For example, a 10-gram 18ct gold chain would be calculated as 10g x $130.74 (the live 18ct rate). Note: We pay exactly what is listed here with absolutely no hidden fees or commissions deducted. Stones and gems are not included in the gold weight valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will Christchurch Gold pay for my gold jewellery?

Christchurch Gold estimates your payout by multiplying the verified metal weight in grams by the current payout rate for the item’s purity. For example, if the current 9ct gold rate is $55.76 per gram, a 10 gram 9ct item would estimate at $557.60 before final verification.

Are the calculator rates live?

Yes. The calculator uses market-linked rates that update throughout the trading day. The page displays the current per-gram rates and the last updated time.

Do I need to post my jewellery before knowing the price?

No. Christchurch Gold provides an upfront online estimate before you post your jewellery. Customers can sell in person by appointment in Christchurch or use the free insured nationwide mail-in service.

Is the calculator payout guaranteed?

The quoted rate can be locked in when submitted, but the final payout depends on professional verification of the item’s weight, purity, condition, and any stones or non-metal components.

Our Difference: We provide a Quote BEFORE You Post

Posting your Jewellery without an agreed upfront value puts you at a huge disadvantage—often leaving you with a lower rate and a complete lack of transparency over what spot price* was used to generate your offer.

We do things differently. We fully insure your items while they are in the mail and we agree to a price* before you ever post them. With us, you remain fully protected and entirely in the driver's seat from start to finish.

Unlock the Hidden Value Lying Around Your Home

Countless Kiwis have unworn, damaged, or inherited gold items sitting in drawers, completely unaware of their true cash value. Whether you possess white, rose, or classic yellow gold—provided it is genuine, solid gold—you can trust Christchurch Gold to provide an exceptional payout*.

Tastes change, and styles evolve. Instead of holding onto heavy chains or mismatched earrings that no longer suit you, liquidate those assets. We guide you through a comfortable, professional process, turning old memories into fresh funds you can actually use.

Unwanted Necklaces

Got a broken clasp or an outdated chain? We accept solid gold necklaces in any condition. Don't worry if you've lost the original receipts or formal appraisals—they aren't required to get a great payout*.

Bracelets & Bangles

Delicate bracelets frequently snap, and chunky bangles can quickly go out of fashion. Turn those broken links into funds for a holiday, a renovation, or a new piece of jewellery that better fits your current style.

Rings & Wedding Bands

Sometimes a ring represents a closed chapter. If you have gone through a separation, or inherited a band that holds no emotional significance to you, selling it is a practical way to move forward and treat yourself.

Scrap & Single Earrings

Lost a matching earring? Don’t let the remaining one go to waste. We readily purchase single earrings, odd studs, and bent hoops simply for the value of their precious metal.

Items We Cannot Process

Gemstones and Diamonds: Our valuations are based strictly on precious metal weight. We do not buy diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or other stones. If your piece features stones, we suggest having a local jeweller remove them for you to keep. Otherwise, we can purchase the gold setting, but the estimated weight of the stones will be subtracted from the total offer.

Gold-Plated Jewellery: We only buy solid gold, silver, and platinum. We cannot accept gold-plated or "rolled gold" items. Unsure what you have? Reach out to our team—we are happy to test your items professionally to verify their purity.

Secure Transactions — Locally in Christchurch or Nationwide via Courier

Deal with fully licensed and insured precious metal specialists with over 10 years of combined industry experience, committed to giving you the best return in New Zealand.

*Note: Our calculator locks in your quoted rate at current spot price. The final payout is subject to verification the weight, condition and purity using professional equipment. If different, the quote will be updated using the quote spot price based on the corrected units.
