A broken chain, damaged ring or an old piece of jewellery may no longer be useful to wear — but that does not necessarily mean the gold has lost its value.
Many people keep broken or unused jewellery at home without realising that it may be possible to sell it based on its gold content.
Broken Jewellery Can Still Have Value
Gold jewellery can become damaged over time. Chains may break, clasps may stop working and jewellery can become bent, scratched or discoloured.
Even when the jewellery is no longer wearable, its gold content can still be evaluated.
Radhvica Gold accepts different forms of gold, including broken, bent, damaged, fire-damaged and unused gold jewellery.
How Is Damaged Gold Evaluated?
The evaluation process focuses on the important characteristics of the gold itself.
Purity Testing
The purity of the gold is assessed to determine its composition.
Radhvica Gold uses XRF technology for purity testing and describes the process as non-destructive.
Weight Measurement
The gold is weighed to determine the quantity being evaluated. The weight measurement is performed transparently, with the customer able to see the displayed weight.
Valuation
The applicable gold rate, purity and weight are considered when determining the value.
What About Old Jewellery?
You don’t necessarily need to keep wearing jewellery simply because it is made of gold.
If you have outdated designs, unused pieces or jewellery that no longer suits you, getting a professional valuation can help you understand what the gold is worth.
Before You Sell
It is useful to understand:
- The purity of your gold
- The weight being considered
- The applicable market rate
- How the valuation is calculated
- The payment process
A transparent evaluation makes these details easier to understand.
Turn Unused Gold Into Value
Instead of leaving broken or unused gold jewellery sitting in a drawer, you can have it professionally evaluated and decide whether selling it makes sense for you.
Radhvica Gold evaluates old, unused, broken and damaged gold based on its purity and weight.
