If you have some old jewellery lying around or simply need the extra money you can sell it at one of the many cash for gold websites that are popping up. There are a number of steps that you should follow to ensure you get the highest prices.

First check the market value of gold or silver. A quick search online will find you this information, by knowing the current rate will allow you to work out roughly what your old jewellery is worth. To work out how much your old jewellery is worth you need to know how gold is measured and valued; again there are many websites that will explain this information.

Next you must select a cash for gold website, in the UK there are many sites like this, you may have even seen a few advertised on TV. By going to an online gold refinery and not a pawn shop or jewellers you are basically cutting out the middleman so you are guaranteed to get the highest prices. Also it means that you do not have to search around the local high street to get the best price. A quick search online will find you many gold and jewellery buying sites and many offer quick turnaround times.

Once you have selected the one where you want to sell your items at you must request a free pack. You must provide some basic information to request a free pack; some sites may even call you for free to see if you have any questions about the process. The pack will be sent to you and will include a free insured envelope that you can return your old items in; most sites will insure your items for up to £500.

Once your gold has been received at the refinery it will be valued by experts and you will be sent a cheque usually within 7 days. Most online gold buying sites will also offer a guarantee where by if you get your cheque and are dissatisfied with the amount you can return it t receive your items back free of charge so there is no risk at all.
