What Gold Items Can You Sell for Cash?

As specialist gold buyers in Johannesburg, we buy almost any form of gold. The condition of the item is not as important as the gold content – we are interested in the metal value, not whether the piece looks new or broken.

• Gold jewellery: Rings, chains, bracelets, bangles, earrings, pendants and designer pieces in 9k, 14k, 18k, 22k and 24k.
• Broken and damaged jewelry: Snapped chains, worn‑out rings, single earrings, jewellery missing stones and tangled pieces.
• Gold coins: Krugerrands, international bullion coins and collectors’ pieces with gold content.
• Gold bars and bullion: Investment bars and wafers of various sizes from recognised refiners.
• Scrap and dental gold: Old crowns, fillings, gold wire and manufacturing off‑cuts.

If you are unsure whether something is real gold, simply bring it along. We will test each item individually and let you know what is genuine and what is costume jewellery. There is no obligation to sell, so you are free to walk away if you do not like the offer.

How Our Cash for Gold Process Works

1. Book or walk in: Call or WhatsApp Neil on 0827009336 to arrange a time, or visit our Melville office during business hours.
2. Free valuation: We test and weigh your gold in front of you, explaining the karat value and the current gold price so you see exactly how the offer is built.
3. Receive an offer: Based on the purity and weight of your items we make a clear cash offer. There are no hidden charges or fees.
4. Instant payment: If you accept, you receive cash immediately. Bring your ID or driver’s licence as required by South African law.
5. Safe return of items if you decline: If you decide not to sell, your items are simply handed back to you in the same condition.

How We Calculate Your Cash for Gold Payout

Many people are nervous about selling gold because they do not understand how the price is set. At Pot of Gold we believe in complete transparency. We calculate your payout using three main factors:

• Purity (karat): We test each piece to determine the gold content. 24k is pure gold, while 9k, 14k and 18k contain a mix of gold and other metals.
• Weight: We weigh your items on a calibrated jewellery scale in grams, with the display visible to you.
• International gold price: We work from the current gold price in Rand per gram and apply a fair buying rate that covers refining and operating costs.

Because we explain every step, you can see how our offer compares to other buyers. Our goal is to build long‑term relationships, so we focus on fair, repeatable pricing rather than once‑off “bargains”.

Tips to Get the Best Price When You Sell Gold

Before you visit any cash for gold buyer in Johannesburg, there are a few simple steps you can take to prepare:

• Gather all your pieces: Small items add up quickly. Bring everything you suspect may be gold, even if you are not sure.
• Untangle and separate: Untangle chains and separate different types of metal where possible so we can test them easily.
• Keep stones you care about: If a ring has sentimental stones, tell us up front. In many cases we can remove stones so you can keep them.
• Bring your ID: South African law requires identification when selling precious metals.
• Compare offers: You are welcome to get quotes from multiple gold buyers. Just make sure you compare based on weight, purity and the price per gram.

Who We Serve – Johannesburg and Greater Gauteng

Our Melville office is centrally located, making it easy for customers from across Johannesburg and Gauteng to visit us. We regularly buy gold from clients in areas such as Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, the East Rand, West Rand and Pretoria. Many people combine a trip into town with stopping at Pot of Gold to convert unwanted jewellery and coins into cash.

Because we focus on personalised service rather than running a crowded retail shop, you can expect a calm, private experience. We allocate enough time to answer your questions and explain everything in detail so that you feel completely comfortable before you decide to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cash for Gold

Do you only buy gold jewellery?

No. While jewellery is the most common item we see, we also buy coins, bars, scrap gold and dental gold. If it contains real gold, we will happily evaluate it.

What if I only have a small amount of gold?

There is no minimum amount. You can bring a single ring, a few small off‑cuts or a full collection. Every customer receives the same professional service.

Can you give me a price over the phone?

We can explain our pricing and the current gold market over the phone, but we need to test and weigh your items in person to make a firm offer. This protects both you and us.

Is it safe to travel with gold to your office?

We take security seriously. Our office is in a busy area with convenient parking, and consultations happen inside a secure space. If you are travelling with a large amount of gold, contact us in advance so we can advise on the best time to visit.
