photos and description you provide).
What if I'm not happy with the offer?
There is absolutely no obligation to sell. Take your items away with no pressure or hard sell — or, for postal submissions, simply decline and we'll return your items.
Can I sell broken or damaged jewellery?
Yes — condition doesn't matter. Broken chains, bent rings, items with missing stones are all welcome. We buy for the metal value.
Is there a minimum amount I can sell?
No minimum. Even a small amount of gold jewellery can be worth a surprisingly good amount at current prices.
Do you buy gold coins and sovereigns?
Yes — we buy gold sovereigns and coins. Bring them into any store, or include them in a postal submission, for a free valuation.
Will I need to provide ID?
Not at the enquiry stage. If you decide to go ahead with a sale, we'll ask for identification at that point — required by UK anti-money laundering regulations for buying precious metals, same as we'd do in store.
How do you pay?
We pay by bank transfer once your items have been verified at our head office — typically within the same week of your visit or the receipt of a postal submission.
