Advice please from you gold shoppers in Icmeler

[sueles810]

Hi, just wondered if you who have some knowledge of the gold situation in Icmeler could hepl me please, I have quite a bit of broken gold and was just wondering whether to cash it in here in the U.K. before I come back to Icmeler in October, to get the cash before hand or bring it with, would it get a better price, its only 9carat stuff, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Sue

Hi Sue

I am going to Icmeler 5 September and will be going to the jewellers round from the ICR office almost immediately as my daughter wants a piece of jewellery making. I can ask him what price he is giving for 'old' gold and post it on here if that will help?

Hi I was quoted 107Tl to the Gram......................don't know if this is for 9ct or 14ct.
Hope this helps.

That's a good rate as it's 104.36 Lira or £35.63 a gram at the moment. It's worth hanging on to any gold for a while though as its value is rocketing. It's quatrupled in value since 2000 and is expected to double again within the next two years. So really if you want to buy gold, buy it now but if you want to sell, hold on.

The other option is to ask them to melt the gold down and make something for you of a unique design, you are then only paying for the workmanship, I heard of someone having their parents wedding rings which had been left to them melted down together and a new piece of jewellery made which they could wear as a mememto of both of them.

That's a lovely idea as you retain the sentimental value.
