The Right Method for Each Item
Not Every Valuable Should Be Assessed the Same Way
Gold is driven largely by purity and weight. Diamonds, watches and collectible pieces require different evidence.
A professional buyer should be able to explain what is being measured and why it matters. For gold and silver, that means identifying the metal, determining relevant purity or fineness, considering net weight and connecting the offer to current market conditions.
For a diamond, quality characteristics, origin and certification can matter. For a luxury watch, the exact reference, originality, condition and complete set often carry more value than the metal alone.
We Buy Gold provides a dedicated page for each main service so you can understand the assessment before visiting. If your item combines several assets, such as a diamond ring or a gold watch, the components can be considered separately where appropriate.

How Valuations Differ
The Evidence That Matters for Each Asset
Understanding the correct valuation basis helps you ask better questions and recognise an offer that is clearly explained.
| Asset Type | Main Valuation Factors | Useful Items to Bring | Common Mistake to Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | Tested purity, net weight, market conditions and separately valuable stones | All fragments, hallmarks, receipts and certificates if available | Assuming damage or an old design removes the metal value |
| Diamonds | Carat, cut, colour, clarity, origin, certification, condition and demand | Grading report, invoice, matching pieces and complete setting | Comparing diamonds using weight alone |
| Silver | Tested fineness, net weight, solid or plated construction and collector value | Complete sets, hallmarks, cases, lids and detached parts | Polishing antiques or assuming every white metal is silver |
| Luxury Watches | Brand, reference, authenticity, originality, condition, set and market demand | Box, papers, spare links, original parts and service records | Polishing or servicing a watch only to prepare it for sale |
