Sell Your Gold

 The Village Goldsmith is proud to buy high quality gold that can be recycled and remade into beautiful, new pieces. Our gold buying services offer a private, discreet and quick way to safely trade and sell jewellery you no longer wear - either online or in person at our Wellington showroom. This service gives you the opportunity to recycle gold and platinum jewellery or scrap gold in return for a secure online cash payment to your bank account. 
 
Sell Your Gold Online 
 
  • To request an estimate online, complete our online form and upload photos of your jewellery on a kitchen scale or similar weighing device. Please also Include any details and documentation of your jewellery. We will email you through a price estimate for the trade-in value of your items.
