Chains, charm bracelets, lockets, signet rings and signed period pieces — fine gold jewellery regularly sells well above its scrap weight at auction.
Get a free gold jewellery valuationGold buyers pay by weight. Auction buyers pay for craftsmanship, maker, period and rarity — a Victorian locket, a 1970s bark-textured bracelet or a signed piece can achieve multiples of its metal value under competitive bidding. We advise honestly when scrap genuinely is the better route.
Carat and weight set the baseline; from there, hallmarks, maker's marks, age, condition and fashion all lift the estimate. Charm bracelets are a good example — collectors prize the individual charms and their stories, not just the gold they contain.
Victorian and later gold charm bracelets are collected for their stories, not their weight.
