Estimates convert USD spot to GBP using a live exchange rate. Not financial advice, not a purchase offer, and not a guarantee of what any UK buyer will pay.
Mid-range weights often match chains, bracelets, or multiple pieces sold together. Always weigh without stones if you only want the gold portion.
Separate 9K (375) from 18K (750) before accepting one blended figure; mixed-karat lots often get conservative offers.
18K (750) is the premium UK fineness for many fine jewellers—common on engagement rings and higher-end pieces.
