Sell Gold & Jewellery

The price of gold jewellery has seen a significant increase in recent years. At ORAGOLD, we buy gold jewelry, branded or non-branded, through a quick and reliable process. We specialize in the appraisal of branded jewellery from renowned Greek jewelers such as Lalaounis and Zolotas, as well as pieces from leading international brands like Cartier, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chopard. Gold jewelry remains highly sought after, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also because its resale value can return a significant portion of its original cost—something that doesn’t apply to other items. If you are no longer wearing your old jewellery, selling it can provide you with substantial financial gain. We purchase all types of gold jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces and chains, offering fair prices based on their true value.

Gold Jewellery Carats

The carats of a gold piece indicate the percentage of pure gold it contains. Jewellery made of 24-carat gold is considered 100% pure, whereas 18-carat gold contains 75% gold and 25% other metals.

Other metals are added to enhance specific characteristics, such as color or hardness, while offering a more affordable option. The most common gold carats are: 9k, 14k, 18k, 22k, 24k. The carat stamp can typically be found in visible areas, such as the inside of a ring or the clasp of a necklace.

In some cases, the stamp may be absent, either due to the age of the piece or because the manufacturer chose not to mark a handcrafted item. The carat codes are as follows: 9K = 375, 14K = 585, 18K = 750, 22K = 916, and 24K = 999. In many cases, the workshop’s hallmark is also present, providing information about the origin and quality of the jewelry.

The Value of Branded Jewellery

At ORAGOLD, we value branded gold jewelry not only based on its gold content, but we also take into account its value as a piece of jewellery. A Cartier Love Bracelet 18K or a Bulgari B-Zero1 Ring 18K hold significant value as pre-owned items. The reputation of these renowned brands ensures that similar creations remain highly desirable.

All branded jewelry comes with original documents and boxes, although these may sometimes be lost or damaged over time. If they are available, however, they can significantly increase the value of the jewellery.

These documents provide serial numbers that can be easily verified even by a non-specialised appraiser. However, in some cases, the serial numbers may not have been engraved by the brand but by another jeweler, requiring careful examination. It’s important to note that vintage branded jewellery may not have a serial number due to its age.

Key Factors in Valuing Gold Jewellery.

Each piece of jewellery is assessed by ORAGOLD experts with utmost accuracy and professionalism. The purchase price is determined after considering the following factors:
  • 1 Carats
  • 2 Weight
  • 3 Manufacturer
  • 4 Accompanying certificates and boxes
  • 5 Design
  • 6 Any gemstones

The valuation of non-branded gold jewellery primarily depends on its carats and weight. The higher the carat of the gold, namely its purity, the greater the value. However, other characteristics are also considered and can affect the final price.

Weight is the most important factor in determining the price, as it is multiplied by the price of gold per carat. Additionally, the design and craftsmanship can increase the value of your jewelry. Diamonds, precious, or semi-precious stones can also add significant value to a piece, as they are appraised separately from the gold content, thus raising the overall value.

The color of the gold is also examined carefully during the valuation. Yellow gold is the most popular, followed by white gold and rose gold. At ORAGOLD, we professionally evaluate your gold jewellery and offer you its value in cash.

For any transaction, it is required to present either your ID card or passport.

Valuation of Non-Branded Gold Jewellery

At ORAGOLD, we also purchase non-branded gold jewellery. Initially, the jewelry is valued based on its gold content, with carats being the primary criterion for determining the final price.

The jewellery is then recycled through a specific process, to create new, modern pieces. The substantial increase in the price of gold makes your items even more valuable. In this way, we help reduce the environmental impact caused by the mining of new metals.

Recycling gold not only ensures that precious metals are reused but also that the process is conducted in an environmentally responsible manner. Our commitment to sustainability is another reason to choose ORAGOLD for the sale of your non-branded jewellery.

Calculating the Price of my Jewellery

Calculating the value of your jewelry is a straightforward process. For example, if you have a 14-carat piece weighing 15 grams and the current price for 14K gold is €40 per gram, simply multiply the price by the weight of the jewellery: €40 x 15 grams = €600.

The price per carat will vary, as higher carat gold is worth more. Additionally, as mentioned above, other factors such as the condition, presence of precious stones and the modern design of the piece may also affect the final value.

The final price could exceed the value of the gold content alone. For a more accurate calculation of your jewellery's value, you can visit one of our stores.

How can I tell how many carats my gold jewellery is?

To find out how many carats your gold jewellery is, check for the hallmark usually located in a visible spot on the piece. This stamp indicates the purity of the metal in carats, such as 9K, 14K, 18K, 22K, or 24K, showing the percentage of pure gold.

What else affects the price of my jewellery besides the carat value?

Besides the carat value, the price of a piece of jewellery is determined by several factors. These include the weight of the gold, the year of manufacture, the maker or designer, as well as the presence of precious stones. Additionally, the condition of the jewelry, such as wear or other alterations, can significantly affect its value.

What is the difference between the price of jewellery and the price of gold?

The price of a piece of jewellery is not solely dependent on the value of the gold it contains, but also on other factors such as craftsmanship, design, rarity, and any precious stones. The value of gold refers to its current price as a metal, which is determined by the international precious metals market.

Do you buy jewellery at the gold price or the jewelry price?

We buy jewellery as long as it is branded or in good condition, with a good design that can be resold. If it is not in good condition, it is usually recycled to create new jewellery.

How many carats is 585 gold?

Gold with a code of 585 has a purity of 58.5% in pure gold, which is equivalent to 14 carats. The remaining 41.5% consists of other metals such as silver and copper, which enhance the hardness and durability of the jewellery.​

How do the carats of gold affect its price?

The carats of gold directly affect the price, as a higher purity of pure gold increases its value. 24-carat gold is 99.99% pure, while 22, 18, 14, and 9 carats contain 91.6%, 75%, 58.5%, and 37.5% pure gold, respectively.

How is the payment for my jewellery calculated?

If it is branded jewellery or in good condition, we offer you a jewellery price. If the jewellery is not in good condition, we offer you an excellent gold price.
