Your Gold Earrings Are Worth More Than You Think.
Broken, single, mismatched, or unused it doesn’t matter. At Unique Jewelry Now, we pay on weight and karat purity alone. No deductions for condition. No guesswork. Cash in your bank within 24 hours of acceptance.
The Truth About Your Earrings
Condition Doesn't Determine Value.
Most people hold onto old gold earrings because they assume damage lowers the price. A bent clasp, a missing back, a stone that fell out years ago none of it affects what the metal is actually worth. Gold does not depreciate because it looks worn. Its value comes entirely from how much gold is in it and how pure that gold is.
At Unique Jewelry Now, our valuation process ignores aesthetics completely. We weigh your earrings on calibrated scales and test the exact purity using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) technology the same equipment used by professional assay offices. The result is an offer based entirely on the gold content your piece contains, not what it looks like on a display shelf.
What We Always Pay For
- Single earrings lost the pair? The one you have still contains gold.
- Broken or bent earrings scrap gold is still gold by weight.
- Mismatched sets different styles, different karats, both valued separately.
- Old-fashioned designs the style went out of fashion. The gold did not.
- Damaged clasps and posts the fitting is negligible. The gold content is not.
- Earrings with missing stones we buy the metal, not the decoration.

Our Valuation Centre
Experts Who Know Gold. Not Estimators.
Every earring that arrives at the Unique Jewelry Now London Valuation Centre is handled by a trained precious metals specialist. Not a generalist buyer. Not a pawnbroker. A valuer whose sole focus is accurate, fair assessment of gold, silver, and platinum.
Our team uses XRF fluorescence testing the industry standard for non-destructive purity analysis to verify the exact gold content of every piece. The reading is accurate to fractions of a percent. That number, combined with a precise weight measurement and the live daily London Bullion Market Association spot price, produces your offer. No estimates. No averages. No rounding against you.
Where acid testing gives you a rough carat band, XRF gives you an exact figure. That difference matters when we calculate your offer. And at Unique Jewelry Now, exact figures mean you receive every penny of what your gold is genuinely worth.

Everything You Need to Know
Straightforward answers to the most common questions about selling gold earrings with Unique Jewelry Now.
Yes. A single earring still contains gold. We weigh it, test its purity, and pay you for exactly what the metal is worth. You do not need to have both pieces. Many customers send a single earring they have kept for years after losing the other and receive a meaningful payout. At Unique Jewelry Now, every gram counts.
No. Damage has zero effect on the gold content of an earring. A snapped post, a cracked hoop, a bent clasp — none of it reduces the weight of gold present in the piece. We buy the metal, not the object. Scrap gold and wearable gold are valued identically by weight and purity at Unique Jewelry Now.
We don’t calculate your offer until we physically receive and test your earrings. Once they arrive at our London Valuation Centre, our specialists use XRF testing to determine exact purity and calibrated scales to measure weight precisely. We then apply the LBMA gold spot price for that day. You receive the offer by phone or email on the same day we receive your items — not before, so you are never given an estimate that changes on arrival.
Send them anyway. Our XRF technology identifies the precise gold content of any piece without relying on hallmarks or stamps. Old or overseas earrings often lack UK hallmarks — that is not a problem. The test tells us exactly what is there, and you are paid for the actual purity we find, not a conservative estimate. We will never assume a lower carat to protect our margin.
Your earrings travel in a padded security envelope via Royal Mail Special Delivery — the UK’s most secure postal service. Every pack is tracked from the moment you drop it off to the moment it arrives with us. Your items are fully insured for their declared value throughout transit. In 10,000+ postal transactions, Unique Jewelry Now has never recorded a lost or damaged parcel.
Once you confirm acceptance — by phone, email, or reply message — we process your bank transfer immediately. Payment typically arrives the same day or the following morning, depending on your bank’s processing time. We transfer to any UK or US bank account. You do not need a PayPal, a cheque, or any alternative payment setup. Just a standard bank account.
Nothing. Rejection costs you exactly zero. We return every item free of charge via insured Royal Mail Special Delivery within 24 hours of your decision. You do not pay return postage. You do not pay an assessment fee. You do not owe Unique Jewelry Now anything. Our business only works if you are satisfied with the offer so we have no interest in pressuring you.
Yes. White gold and rose gold are gold alloys — they contain the same gold content as yellow gold of the same carat. 18ct white gold and 18ct yellow gold both contain 75% pure gold. Colour does not affect the offer. We pay on purity and weight alone. Rose gold’s copper alloy and white gold’s rhodium plating are factored out by our XRF testing, so you receive the correct price for the actual gold present.
Yes — send them as they are. Our valuers assess the gold mount by weight and purity, then examine any diamonds or stones separately. You receive an offer for the complete item — gold value plus stone value where applicable. Do not attempt to remove stones yourself, as this can damage both the setting and the gems. We handle all assessment professionally at our London centre.
There is no minimum. A single lightweight stud still contains gold and deserves an honest valuation. That said, if you have multiple pieces — earrings, a broken chain, a few old rings — it is worth sending them together. One pack, one assessment, one combined offer. You save on time and we can process your items as a single transaction. But a single earring on its own is always welcome at Unique Jewelry Now.
