Selling a family collection from Calne
A lot of the gold we see from Calne has been in the family for years. It might be a parent's jewellery box, a drawer of odd earrings, or a few coins kept for a rainy day.
You don't need to sort it first. We split everything into gold, silver and costume jewellery, then group the gold by carat. We weigh each group and show you the price for each one, so you can see exactly where the total comes from.
Gold coins, like sovereigns and Krugerrands, are priced at our coin rates, not as scrap. See what we pay on our gold coins page.
If you're bringing a large collection
- Call us first on 01793 230331, so the right person is free to see you.
- Keep everything together, including broken chains and single earrings.
- Don't clean or repair anything. It won't change the gold value.
- Bring any boxes and papers for watches, as they can add value.
If a piece looks like it could sell for more as jewellery, we'll tell you. Our sister company, RWB Auctions, can sell it for you instead.
What to bring when you sell
Please bring photo ID, like a driving licence or passport, and a recent proof of address, like a utility bill or bank statement.
We ask every seller for this. It helps protect you, and it helps stop stolen goods being sold. If you're selling for someone else, call us first and we'll tell you what we need.
Calne, oxygen and bacon
On 1 August 1774, Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen in his laboratory at Bowood House, just outside Calne. He lived on The Green in Calne while he worked there.
For around two centuries, the town's biggest employer was the C&T Harris bacon factory. At its peak it employed around 2,000 people, and it closed in 1982. Many Calne homes still hold rings, chains and watches from those years.
