For example, 9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold, while 18ct gold contains 75% pure gold and 22ct gold contains approximately 91.6% pure gold.
This means two pieces of jewellery weighing exactly the same amount can have substantially different values depending on their gold purity.
Our assessment establishes the weight and precious metal composition of your items before a valuation is calculated using current market conditions.
