Sell your old gold jewellery and unwanted gold
Do you have unwanted, broken or outdated gold or silver jewellery? The team at Christchurch Gold can assist you to exchange your unwanted items in a safe, warm and friendly environment. No matter what condition it’s in, we’re ready to buy your gold jewellery for a great price. Much like selling bullion to Christchurch Gold, the process to sell gold jewellery is efficient and easy.
Items we buy include necklaces, wedding bands, rings, chains, bangles, earrings, pendants and more. Contact our expert team of gold buyers to get started.
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Got a broken clasp or an outdated chain?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.
