Frequently Asked Questions – Second-Hand Gold Bracelets

What is a second-hand gold bracelet?
A second-hand gold bracelet is a previously owned piece that has been tested for quality and resold. It offers great value while still providing the beauty and durability of gold.

Is second-hand gold as good as new gold?
Yes, second-hand gold retains its value and quality. When fully tested and hallmarked, second-hand gold items can be just as reliable and beautiful as new pieces.

What’s the difference between 9ct, 14ct, 15ct, and 18ct gold?
These numbers indicate the purity of gold. 9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold, 14ct contains 58.5%, 15ct (less commonly used today) contains 62.5%, and 18ct contains 75%. The rest is made up of other metals for strength and colour.

Do all second-hand gold bracelets have to be hallmarked?
In the UK, gold jewellery sold as 1 gram or more must be hallmarked by law unless it predates 1973. At H E Phillips Ltd, all second-hand gold items are fully assayed and hallmarked for complete peace of mind.

Why are hallmarks important in second-hand jewellery?
Hallmarks confirm the gold’s purity and authenticity, and can also reveal the date and place of manufacture, giving insight into the bracelet’s history.

Understanding Gold and Purity – What Do 375, 585, and 750 Mean?

Gold is often marked with numbers that represent its purity in parts per thousand:

• 375 – Represents 9ct gold, containing 37.5% pure gold

• 585 – Refers to 14ct gold, with 58.5% purity

• 625 – Represents 15ct gold (now largely historic)

• 750 – Indicates 18ct gold, which is 75% pure

These numbers can be stamped into the bracelet and confirmed through hallmarking. While some gold items may be stamped only with the carat value, full UK assay and hallmarking offer added security and assurance of authenticity.

The Importance of Hallmarks

When buying any gold bracelet, particularly a second-hand item, hallmarking offers a trusted layer of protection. A hallmark assures you that the piece has been properly tested, its purity confirmed, and its authenticity verified by an official UK assay office. This level of reassurance is especially valuable in the pre-owned jewellery market.
