Every gold ring valuation at Unique Jewelry comes down to three measurable factors. Not age, fashion or damage, just science, weight and the live market. Here's exactly what we calculate.
The karat tells us what share of the alloy is pure gold: 10K is 41.7%, 18K is 75% and 24K is 99.9%. Higher karat means more gold per gram, so your offer scales with it. XRF reads the exact purity, not just the stamp.
Every ring is weighed to the milligram on calibrated scales, and you're paid for every fraction of gold. We never round down. A heavy signet ring pays more than a light band of the same karat because it holds more gold.
Offers use the daily LBMA gold price, the global benchmark for gold trading, updated every morning. You sell at today's real market value, not an in-house figure set to protect our margin.
Many gold rings have diamonds, rubies, sapphires or other gems set into the band. Some buyers ignore stones entirely, or even deduct for them. We assess every stone individually as part of your valuation.
Our specialists examine any stones alongside the gold, and you receive one combined offer reflecting the full value of everything your ring contains.
If your diamond or gem is commercial grade, we add it to your offer, so you get more than the gold value alone.
If stones are too small or low-grade to change the price, we remove them and return them to you free.
You see the breakdown before you decide: gold value, stone value and total offer. No surprises, no hidden deductions.
Any style, any era, any condition. If it contains gold, platinum or palladium, we want to see it.
When your rings arrive, they go straight to our precious metals specialists: trained valuers focused on accurate purity testing and fair pricing, not general buyers.
We use X-ray fluorescence (XRF), the same technology professional assay offices use, to measure the exact gold content without damaging your rings. Together with calibrated scales and the live LBMA gold price, your offer is based on measured fact, not estimation.
