Should You Sell or Redesign Your Old Jewellery? The Big Question We Keep Being Asked

Gold prices are climbing—and fast. If you’ve got old jewellery tucked away in a drawer somewhere, you might be wondering whether it’s time to cash in or give it a second life.

We’re having more and more conversations with customers about this very question. Whether it’s a broken chain, a ring you haven’t worn in years, or a piece you’ve inherited but never quite clicked with, we’re here to help you figure out the best next step.

Why Is Gold on the Rise?

The short version? The world’s a bit unpredictable right now. When things feel uncertain, people turn to gold—it’s been a trusted asset for centuries. This demand pushes up the price, meaning your old gold jewellery might be worth a lot more than you think.

Thinking About Selling? Here’s Why It Could Be a Good Move

1. Turn Forgotten Jewellery into Cash

We all have those pieces. Maybe it was a gift that wasn’t quite your style, or something that’s been sitting broken for years. Selling gives you a chance to turn those into something useful—especially with today’s high prices.

2. It’s Quick and Straightforward

No hassle, no fuss. Just pop into our North East store, and we’ll weigh and assess your pieces right in front of you. We’ll give you a clear, fair price—no pressure, no obligation.

3. It’s the Ethical Choice

Recycling gold means less demand for new mining, which can be harsh on the environment. So, you’re not only making a smart financial decision—you’re doing something good for the planet too.

Or Maybe It’s Time for a Redesign?

Sometimes, letting go isn’t easy—and it doesn’t have to be. Remodelling jewellery is a brilliant way to keep the sentiment but give the piece a whole new look.

1. Keep the Meaning, Update the Style

We often hear from customers who want to keep the memory of a loved one alive but feel their old piece is too dated to wear. A redesign gives you the best of both worlds: meaning and wearability.

2. Something Completely Unique

Working with our jewellers means you can create something that’s truly yours. Combine a few smaller items into one statement piece, or turn a bulky old ring into a sleek, modern pendant.

3. A Long-Term Investment in You

While selling gives you immediate cash, remaking your jewellery means you’re investing in something you’ll treasure and wear for years. It’s a fantastic way to refresh your collection without buying new.
