Understanding Your Payout
Three Factors That Determine Your Offer
Every gold ring valuation at Unique Jewelry Now comes down to three measurable factors. Not how old the ring is. Not whether it’s fashionable. Not whether it’s damaged. Just science, weight, and the live market. Here is exactly what we calculate.
01
Karat Purity
The karat of your ring tells us what percentage of the alloy is pure gold. 9ct contains 37.5% gold. 18ct contains 75%. 24ct is pure gold at 99.9%. Higher karat means more gold per gram so the offer scales proportionally. Our XRF technology reads the exact purity, not just the stamped hallmark.
02
Weight in Grams
We use precision calibrated scales to weigh every ring to the milligram. You are paid for every fraction of gold present we never round down or apply arbitrary weight deductions. A heavy signet ring pays more than a lightweight stud of the same karat, because it contains more gold by mass.
03
Live Market Rate
Our offers are calculated using the daily LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) gold spot price the global benchmark for gold trading. We update our rates every morning. You sell at the real market value of gold today, not an in-house figure set to protect our margin.
Condition never affects your offer. Broken shanks, scratched surfaces, bent hoops, missing stones none of it changes the gold content. Unique Jewelry Now buys the metal, not the object. Damaged rings are valued identically to pristine ones by weight and purity.
Our Gemstone Policy
What Happens to the Stones in Your Ring?
Many gold rings contain diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or other gemstones set into the band. A lot of gold buyers ignore stones entirely or worse, deduct for them. At Unique Jewelry Now, we assess every stone individually as part of your valuation.
Our process is straightforward and completely transparent. Once we receive your ring, our gemmological specialists examine any stones alongside the gold valuation. You receive a single combined offer that reflects the full value of everything your ring contains metal and gems together.

Our Testing Process
XRF Testing — The Gold Standard of Accuracy
When your rings arrive at our London Valuation Centre, they go straight to our precious metals specialists. Not a generalised buyer a trained valuer whose sole focus is accurate purity testing and fair price calculation.
We use X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology — the same equipment used by professional assay offices to determine the precise gold content without damaging your rings. The result is accurate to fractions of a percent. Combined with calibrated precision scales and the live LBMA spot price, your offer is based entirely on measurable fact, not estimation.

Everything You Need to Know
Honest answers to the most common questions about selling gold rings with Unique Jewelry Now.
Yes — and it will receive exactly the same offer as an undamaged ring of the same weight and karat. Condition has no bearing on gold’s intrinsic metal value. A cracked shank, a bent band, a ring snapped in two none of it changes the grams of gold present. Unique Jewelry Now pays for the metal content, not the appearance. Send it as-is; no preparation is needed.
Absolutely. Many older rings particularly antique, Asian, or overseas pieces do not carry a UK hallmark. That is not a problem. Our XRF testing equipment identifies the precise purity of any metal without relying on stamps or markings. We test what is actually there and pay you for the real gold content not a conservative estimate based on the absence of a hallmark.
We assess every stone individually as part of your valuation. If the gemstones have commercial value, your offer is increased to reflect them. If the stones are too small or low-grade to affect the price meaningfully, we remove them and return them to you via insured post at no cost. You receive a full breakdown gold value and stone value before you decide anything.
You fill in the form. We post your free insured pack (1–2 days). You place your rings inside and drop the envelope at any Post Office using the prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery label. Keep your receipt for the tracking number. Once we receive your rings, we test them on the same day and send you a valuation offer. Accept and payment arrives within 24 hours. Decline and your rings return free. The entire process takes 3–5 business days from posting to payout.
The LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) publishes the official global gold spot price twice daily. It is the international benchmark used by banks, central banks, and refineries worldwide. Unique Jewelry Now calculates offers using the LBMA morning price on the day we receive your rings. That means your payout reflects what gold actually traded at on the global market today not an arbitrary in-house rate. If gold prices are high, your offer is higher.
Simply decline there are no consequences. We return every ring via insured Royal Mail Special Delivery within 24 hours at absolutely no cost to you. No admin fee. No return postage charge. No pressure to reconsider. We believe you should only sell when the offer feels right, so we make it straightforward to say no. Your rings, your decision, your timeline.
Yes. We purchase platinum rings (PT950, PT999) and palladium rings (Pd500, Pd950) at live daily spot prices for each metal. Platinum and palladium are assessed using the same XRF technology we use for gold precise purity confirmation, calibrated weight, live market rate. Include them in your pack alongside any gold rings and they will be valued in the same assessment.
That is a personal decision but in purely monetary terms, yes. A standard 18ct yellow gold wedding band weighing 4–6 grams can be worth significantly more than most people expect, particularly when gold prices are elevated. Many customers are surprised by the offer they receive. Requesting a free pack and getting a valuation carries zero obligation. You can see exactly what your ring is worth and decide from there with no pressure and no cost if you choose not to sell.
Yes. If you have a legitimate written offer from a regulated gold buyer, share it with us. We operate a price-beat guarantee we will exceed any competitive offer because our pricing is rooted in XRF-verified purity and live LBMA market rates, not estimation. We earn your business through a better price, not a harder sales pitch.
You can send multiple rings — and other gold items — in a single pack. There is no limit per envelope up to the insured postal weight limit. Sending multiple pieces together saves time and means one combined offer for everything. If you have a large collection or high-value items (heavy gold sovereigns, multiple diamond rings), call us at 501-859-1282 first and we will advise on additional insurance cover before you post.
