What gold we buy

We buy all forms of real gold, in any condition, with no minimum quantity. If you're not sure whether something is gold, bring it in — we'll test it for free and tell you straight.

  • Gold jewellery — rings, chains, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pendants. See more on our sell gold jewellery page.
  • Scrap gold and broken items — snapped chains, single earrings, bent rings and damaged pieces. We also have a dedicated guide to sell scrap gold in St Helens.
  • Gold coins and bullion — sovereigns, half sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias and small investment bars.
  • Single items and mixed gold — one ring or a whole jewellery box from a house clearance, both are equally welcome.

Why selling gold locally is better than posting

Postal gold services can look convenient, but they put your valuables in the post and your money on hold for days. Visiting a local shop in St Helens is faster, safer and more transparent.

  • No risk of sending valuables through the post — your gold never leaves your hand until you've agreed a price.
  • No waiting days for a quote — you get a clear offer at the counter in minutes.
  • Face-to-face service with real staff who can answer questions and explain every step.
  • Instant payment by cash or same-day bank transfer the moment you accept the offer.

How it works

  1. Bring your gold into the shop on Church Street, inside Cash Generator, with a valid photo ID.
  2. We test and weigh it in front of you using calibrated jeweller's scales and acid or XRF testing.
  3. You receive a clear offer, broken down by weight and carat against the current UK market rate.
  4. Get paid the same day by physical cash on the counter or a same-day bank transfer.

Most visits take 10–15 minutes from walking in to walking out paid. There's never any obligation to sell — if the figure isn't right, you simply take your gold home.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment to sell gold in St Helens?+

No appointment is needed. You can walk into St Helens Gold inside Cash Generator St Helens during opening hours for a free, no-obligation valuation. Most customers are seen straight away and finished within 10–15 minutes.

How is my gold valued?+

We test the purity (carat) of your gold and weigh it in front of you on calibrated jeweller's scales. The offer is based on the current gold price and the type of item you have, and we explain each step so you can see exactly how the figure is reached.

Do you buy broken gold?+

Yes, we buy broken jewellery, damaged rings, single earrings and scrap gold. Condition does not affect whether we can buy your gold — value is calculated from weight and carat, so a snapped chain is worth the same per gram as a perfect one.

What carat gold do you buy?+

We buy all common types of gold including 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct and 24ct. We also test unmarked or foreign-marked pieces in store to confirm purity before making an offer, so you don't need to know the carat in advance.

How do you pay?+

If you accept our offer, we can usually pay you the same day by cash or bank transfer. Same-day bank transfers go via Faster Payments and typically arrive within minutes, and for larger amounts we can split between cash and transfer if you prefer.

What ID do I need?+

You will need valid photo ID such as a passport or driving licence to complete the transaction. This is a UK regulatory requirement for all gold buyers and only takes a moment to record at the counter.

Can I get a quote before selling?+

Yes, we can give you a free estimate in-store with no obligation to sell. Many customers come in just to find out what their gold is worth, take the figure away to think about, and return another day — there's never any pressure.
