Gold – Rare, Unreactive and Recyclable

Gold has a history almost as old as the universe itself. Since the dawn of human civilisation, people have been obsessed with gold’s durability and seemingly never-ending shine. Gold has the speciality of being one of the least reactive noble elements.

This means it barely oxidises as other metals do over time, and it is also impervious to many corrosive substances, so it is difficult to alter its shape unless you melt it down at high temperatures.

Gold also happens to be one of the rarest precious metals on Earth, and this goes some way towards explaining its consistently high value over the centuries. Read on, to find out from Cash for Your Gold to see what makes gold really shine, if you’re considering selling scrap gold today.

A blast from the past

It’s not an exaggeration to say that gold is something of a blast from the past. Scientists believe gold originates from the explosions of stars which had entered the supernova phase, billions of years ago. Gold could quite possibly predate the existence of Earth itself.

The explosion of stars billions of years ago led to a torrent of space debris being flung in all directions. Some of this debris remains among the cosmos, but some of it ended up being absorbed into the Earth’s surface when it was barely formed.

So the next time you dig out any piece of scrap gold, whether it’s an old ring, a chain or even a gold coin, just think: this shiny piece of gold used to be at the heart of a star, and it’s still here for you to reach out and touch, even after all this time.

How rare is gold?

It is said that all the gold ever mined from the Earth’s crust, once melted down, could be shaped into a cube which would easily fit beneath the Eiffel Tower. Imagine that – every bar of gold, every coin and every single fragment of gold you’ve ever seen, all fitting into an area you could stroll across in a matter of moments.

Gold’s rarity is one of the great reasons why generations have given it such great value. But did you know gold doesn’t have to be just some static lump of metal, gathering dust in a vault? Between 2005 and 2010, it was estimated that as much as 35 per cent of gold in circulation on the markets was sourced from recycled gold.

As well as being at the heart of an exploding star, your scrap gold could have been all sorts of shapes and sizes, before you found it.

Sell Your Scrap Gold Today for a Record High Price

As political developments in the UK cause increasing uncertainty, gold prices are within touching distance of their all-time highs as of late June this year. This takes gold to levels not seen since the late summer of 2011.

Prices have rarely been as high as this, so it’s a good time to consider selling any unwanted scrap gold you find lying around – it might be worth a small fortune now, and could give you a much-needed cash boost as we enter the summer.

Near-record gold prices

When selling gold, you want to make sure you’re getting the value you deserve for it. That’s why Cash for Your Gold uses the London Gold Fix to determine prices for gold scrap sales. The London Gold Fix is one of the most trusted ways of valuing gold on the open market.

As of late June 2019, gold prices are close to £1,100 per troy ounce. This is tantalisingly close to the all-time high in British gold markets, last seen back in the late summer of 2011. Use our live Gold Tracker page, to make sure you sell your gold at a time when the price is right for you.

The trick can be in the timing – use the gold tracker to get the most out of your gold, as any scrap gold we receive will be sold at a price relative to gold prices in the official market at the time of receipt.

Gold in all shapes and sizes

After a much-needed spring clean, you may have discovered you had scrap gold in your midst. Cash for Your Gold is happy to take receipt of gold scrap items in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Perhaps a relative passed down a gold coin. Or maybe you discovered a gold chain or piece of old jewellery that’s looking worse for wear, or found some gold tooth fillings? Why not consider selling it as scrap gold?

Cash for Your Gold can help you determine what you’ve got on your hands. Try our Value My Scrap calculator – it’s easy-to-find, available on the sidebar of our website homepage. To give you an accurate valuation right at your fingertips, all you need to enter is the item’s weight and its carat (or purity).

Other options for scrap

It is common for people to find items with some quantity of gold in them, mixed with other metals. For example, you might find you hold an item made of rose or white gold. These items, despite being made of alloys, could be of great value still. If it’s gold, it’s worth checking to see what it’s worth, when selling with us.

We also accept silver, platinum and palladium – don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have items you wish to scrap, that you believe are made of these precious metals. Cash for Your Gold would be happy to take a look at them,

Is now the best time to sell gold?

In a nutshell, yes! Right now, is a great time to sell any unwanted gold! The price of gold is still experiencing a six-month high and doesn’t look like it will be falling any time soon as tensions remain between America and China in the ongoing trade war.

Other factors keeping the price of gold as high as it has been over the past few weeks is the demand for jewellery in India, America and China and the Central Bank Reserves that have been purchasing more gold than they are selling.

As a metal, gold retains its value and investors turn to gold to protect their wealth in times of economic uncertainty, but does that mean now is the wrong time to sell those broken chains, remaining earring from a pair or that jewellery you just don’t wear any longer?

As with all investments, the clever part of making your gold work for you is to sell it when the price is high. The price of gold changes throughout the day as it responds to market demands, how do you know when to sell? Fortunately, you don’t need to worry too much when you want to scrap your gold items.

At Cash For Your Gold we monitor the live price regularly throughout the day for the price we will pay per gram (which is a percentage of the live price of gold). We then update our prices several times a day so you will always get the best price we can give you.

There are no hidden charges apart from those listed on our website to cover payment costs, so you will always have a fair idea of what you will receive, providing you know the weight (in grams) and purity (carat) of your gold.

It’s always worth remembering that we only trade in precious metals. This means should you have any items that contain gemstones we will not purchase them, and an adjustment will be made from the overall weight (the gross weight) of the item to account for them. If you want to keep the gemstone, you need to remove it before you send in your items or bring them to us, as it is not cost effective for us to remove them so they will get melted down along with the gold they are bedded in.

We offer payment by bank transfer (payment directly into your bank by electronic transfer) or cheque.

So, taking all the above into consideration, why don’t you start rooting in your jewellery boxes and kitchen drawers to find those long forgotten broken necklaces and earrings or look at what jewellery you no longer wear! Make your Gold work for You! Visit us today at www.cashforyourgold.co.uk or call our dedicated Staff on 01902 623 253. We’re here to help!

The Price is Just Right for You to Cash in on Scrap Gold

Understandably, you might start to think it’s the ideal time to take some of that scrap gold you don’t need and sell it for some easy cash. Got a gold watch or a locket? Don’t forget, some dental crowns used to be made of gold – it can crop up all over the place.
