Sell your unwanted scrap metal to us
The hallmarking of 15ct gold ceased in 1932. Hence, items of this purity are typically late Victoria or Edwardian.
15 carat gold is a metal alloy containing 62.5% pure gold by weight. The remaining 37.5% is a mix of copper, zinc, or silver.
We buy all items made of 15ct gold, whether hallmarked or not, and our rates are the same. If you have any, they could be of significant value, and we would be happy to assist you in selling them.
You can sell your gold to us using our fast and efficient postal service or by visiting one of our locations for a face-to-face transaction.

Britain withdrew the 15 carat standard in 1932, along with 12 carat, and replaced both with 14 carat. Any genuine British 15ct piece, therefore, predates 1932.
Not for its scrap value, which is based purely on the gold content. But an intact Victorian or Edwardian piece may be worth more at auction than as scrap. If we think that applies to your item, we will tell you and point you to our sister company, RWB Auctions.
No. The price we quote is the price you receive.
Subject to you giving us timely authorisation of payment, we will pay you on the day of receipt (Monday to Friday).
The market price for 15ct gold is currently £60.67 per gram. It is 62.5% pure gold by weight, making it a valuable alloy.
A dealer will generally offer an amount below the live market price because they must generate a profit and cover their operating costs. Gold Traders' currently pay £55.91 / g for 15 carat gold.
The UK Assay Offices abolished 15ct gold as a recognised purity in 1932 in favour of 14ct. 15ct is, therefore, only seen in vintage and antique jewellery. Being 62.5% pure gold, 15 carat is towards the higher end of quality and purity.
Gold Traders are currently paying £55.91 per gram of 15ct gold. We offer a competitive, upfront price in relation to the prevailing 'spot' price.
They're the live market prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium, which change minute by minute. We show them so you can compare them with the rates we pay. No dealer pays the full market price, as every buyer has costs to cover. Gold Traders currently pays 92.1% of it for scrap gold and 95.6% for Sovereigns.
Be wary of any buyer that only shows the market price. Some freepost buyers pay between 40% and 60% of what your items are worth.
