Is Now the Perfect Time to Sell Your Gold?
If you've got old gold jewellery tucked away in a drawer or jewellery box, now could be the perfect time to find out what it's worth.
With gold prices remaining at exceptionally high levels, many people are discovering that unwanted gold rings, necklaces, bracelets and even broken pieces of jewellery are worth far more than they ever imagined. Items that have sat forgotten for years could now be worth hundreds—or even thousands—of pounds.
At Cash Generator, we make it easy to sell your gold for cash. Simply visit your local store for a free, no-obligation valuation from one of our experienced team members. If you're happy with our offer, you'll receive instant cash there and then.
Why are so many people selling their gold?
Gold is one of the world's most valuable commodities, and its price changes every day based on global market conditions.
In recent years, gold prices have reached exceptionally high levels, making now an attractive time for many people to sell unwanted gold.
Like any commodity, however, the value of gold can rise just as easily as it can fall. While nobody can predict exactly what prices will do next, many people are choosing to take advantage of today's strong market rather than waiting to see what happens.
If you've been thinking about selling your unwanted gold, now could be an excellent time to find out what it's worth.
Check your drawers – you might be surprised!
Most of us have gold jewellery we no longer wear.
Perhaps it's an old chain that's broken, a ring that no longer fits, a single earring after the other was lost, unwanted gifts or inherited jewellery that's simply been sitting in a drawer for years.
Many people assume these items have very little value.
In reality, you could be sitting on a surprising amount of money without even realising it.
Take a few minutes to check your jewellery box, bedside drawer or cupboard. You may be amazed at what you find.
What gold does Cash Generator buy?
We will buy all gold items, including:
- Gold rings
- Gold necklaces
- Gold chains
- Gold bracelets
- Gold earrings
- Gold bangles
- Gold charms
- Broken gold jewellery
- Scrap gold
- Unwanted gold jewellery
Does broken gold still have value?
Absolutely.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that broken jewellery has no or little value.
Broken chains, bent rings, damaged bracelets and single earrings can all still be worth considerable money because the value often comes from the gold itself rather than whether the item can still be worn.
That's why it's always worth having your gold professionally valued before deciding what to do with it.
How is my gold valued?
Our experienced team will professionally assess your gold using several factors, including:
- The purity of the gold (carat)
- The overall weight
- The current market value of gold
- The type of item
If you're happy with our offer, you'll receive instant cash there and then.
