Why does the gold price matter?
Good question. Gold goes up and down in price just like stocks or currencies. We work on the live gold price so that you can take advantage of the current high gold price trends, unlike the price-per-gram system used by other gold buyers that often results in you getting less than what your gold is worth.
Can I get my gold back later?
Unfortunately, if you choose to sell with us, your jewellery will no longer be available. However, you can choose to get your gold replaced with gold investment bullion with our unique GoldSwap program. Ask one of our specialists for more information.
Why does my gold go black?
While pure gold never tarnishes, occasionally, gold jewellery is alloyed with less valuable metals that react against your skin.
Why is there other metal in the clasp?
The spring may be metal or the clasp may be hardened with other alloys to alleviate the possibility of breakages.
Is gold magnetic?
Pure gold is not magnetic. If your gold jewellery seems magnetic, it’s because it has been mixed with other metals.
Why does gold have different colours such as white, rose, and yellow?
Pure gold is yellow. If the refiner mixes the gold with silver, platinum or palladium, this will result in white gold. Mixing pure gold with copper will result in red or rose gold.
What is the difference been 9ct and 18ct gold?
It’s all to do with the fractional purity of the gold. For instance, 9ct gold is 9 parts of 24 (the purest form of gold.) 18ct is 18 parts of 24, so it’s twice as pure as 9ct.
Why is 24ct gold only 99.9% and not 100% pure?
99.9% is the purest form to which gold can be humanly refined – making it so pure that it may as well be 100% anyway!
Will gold rust?
Pure gold will never rust, corrode, or tarnish. It’s a unique metal.
Will gold change colour over time?
Pure gold will never change colour.

Is yellow gold and white gold a different price?
