You'll see the wording 'scrap gold' used on our website and elsewhere, but don't think of this as a demeaning phrase. It's a generic term used within the industry to describe unwanted gold, which can be reused or recycled by melting and refining.

Scrap differs from conventional waste in that scrap retains a monetary value, usually from its residual metal. For scrap gold, its monetary value is its precious metal content. It doesn't matter what condition it's in - if it's made of gold, we'll offer to buy it.

For example, we treat pre-owned gold jewellery as scrap gold. Parts could be damaged, unwearable or tarnished. Take a permanently broken 9ct gold watch: its intended purpose is no longer of any use unless you're satisfied with being able to tell the time correctly just twice a day. But you can salvage the gold value from the watch by selling it to a reputable dealer, such as us. Providing the watch passes our XRF testing machine; we'll make you a fair and competitive offer based on the watch's scrap gold content.

Scrap Gold Prices UK

Gold Traders UK is one of the few gold dealers that do not give different quotes for hallmarked and non-hallmarked gold. We offer the same, fair rate for both, giving you the best deal possible. Below, you'll see dedicated price calculators for the most popular gold carat types in the UK. Use it to compare our rate against other dealers - we offer over 95% of the market value on scrap gold.

Some unscrupulous 'cash for gold' companies offering free envelopes you hear on the radio or see in adverts offer barely 50% of the market value. We've even seen quotes from other companies for as little as 20%.

We strongly recommend you check our rates using the calculators below before selling your gold. Remember, our valuation will be based on our lowest 'scrap gold' rates, with no upper adjustment for gold coins with numismatic / bullion value or jewellery with retail value.

While gold has enjoyed a historic 21st-century run, the price, which includes scrap gold, can go up and down like any investment. Gold Traders uses the gold price from the London Bullion Market Association to offer you our fairest price—always upfront.

The value of gold has increased significantly in recent years, so now is an excellent time to sell scrap gold. Unfortunately, no one can accurately predict the future gold market, so it's pretty hard to say whether it'll continue to rise.

Thanks to the gold market's impressive recent results, your scrap gold jewellery could be worth more than you think.

Scrap gold usually contains other metals, which must first be separated through a specialised refining process. Once the gold has been refined back to its pure form it will reused, most likely within the jewellery industry. Gold Traders can begin this recycling process with a positive first step: our fairest price, for you.

Rolled gold jewellery has a thin layer of gold foil bonded onto the surface of a base metal or sometimes silver. The process of creating rolled gold was developed in England in the 19th century.

Sometimes called gold vermeil or gold filled, rolled gold is generally considered better than gold plated items.

Gold Traders is pleased to confirm we're now able to accept rolled gold items.

As an internationally traded commodity, the market rate for precious metals changes minute by minute. To be transparent, we publish the live market metal prices so that you can compare our rates with the live price.

If you scroll back up this page, you'll see the rates we pay.

You will probably come across other dealers who quote their 'scrap' prices at surprisingly similar rates to the live metal price. Be very wary of sending your items to a dealer who only quotes the live price. Please remember the dealer is looking to make a profit, and they will have their overheads to cover. You will never receive the live metal price for scrap gold, silver, platinum or palladium from any dealer.

If you read their small print very carefully, you'll likely discover that the 'price' they quote online isn't a genuine indication of what you're likely to receive. These dealers can offer you between 40% - 60% of the actual value of your items.
