We believe trading jewellery should be a simple and transparent process. Since 2012, we have paid the highest prices for gold, silver and platinum pieces from bangles to brooches. Here’s what makes our service different:
Bring your jewellery to our Warrington high-street shop for a rapid jewellery valuation service. Conveniently located between Manchester and Liverpool, we’re just minutes from the M6, M62 and mainline rail links. No appointments are needed, simply check our opening hours and drop in. You’ll receive a free, no-obligation offer on the spot, and immediate payment if you decide to sell.
Not located near Warrington? No problem, you can still benefit from our top prices and 5 star service no matter your location. Request a gold pack via the green button and complete a short form. We will send you a free, insured Royal Mail Special Delivery bag, and secure packaging. You can place your rings, chains, or bangles inside and send it back to us via the Post Office. Most of our sellers are paid on the same day we receive their parcel.
You can bring any precious metal jewellery, gold, silver or platinum into our Warrington shop for a face to face valuation. Our postal service is limited to solid gold pieces only. Either way, the price per gram you will receive is identical whichever option you choose. If you do send any non-gold items to us, we can return these to you free of charge.
Two pieces of information will dictate your payout: item purity and weight. The condition of the jewellery is not factored into our valuation. We will use the current market spot price and calculate a price factoring in the purity and weight of your piece. The price we pay per gram is fixed, so whether you have 1 ring or a jewellery collection you will always obtain our best price. Our XRF analysis will confirm accurate purity in seconds, and our trading standards approved scales will give us a precise weight to 1 decimal place, so you always get a transparent, and evidence based offer.
You can also do an at home valuation for gold items using our value calculator above. You can weigh your items on a digital scale, and try look for any hallmark stamps that detail the purity, such as 375 (9ct) or 750 (18ct). These hallmarks are usually found on clasps or inner bands. Enter these pieces of information into our calculator for an instant online offer.
Need cash quickly? Selling unwanted jewellery can be a smarter alternative than applying for a loan to cover those unexpected financial shortfalls, but only if you know a few insider rules. Keep these points in mind before you visit any buyer:
Under UK hallmarking laws, since 1975 it is a legal requirement for any gold, silver or platinum item over 1g to feature a purity hallmark. Look on the clasp or inside the band for numbers (for gold) such as 375 (9ct), 750 (18ct) or 916 (22ct). If your item is silver you may see a '925 mark'. If your jewellery was produced prior to this act, bought internationally, its too worn to read, or you just can’t find a mark our in-store XRF analyser can confirm purity in seconds at no charge.
| Carat Measure | Modern Hallmark | Traditional Hallmark | Gold Purity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 Carat | 999 | 24CT | 100% |
| 22 Carat | 916 | 22CT | 91.6% |
| 18 Carat | 750 | 18CT | 75.0% |
| 14 Carat | 585 | 14CT | 58.5% |
| 9 Carat | 375 | 9CT | 37.5% |
| Purity | Hallmark |
|---|---|
| 99% Silver | 999 |
| 92.5% Silver | 925 |
| 90% Silver | 900 |
| 80% Silver | 800 |
Spoting plated jewellery from solid can be tricky, as visually they can look identical. Plating covers a base metal with a thin layer gold or silver, only microns thick. This gives the look of a solid piece at a fraction of the cost. Here are some easy ways you can spot the difference before you look to sell:
Still can’t tell the difference? Bring your jewellery to our Warrington store and we’ll test it in seconds, free of charge and with no obligation to sell.
Because the precious metal layer is only a few microns thick, plated jewellery has virtually no melt or scrap value. The item may carry value if the base metal has value, for example gold plated silver. Refiners would spend more extracting the coating than the metal is worth. For the best return, focus on solid gold, silver or platinum pieces.
All our jewellery valuations are provided no obligation, we always encourage our customers to compare prices locally as we are confident we won't be beaten.
Absolutely. As dedicated jewellery buyers, we will purchase all gold, silver and platinum items in any condition, whether the pieces are scratched, broken, snapped or missing stones. If you wondering how to sell broken gold jewellery at a fair price. We will value the damaged pieces based on weight and purity. Our process is really simple:
We suggest you ensure that you genuinely want to sell your jewellery as once we purchase it, it will be melted, recycled and sold into the jewellery trade to make more beautiful pieces.
We aim to offer the best prices for silver and gold jewellery in the North-West, and best of all there are no commissions or hidden fees.
Tip: the higher the purity and weight, the higher the valuation.
Yes, immediate payment is standard at Cheshire Gold Xchange.
Whether you choose walk in to our store or post your jewellery to us, you’ll receive a quick, secure service which is backed by five-star local reviews and decades of expertise.
