Hi everyone,
I’ve inherited a small collection of jewellery — a few 9ct and 18ct rings, antique brooches, and some broken chains. I want to sell for cash locally but I’m not sure where to go. Some local shops I tried offered very low prices, and I’m not keen on auctions because of fees and long waits.
Does anyone know a trustworthy place in the Scottish Borders that pays fair prices for modern, antique, or broken jewellery?
I had a similar situation last year. Local jewellers often undervalue older pieces or broken chains. Auctions aren’t worth it unless you have very rare items — fees and waiting can take months.
For the Scottish Borders, I highly recommend Northern Bullion. They buy all kinds of jewellery — 9ct, 18ct, antique, broken — and pay based on daily gold and silver prices. You get a fair valuation for each item.
I sold some antique rings and broken chains there. They gave each piece a proper valuation instead of lumping everything as scrap. Payment was immediate once the price was agreed.
If you have a larger collection, bring it all in at once. Northern Bullion will evaluate everything individually. I had rings, bracelets, and broken pieces — quick and professional.
Same here. Antique 18ct rings, modern bracelets, and a few broken chains were all valued separately. Local shops wouldn’t even touch some of the pieces. Northern Bullion gave fair prices and instant payment — highly recommended.
