Cash for Gold in Johannesburg and Gauteng
If you are searching for cash for gold in Johannesburg, cash for gold near me, or a fast way to turn unwanted jewellery into money, Pot of Gold offers a clear, safe, service-area process. Neville comes to you with free collection by appointment, tests and weighs your gold in front of you, explains exactly how the offer is calculated — and pays you on the spot if you accept.
There is no shop to visit, no queue, and no pressure. You remain free to decline the offer at any point, and the valuation costs you nothing either way.
Turn Old Gold into Cash Today
Almost everyone has gold they no longer use: a broken chain in a drawer, a single earring, an outdated bracelet, a ring from years ago. Our cash for gold service exists for exactly these items. Because we value the gold content itself — not the fashion or condition — even damaged and incomplete pieces are worth real money.
Small items add up fast. A few grams here and there across 9ct, 14ct and 18ct pieces often totals far more than sellers expect. Gather everything you no longer wear, and let Neville sort, test and weigh it all as part of your free valuation.
Gold Items We Buy for Cash
We pay cash for virtually anything containing gold, including:
- Gold jewellery — rings, chains, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, earrings, pendants, anklets and mixed jewellery lots in any condition.
- Broken and scrap gold — snapped chains, single earrings, worn rings, damaged clasps, tangled pieces and offcuts.
- Inherited and estate jewellery — handled with care and a full explanation before you decide anything.
- Gold coins — Krugerrands and other South African and international gold coins.
- Gold bullion — bars, wafers and assay cards of any weight.
- Dental gold — crowns and bridges where gold content can be verified.
How Your Cash Offer Is Calculated
Every offer starts with the same transparent formula: gold weight × purity × the current market price per gram. Purity is expressed in karats — 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct or 24ct — and Neville tests each item so you know exactly what you have before any number is discussed.
The final offer may also reflect practical factors: refining costs for scrap items, coin premiums for Krugerrands and collectable pieces, and whether a particular item is worth more resold intact than melted. Where that is the case, we tell you — it usually means more money for you.

Cash for Gold FAQ
Can I sell gold for cash if it is broken?
Yes. Broken gold and scrap gold are assessed purely on gold content, purity and weight. A snapped chain or a single earring is worth exactly the same per gram as a perfect piece of the same karat.
How much cash will I get for my gold?
It depends on three things: how much your gold weighs, its karat (purity), and the current market price. Neville weighs and tests everything in front of you and explains the calculation before you decide.
Do you explain the price per gram?
Always. We explain how purity, weight and the reference market price influence the valuation, along with any item-specific factors such as coin premiums or resale value.
Do I need to travel to sell my gold?
No. Free collection is arranged by appointment across Johannesburg and Gauteng — at your home, office, or another safe, convenient location.
How am I paid?
Immediately once you accept the offer. We offer cash, instant EFT, or another convenient method depending on the amount and your preference.
What documents do I need?
A valid South African ID, driver's licence or passport. This is required by law for all second-hand goods transactions in South Africa.
