Selling Old or Broken Gold Jewellery in Sri Lanka — Full Guide

Old and broken gold jewellery on a weighing scale at a gold buyer counter in Sri Lanka

Broken gold is worth the same as perfect gold

Gold is priced by weight and karat, not by condition. A snapped chain, a bent ring or one lost earring is refined the same way as a flawless piece, so damage does not reduce the metal value.

How your item is valued

Every piece is cleaned, weighed on a certified digital scale in front of you, then tested for karat. Stones, clasps and non-gold parts are separated and deducted so you are paid only for real gold — and paid fully for it.

Gather everything before you come

Odd earrings, worn-out bangles, broken pendants, damaged bracelets and even dental gold add up quickly. Most customers are surprised how much a small collection of scrap weighs together.

Avoid these common mistakes

Do not polish or melt anything yourself, do not accept a price quoted without a visible weight, and never sell to a buyer who refuses to test in front of you.
