Moonstone Gold Blog - Gold Selling Advice
The Moonstone Gold Blog offers practical guides to valuing and selling gold in the UK. Explore articles about jewellery, coins, gold prices, purity and postal sales. Whether you have one unwanted ring or several pieces, start with the questions that matter to you.
Our guides explain the details behind an estimate and the steps involved in requesting an offer. For example, learn why weight and purity matter, how to compare buyers and what to check before posting valuables. Then, use the relevant service pages for current arrangements.
Start with the gold selling resources that match your situation. If you do not know an item’s purity, read about hallmarks and testing first. Alternatively, if you already know its weight and carat, explore the valuation guides. This helps you separate questions about the item itself from questions about the offer.
The Moonstone Gold Blog also covers practical preparation. Before posting, check the current service details and keep a record of your items. If an article raises a question about your own jewellery, ask our team before deciding what to send.

Estimate Your Gold’s Value
Alongside the Moonstone Gold Blog, use our UK gold price calculator for an indicative estimate based on weight and purity. However, the final offer follows an assessment of your items. You can also review the LBMA Gold Price benchmark for wider market context.
Understand Purity and Testing
Our gold selling resources include a guide to testing methods, which explains what different assessments can establish. A hallmark or colour can provide clues, but an unfamiliar item may need professional testing. Also, remember that stones and other non-gold components affect the eligible weight.
