Sell Gold Jewellery in Pretoria

Turn unworn, inherited or broken gold jewellery into cash. We give you a free, transparent valuation — at your home or our Menlyn Maine office — and pay you on the spot.

Gold Exchange Pretoria buys all gold jewellery — rings, chains, bracelets, earrings and pendants — in every karat from 9ct to 24ct, and in any condition. Whether it's a single broken chain or a full jewellery box you've inherited, you get a free valuation and instant payment, with no obligation to sell.

What gold jewellery we buy

Any karat is welcome: 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct and 24ct. Not sure what you have? Send us a photo and we'll tell you.

How we price your gold jewellery

Your payout is based on three things: the weight of the gold, its purity (karat), and the current gold price, which moves daily. We test purity and weigh every piece on a calibrated scale in front of you — nothing happens out of sight. At our Menlyn Maine office we confirm exact purity with a professional Thermo Scientific XRF (X-ray) analyser. Higher-karat gold contains more pure gold, so it pays more per gram. Any diamonds or gemstones can be removed and returned to you, or valued separately.

How it works

  1. WhatsApp a photo of your jewellery — we send a personalised estimate, usually within 30 minutes.
  2. We come to you anywhere in Gauteng, or you visit our Menlyn Maine office by appointment.
  3. We test and weigh everything in front of you and make a firm offer.
  4. You get paid on the spot — cash or instant EFT. If you're not happy, you simply keep your gold.

Don't scrap sentimental or broken pieces before a valuation. Even damaged jewellery is worth its full gold value by weight — many clients are surprised how much a drawer of old gold is worth.
