¿Qué tipo de piezas de oro nos interesan?

There are a variety of items made out of gold these days and we are particularly interested in certain items. Although we take most gold items, we do prioritise the following items: 

• Collares
• Anillos como anillos de boda, anillos de compromiso, anillos de eternidad y anillos de cóctel
• Brazaletes
• Tobilleras
• Brooches, especially those with gemstones on them
• Pendientes
• Cufflinks

We accept white, yellow and rose gold even though these aren’t solid gold, as they are popular in the market, but solid gold items will still offer the greatest value.  We are also interested in gold plated pieces, especially if they are a work of art. 

We also love seeing unique gold pieces that are rare! We offer fair prices for each item you bring into our store. 

How much value will used gold jewellery hold?

The value of the jewellery will depend on a range of factors including the condition of the piece and its composition. Here are some factors that might affect how your item is appraised: 

Wear and tear

Items that show signs of wear or tear from being worn such as metal erosion, discolouration, dulling of any gems or stones, scratches and being misshapen will affect the value. It would be best to take them to be cleaned before visiting us to maximise their value. 

Composition 

The composition of the item is also an important factor in determining the price. 

The composition includes whether the piece is solid gold or gold plated, its carat rating and whether it includes any gems or stones and their value. The rarer the item, the higher price it can fetch. Straightforward, right? 

World trends 

Otros factores que pueden afectar el valor son el valor actual de mercado del oro, ya que el mercado puede fluctuar, y la conveniencia de la pieza, ya que esto influirá en lo que vale la pieza debido a la demanda y la facilidad con la que se venderá.

It might even be down to how well you can negotiate with our representatives! 

¿Qué buscamos al tasar una pieza?

At GEM Pawnbrokers, we are experts in appraising jewellery and gold pieces and provide reliable services throughout. There are several things we will be looking for when we appraise your gold and decide its worth. 

Here are some factors we take a look at: 

1. Hallmarks – we will be looking at the hallmarks on the piece as this will tell us the metal content and sometimes who made it. All pieces created in the last decade should have a hallmark on them somewhere unless the item is heavily worn and the hallmark has eroded. If that is the case, be sure to have written proof regarding the manufacturer of the product. 
2. Signs of discolouration – gold should not discolour unless it is gold-plated which is an indicator of the composition of the metal. Gold plated items can require re-plating to maintain their colour and beauty which will affect the value. If the gold's discolouration does not wear off after treatment, you might have a fake on your hands and unfortunately, we typically do not purchase fake gold. 
3. Gems or stones – if the piece includes these we will also appraise them and take them into consideration of value. The more valuable the stone, the higher the price. 

Brands - there are cases where we take a look at who made your piece of jewellery as an indicator of the price. Gold designer items tend to do much better due to their elite status and desirability. Famous jewellery manufacturers also do well in our shops in terms of getting higher value for them. 

1. Overall condition – we will be examining the piece for its condition for any damage that can impact its value.
