Reviews
We have had my mum’s old jewellery sitting in a box for years and noone wears it. We decided just to see what it was worth. We were surpised and very pleased at how much we got for it. The whole process was quick and easy. Would recommend!

I founded the Gold Standard based on the belief that our clients deserve a transparent & trustworthy service and a great price for the items they kindly bring to us.
We are committed to meeting our clients in person, both through home visits or at local roadshows, guiding them through the valuation and pricing their items to reflect their current market value.
We want our clients to feel relaxed and happy to do business with us, and walk away feeling like they are really pleased with the value.
