Post them to this jewellery firm http://lois-bullion.com/ if you want the best price for the items.
Or post them to this bullion dealer https://www.hattongardenmetals.com/ for the second best price.
I think it's around £7 to post for up to £2,000 insurance cover.
Try googling - Lois Jewellery User Reviews or Hatton Garden Metals User Reviews for plenty of other people's opinions.
What if its Welsh gold ?
Then ask for the valuation in welsh??? :shrug:
(only joking :hehe:)
Thanks so far, will expect some more hints before we decide, pretty sure they are not welsh gold. Should have said in my original thread that some have diamonds in them and some are just all gold.
You won't get anything for the stones inset in them.
If you're in no hurry to sell the jewellery and fancy an eye-opening insight into the sharks who prey on the unwary along High Streets, you may want to take the items into jewellers who buy scrap gold for price quotes to learn what cowboys they are. Ramsdens are arch-shysters who make Cash Converters appear saintly in comparison. For a laugh, also try Gold Reserves on the ground floor of Cardiff indoor market as that mob will insist they offer great value even when presented with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, and they'll do so with a straight face.
Wow that is an eye opener thanks.Quote:

They'd have made £1,200 off of that just by popping it in the post to Lois, or more likely an awful lot more by selling it themselves. She got the hump when I suggested her company was exploiting the gullible, and almost blew a fuse when asked if she possessed any integrity. Twas funny as feck watching her squirm.
I wonder who is behind such businesses ……… hmm
Mostly Jews. As British as you.Quote:

It is valued for its scarcity. By the way, the amount if Welsh gold in many pieces of jewellery market as containing Welsh gold usually contain just a miserly 1% of said metal. Some up to 10%.Quote:
