How to Post Gold for Cash
1. Request and Receive Your Pack
Enter your contact and delivery details in the form above. Check the address carefully so your pack reaches you. Once it arrives, read the instructions before packing your items.
2. Prepare and Send Your Items
Make a list of the pieces you plan to send and keep photographs for your records. Next, secure the items inside the supplied packaging and follow the posting instructions. Keep the tracking details until the process finishes.
3. Review Your Offer
When your parcel arrives, our team assesses the items and contacts you with an offer, usually within 24 hours of receipt. This is the valuation stage. If you accept, we make an immediate bank payment.
What Can You Send?
You can post gold for cash when you have unwanted rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings or other eligible gold items. For example, a snapped chain or an odd earring can still contain valuable gold. Damage does not remove the gold content of the remaining alloy.
However, appearance alone cannot confirm purity. Keep different items identifiable and include any useful information you have about them. Our guide to accepted items explains the types of gold we assess.
Also, consider whether a piece has antique, designer or collectable interest. A specialist resale valuation may help you compare alternatives before choosing a metal-based sale. Keep original certificates or presentation materials where they help identify an item.
Prepare to Post Gold for Cash
Before you post gold for cash, check that the packaging suits the contents. Small pieces should stay secure rather than moving loosely inside the outer envelope. Follow the pack instructions and ask us for help if you have bulky or unusual items.
Next, check the service and insurance arrangements for the parcel’s value. Contact us before posting if you are unsure whether the cover is sufficient. Tracking helps you follow delivery, but you should also understand the conditions attached to the postal service.
Finally, keep your posting receipt, tracking reference and item list. These records make it easier to discuss a parcel with our team. You can also take a photograph of the packed items before sealing the envelope.
How We Value Your Gold
Your offer depends on the assessed gold weight, purity and our buying rate. First, we examine the items and establish the information needed for a valuation. Then we explain the offer so you can decide whether to proceed.
Stones, watch movements and other non-gold components can contribute weight without contributing gold value. Therefore, the eligible gold weight may differ from the total weight you measured at home. Ask us to explain any difference you do not understand.
Read about our gold assessment service for more information. Also, discuss any concerns about testing before sending a piece whose appearance or collectable condition you want to preserve.
Check an Estimate Before You Post Gold for Cash
Our weight and carat calculator provides an indicative estimate. Enter the eligible alloy weight in grams and choose the matching purity. For example, calculate 9ct and 18ct pieces separately.
A rate for a specific carat already allows for its purity. Therefore, do not multiply a 9ct result by 37.5% again. Keep stones and other non-gold parts out of the weight where you know their contribution.
However, an online estimate cannot test your items or confirm the final payment. Market prices may also change before your parcel arrives. Use the result to prepare questions, then compare it with the item-specific offer.
Immediate Payment After Acceptance
When you post gold for cash, you remain free to review the offer before accepting. Check the total payment, assessed weight and purity. Also, ask about anything that differs from your expectations.
Once you accept, Moonstone Gold makes an immediate bank payment. The usual valuation timescale after receipt is separate from this payment step. Therefore, a reference to a 24-hour assessment does not mean you must wait 24 hours after accepting.
If you decline, we return your items free of charge through our tracked postal process. You can ask our team about the return arrangements before making your decision.
Compare Services Before You Post Gold for Cash

- The postage, tracking and insurance arrangements.
- How the buyer assesses weight and purity.
- The buying rate, total payment and any deductions.
- When the buyer pays after acceptance.
- What happens if you decline the offer.
Moonstone Gold offers a free selling pack, no hidden fees and free returns if you decline. For further detail, read our service terms. These explain the arrangements alongside the information on this page.

No. We provide a free prepaid, tracked and insured pack. Before sending, check the instructions and insurance arrangements for your parcel’s value.
Yes, eligible broken gold jewellery can still have metal value. For example, you can send a snapped chain or an odd earring. Our team assesses its weight and purity.
Ask us about an assessment rather than guessing from colour. Keep any previous valuation or item information with your records. An online estimate needs the correct purity to be useful.

We usually contact you within 24 hours of receiving your gold. This covers the assessment stage; payment follows your acceptance of the offer.
We make an immediate bank payment after you accept our offer. You can review the valuation and ask questions before deciding whether to sell.
We return your items free of charge using our tracked postal process. Contact our team if you need to discuss the return arrangements.
