Rothbury – Best Place to Sell Gold & Silver Jewellery?

Hi all,

I’m in Rothbury and thinking of selling some jewellery — a broken 9ct gold chain, a couple of 18ct rings, and some silver items that I don’t wear anymore. I tried a local jeweller but the offer was much lower than I expected.

Can anyone suggest a place nearby where I could get a fair valuation?

I’m in Alnwick and had a similar problem with local shops. I went to Northern Bullion. You go in person, everything is weighed and tested, and their gold and silver prices are updated daily on the website so you can check before visiting.

Auctions really aren’t worth it — they take ages to sell and the commission rates are far too high. For scrap or broken jewellery, visiting somewhere in person is much quicker and more transparent.

I’m in Newcastle upon Tyne and used Northern Bullion for some 18ct rings and old silverware. I also checked their gold and silver calculator online first to get an idea of value, and the in-person valuation matched perfectly.

Don’t rush into the first offer. Seeing the gold and silver tested and weighed in front of you makes a huge difference. I’ve been to Northern Bullion a few times and sold some 925 silver chains and coins, a broken 9ct gold bracelet, and even an antique silver teapot. They’re very transparent about pricing compared to local shops.