Yes. If you decide to sell your jewellery in-store, under the UK Money-Laundering Regulations, all high value dealers will require one form of photo ID to be presented. We will accept a current photo driving licence or passport. These simple ID checks protect both you and us from any fraudulent activity and is standard practice for reputable buyers.
Precious metal prices are trading close to record highs in 2025, with price records being broken for gold and silver. Spot prices move every minute while the markets are open. The prices are driven by global demand, supply and currency movements. As we peg all our offers to the live spot price and refresh the prices displayed on our website every five minutes, you’re guaranteed to receive an accurate, up to date, and true market value for your jewellery.
Ultimately, the right moment to cash in comes down to your personal circumstances and motivations. However, when prices sit at or near all time highs, it’s rarely a bad time to unlock the value in jewellery you no longer wear.
Yes, we do. We can offer mobile valuations and can meet you anywhere in the Cheshire area including Warrington, Helsby, Frodsham, Runcorn, Widnes, Northwich, Lymm, Altrincham, Knutsford, Manchester, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, the Wirral, Heswall and Chester. We have a mobile XRF scanner and scales, so we are able to offer you accurate, fast and efficient valuations away from our store. This type of valuation is reserved mainly for larger value collections, but please call us to discuss your requirements.
Yes, you can! Give us a call and tell us the jewellery type, approximate weight and if you can see any hallmarks to identify purity and we’ll give you a realistic ballpark figure on the phone. The final offer will be confirmed once we scan and weigh the item ourselves.
Yes, you can to the right buyer. The UK Hallmarking Act 1973 only applies to traders “in the course of business,” so there is no restriction on private individuals selling un-hallmarked jewellery. Not all buyers will purchase un-hallmarked pieces, but at Cheshire Gold Xchange we have the sophisticated equipment to tell us the exact purity without relying on hallmarks. We will buy any pieces bought internationally or older heirloom pieces without any reduction to our offer.
Designer label or branded pieces can command a premium above melt value in some circumstances. For example, we may pay higher above our usual price per gram for a gold Cartier wedding band, this is because the brand name can carry value in addition to the precious metal value. This pricing is reserved for high end branded pieces. For modern mass-produced items, that are not manufactured by a luxury brand, that may be considered “every-day wear”, this will usually sell for its intrinsic metal value.
Yes, we do. Its a common misconception that different coloured gold’s will attract different valuations.
There are various colours of gold jewellery commonly seen including yellow, white, and rose gold, these are all manufactured in various purity (carat) levels. If you are looking to sell rose gold or white gold jewellery, you will receive the same price as our usual yellow gold offers. This is because despite the colour, the gold content is established by the hallmark stamp, so 9 carat rose or white will have the same pure gold content as yellow, and thus the same price. It is just the choice of alloys mixed with the gold that changes the colour, or a plating layer.
We purchase all sterling silver (925) and higher grade alloys. Including:
Yes, we do. As we are specialist precious-metal buyers, our offers for antique jewellery reflect the metal content rather than any collectable value. In rare circumstances antique pieces of jewellery may achieve higher prices in auction. For example, if the piece is made by a notable historic designer or jeweller this may carry a price premium. Remember, age alone doesn’t instantly guarantee value above gold or silver weight. If you prefer a fast, risk-free pay out, no auction fees, and no waiting then bring your vintage pieces for a on the spot valuation. You’re always welcome to seek multiple opinions first; we’ll still be here if you choose a direct sale later.
Yes you can sell Indian gold, we buy all Asian gold and Gold sourced from the Middle East. Indian Gold is often identified by its intricate designs, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.

It’s a common problem when we throw our super thin curb, or rope necklaces into the dressing table drawer, when we come to get them out again they have miraculously tangled themselves into a tight gold knot! We often never bother wearing these again, as these tangled necklaces can be extremely difficult to separate, the gold chain links can often get damaged or bent in the process rendering them unwearable. At Cheshire Gold Xchange, we buy anything gold, including those pesky, tangled gold chains, and transform them into quick cash for you.
Even if your gold chains are in a tangled mess and seem worthless, these are still made from an extremely valuable metal. Gold’s worth is determined by its weight and purity, no matter the condition. So even if your gold chains are knotted into a ball, they still hold significant value.
Even if your gold chains are tangled and seem unusable, they still contain a highly valuable precious metal. Gold’s worth is determined by its weight and purity, not by its condition. So, even if your chains are knotted beyond recognition, they still have significant monetary value.
We buy all gold chains, necklaces, and bracelets whether they are tangled, broken, snapped or in great condition. You can sell tangled gold necklaces from curb chains, rope chains, herringbone necklaces, belcher chain, ball chain, and venetian chains.
