Do you buy gold plated or costume jewellery?

Sorry no.

What if the price that you offer is different from my online calculation?

The price offered may be lower than your calculation if we have to discount stones and non- precious metals, such as springs, fillings and base metal clasps. The price offered may well be higher than your calculation if you were unsure of the item’s purity or accurate weight. We use calibrated precision electronic trade approved scales to calculate the exact weight and the latest XRF testing technology to determine the exact purity of your items.
