What Counts as Scrap Gold?
When you sell scrap gold, the condition of the item doesn’t matter. Scrap gold refers to any gold item that is no longer wanted, wearable, or usable, but still contains valuable gold that can be recycled and refined.
Many people are surprised by how many everyday items qualify as scrap gold.
Common Types of Scrap Gold
If an item contains real gold, it can usually be sold as scrap. Common examples include:
- Broken gold jewellery such as snapped chains or damaged bracelets
- Old or unwanted gold rings, even if they’re worn or misshapen
- Single earrings or incomplete pairs
- Gold items with missing stones
- Outdated or unfashionable gold jewellery
- Bent or damaged gold bangles
- Gold dental scrap
- Hallmarked or mixed gold item
Even if an item can’t be repaired or worn, it still holds value based on its gold content.

Selling Scrap Gold? Here’s How Atkinsons Helps You Get a Fair Price
At Atkinsons Bullion & Coins, we understand that selling scrap gold can feel daunting - especially if you’re not sure what your items are worth. That’s why we make the process straightforward, transparent, and tailored to you.
Here’s how we help you receive a competitive and fair price when selling your scrap gold to us.
We Accurately Test the Purity of Your Gold
Purity has the biggest impact on value. The higher the carat, the more pure gold your item contains.
Many items are hallmarked - for example, 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, or 22ct. If you're unsure, there’s no need to worry. We use professional testing methods to check the purity of each item before making an offer. This way, you will always know what you are being paid for.
We Weigh Every Item with Precision
Once we receive your package, we carefully weigh your gold using high-accuracy digital scales.
Stones, clasps, and non-gold parts are removed from the valuation. This way, you get an accurate weight based only on the gold content.
Our Offers Reflect the Live Gold Price
We base our offers on the live gold spot price, which updates every minute. This ensures your valuation reflects the current market.
Our live pricing is available on our website. We are always happy to explain how we calculated your offer, ensuring there are no surprises.
No Need to Clean or Repair - We Value the Gold, Not the Condition
Cleaning, polishing, or attempting repairs won’t increase scrap gold value and may actually reduce weight. Scrap gold is valued on gold content only, so leave items exactly as they are.
Even broken or damaged items hold the same value as intact pieces of the same purity and weight.
