Where would be the best place to sell gold Jewellery? A few pieces have diamonds in them too. Ebay, Jewellers, pawn shop? Any ideas or advice appreciated.

eBay for maximum value 

Here at a lower price for a quick sale and a little fingering 

Pawn shop if you want your pants down and a regal rogering

I was thinking here or ebay 🤣 if they were just gold it would be easy to work out a value but the diamonds on some of the bits confuses the situation.

If the diamonds are large single stones than be worth something on the gold weight. If they are little things, worth nothing. Remember no one puts a good diamond in 9ct gold. Good diamonds go in 18ct gold and above. Could be 15ct if American jewellery. 

Photos would be useful. 

Like Leon said, Jewellery does not sell for a premium on this forum.

I have never seen 15ct american jewellery. They make high standard quality in 18ct, regular quality in 12ct and the most affordable for people in 10ct.

15ct gold was used as legal gold standard only in British empire during Victorian, Edwardian and early Georgian eras. 

If I am wrong, I do apologise, but all the 15ct gold pieces I have seen were british.

I'll add some pictures this evening, I think they are all mostly 18ct+, I'll check some hallmarks and see what's what.

Get it valued first and work your way from there. Most auction houses have a valuation day and don't think they charge for it.

I'm not overly sure what the crack is with selling diamonds with out the certificate but I am sure they will let you know.

You are correct Steffan 

I was thinking about 585 and of cause it is 14ct and not 15ct which is used in the US and Russia and in other continental countries.

15ct was the British before the value became too expensive and they went over to 9ct for everyday jewellery.

I think this is the best option to be fair, I'll have a look around 👍

Didn't have time to take individual pictures but this is the bulk of it.

What prices you thinking on them? 

Interested in the chains and bracelets

Your goldbacks and sovereign are just a standard price. Maybe list them on here or eBay.

You have some very nice jewellery there. I would be interested in some. I mostly buy solid chains and rings. 

That ring with the big stone, if diamond, you need to get a valuation from a good Jewellers. See what they offer and after know that it is worth more.

The earrings would be just bullion weight.  The locket if all gold should do well above spot price.
