That doesn't mean we're just looking for gold bars and platinum ingots, although a gold bar or two is always a nice find. Often it's something you've thought of as pretty worthless which can actually earn you some money.
We'll give you cash for anything which is mostly made from gold, platinum or silver. The gold can be yellow, white or rose coloured, we like them all.
So, now that jewellery isn't suddenly junk because it's broken, knotted, or because some stones have fallen out, And your trophy isn't rubbish because it's dented, scratched or tarnished.
The precious metals in them are still worth good money to you.
Obviously we're interested in items in good working order too.
We are happy to buy the following items:
Have a think, have you got a forgotten little gold mine hidden away in your cupboard, drawers or attic? As well as old jewellery like necklaces, bracelets, rings and broaches, the sort of items which make money are broken watches, commemorative plaques and coins, medals, and cups.
Only one of a pair? It's still worth money to you if it's made from precious metal.
Believe it or not you might even have money tied up in old dental crowns or bridgework which you've hung on to.
If your item has a hallmark stamped into the metal you'll be able to work out roughly what its worth with our online calculator. No hallmark? No problem. If it is gold or platinum we're still interested.
We've been in the business for 25 years and we can do tests to see how pure and how valuable your items really are.
We need the item to be mostly made of one of the precious metals for it to be worth anything to you. If it is we'll weigh it, examine the amount and quality of the precious metal, and work out what they're worth. The price we pay is based on how much of those metals there is in the piece you send us.
If you're in any doubt about whether something is of interest to us, or you need some advice about what it might be worth, please give our trained professional staff a call.
They'll ask you a few questions and if there's money to be made for you they will talk you through what to do.

Please note identification will be required when selling items.
Initially founded in post war London by three partners -Thomas Armstrong, Maurice Goldman and Daniel Silver - to buy dental gold and amalgam, an early decision was made to trade as a partnership rather than seek the anonymous protection of a limited company.
The reasoning then for this was simple ; in a volatile industry where small market changes can have a massive impact on price movements, the partners were prepared to stake everything on their decisions. Above all they were showing their integrity and transparency.
These values soon took hold and were appreciated by a small core of loyal customers, and were in time expanded to include other precious metals , sourced primarily from manufacturing jewellers, silversmiths and jobbing goldsmiths.
After Tom’s demise the business relocated to Luton – at the time an easy commute to both Hatton Garden and Birmingham – and subsequently to Winchester when Daniel semi-retired to Poole.
Sadly the founders are no longer here but their standards and values endure and to this day the firm remains one of the very few unincorporated businesses, whose word really is their bond.
