How will my jewellery be tested?At The Gold Spot, we use advanced electronic gold testing devices to assess the quality of your gold items. These handheld devices, often referred to as gold testing guns, work by measuring the electrical conductivity of the gold. Here's how it works in simple terms: Our expert will gently touch a small probe to your gold item. The device sends a safe electric current through the gold. By measuring how well the gold conducts electricity, the device estimates its purity. The results are displayed on a digital screen, giving us an indication of the gold's quality. Rest assured, our team is skilled in using these devices accurately to evaluate your gold in a non-destructive or damaging way. We prioritise transparency and professionalism in our testing process, ensuring you receive accurate assessments and best online pricing for your gold. If you have any further questions about our gold testing methods, please feel free to reach out to our friendly team.

Gold Hallmarks - explainedGold Hallmarks, whats it all about? Gold hallmarks are small marks or stamps on gold jewellery or items that indicate the purity and authenticity of the gold. They are like little certificates that provide important information about the gold's quality. Hallmarks typically include numbers and symbols that represent the gold's carat or purity, such as 24K, 18K, or 14K. They may also include additional marks to indicate the manufacturer or country of origin. Hallmarks are a reliable way to verify the value and quality of your gold items, as they are regulated and standardised. When selling gold, having hallmarked items can often fetch higher prices, as they provide assurance to buyers about the gold's authenticity. At The Gold Spot, our expert valuers are knowledgeable about gold hallmarks and can accurately assess the value of your gold items based on their purity and other factors. If you have any specific questions about gold hallmarks or need assistance with your gold appraisal, don't hesitate to contact our friendly team. We're here to help! Simply pop a message to hello@thegoldspot.co.uk
