Three ways to sell
In the shop
Walk in during opening hours; no appointment is needed. We test and weigh your pieces on the spot and tell you straight away what we can offer.
An estimate first
Send photos to info@vintagejewellery.com, with the fineness and weight if you know them. You will receive a no-obligation estimate. The final price follows once we have your piece in hand.
By post
Please contact us first. Then send your jewellery by registered post, with a copy of your ID and your bank card. We can also provide a shipping label, the cost of which is deducted from the payment. Once we have received your parcel, we will call you with our offer.
What is your gold worth?
The price depends on three things: the fineness, the weight and the gold price on the day you sell. The fineness is usually stamped on the piece as a small mark: 585 means 14 carat, 750 is 18 carat and 375 is 9 carat. The higher the fineness, the more pure gold your jewellery contains and the more it is worth per gram.
Above you can see today’s price for each fineness. This is the value of the pure metal on the international market, not a fixed buying price. We will make you our offer in the shop, once we have tested and weighed your gold.
Old, broken or incomplete gold
The condition makes no difference to the gold value. A broken link, a ring missing its stone, a single earring: the gold is worth just as much as that of an intact piece. You are welcome to bring a bag of loose bits and pieces too. There is no need to clean anything.
Jewellery set with stones
With jewellery set with stones, the price is usually based on the gold. A larger diamond is taken into account in our offer; other stones are generally not valued separately. Find out more under Sell your diamonds.
Designer jewellery and watches
We assess a piece by a well-known house, or a watch, on the piece itself, not just on the material. We buy watches by Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Tudor and Longines, among others. See Sell your watch.
What should you bring?
Valid ID: this is a legal requirement when selling gold and jewellery. If you still have certificates, receipts or boxes, bring those too; they can help with designer pieces. If you no longer have them, we assess your jewellery on what we see and measure.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to sell gold?
No. You can simply walk in during opening hours in Amsterdam, Haarlem, Bussum or Monnickendam. If you are bringing a lot of pieces, give the shop a quick call so they know you are coming.
How quickly will I be paid?
If you accept our offer, you sign a sales agreement. The money will be in your account within 2 working days.
How do you work out the price?
We look at the fineness, the weight and the gold price at that moment. For jewellery set with a larger diamond, we take the stone into account. You always receive a no-obligation offer, and we explain how it is made up.
Can I get a price indication first?
Yes. Send photos of your jewellery to info@vintagejewellery.com, with the fineness and weight if you know them. You will receive a no-obligation indication. It is provisional, as we have not yet tested and weighed the gold; you will hear the final price in the shop.
What is Trade for Treasure?
Bring in your gold or silver and choose a new piece of jewellery in the shop during the same visit, and you get 20% off your purchase. Designer brands and sale items are excluded.
Can I send my jewellery by post?
Yes, by registered post, with a copy of your ID and your bank card. If you would like a shipping label, please contact us first; the cost is deducted from the payment. Once we receive your jewellery, we assess it and call you with our offer.
