We Buy Gold: Turn Broken Chains and Unworn Jewellery into Cash

If you’ve got gold tucked away in a drawer — a broken chain, a single earring, an unworn gift — it could be worth real money. At Give Me The Cash we buy gold in almost any form, from 9ct scrap to 22ct jewellery, and the process is simpler than most people expect. Here’s what sells, how valuation works, and how to turn it into cash without leaving home.

What gold do we buy?

More than you might think — see what we buy for the full list. Common items include:

• 9ct, 14ct, 18ct and 22ct gold — chains, bracelets, rings, brooches and charms.
• Broken jewellery — snapped chains, missing earrings, damaged clasps. The gold itself still has value.
• Single earrings — lost the other one? The remaining one still sells.
• Unworn or out-of-fashion pieces — heavy yellow-gold chains from the 80s and 90s are especially sought after right now.
• Dental gold — crowns and bridgework often contain valuable gold alloy.

What is my gold worth?

Gold is valued on two things: weight and purity (the carat). Prices track the live gold market, which has been strong in recent years. A hallmark tells you the carat — 375 is 9ct, 585 is 14ct, 750 is 18ct, 916 is 22ct — but if you’re unsure, don’t worry. We test and weigh everything properly before making an offer, so you always get a fair price based on what the item actually is.

Sell or loan?

Alongside buying, we offer a buy-or-loan service. If you’d rather borrow against your gold and get it back later, that’s an option — you get cash upfront and your item is returned when the loan is settled. If you’d rather sell outright, we’ll buy it there and then. There’s no pressure either way.

How it works: the free postage pack

You don’t need to visit a shop. Request our free postage pack, pop your gold in, and send it tracked and insured. Once it arrives, we test and weigh your items, make an offer, and pay you the same day you accept. If you change your mind, we return your items at no cost.
