# How do I sell my old or scrap gold jewelry?

Selling your old or scrap gold jewellery is not just a transaction; it’s a thoughtful decision, often tied to sentiment, legacy, or the desire for renewal. Whether you're clearing out unused pieces, upgrading your collection, or looking to reinvest in something new, **PureJewels offers a respectful, transparent, and professional process**. We ensure that every client feels informed and valued, with clear guidance every step of the way.

### Step-by-Step: How to Sell Your Gold to PureJewels

#### **1. Visit Our Showroom (or Contact Us Remotely)**

Bring your gold jewellery, whether it’s old, broken, or mismatched, into our showroom. If you are unable to visit in person, contact us via **WhatsApp** or email to arrange secure delivery or a private consultation.

#### **2. Gold Purity Testing**

We conduct a **non-invasive purity test** using our in-house **XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) technology**, similar to what is used by hallmarking authorities. This ensures full transparency of your gold’s karat (carat) and weight.

#### **3. Receive a Live Market Quote**

We base our purchase price on the **current gold rate** and your item’s **net weight and purity**. For example:

- **22ct Gold**: We typically deduct **1g per 10g** to account for refining loss
- **18ct Gold**: A higher deduction (approx. 2g per 10g) due to lower purity
- **Unhallmarked or Foreign Gold**: May require additional assessment

You’ll receive a clear breakdown, with no hidden deductions.

#### **4. Accept the Offer**

If you’re happy with the valuation, we will prepare your **purchase receipt or voucher** and complete payment promptly, either via **bank transfer** or as **store credit** if you’d prefer to reinvest in a new piece.
