Ewloe and the surrounding area
Ewloe sits where the A55 and A494 meet, which makes it one of the most accessible points in Flintshire — Buckley, Hawarden, Mancot and Connah's Quay are all a few minutes away, and the business park at St David's draws people in from across the county.
What counts as scrap gold
Scrap simply means gold valued for its metal content rather than as jewellery. It is not a comment on quality. A perfectly good chain in an unfashionable style is scrap; so is a snapped one. Both are worth the same per gram at the same standard.
- Snapped, kinked and stretched chain.
- Single earrings and lost-partner studs.
- Rings cut off, resized or bent past wearing.
- Broken clasps, bent bangles, worn wedding bands.
- Gold that is simply never worn.
What is not scrap gold
Plated and rolled gold items — marked GP, GF, RGP, HGE — contain a negligible quantity of gold and are not bought as scrap. Gold-plated sterling silver is hallmarked as silver. The marks identing separates these from solid gold quickly, and you will be told which is which rather than left to guess.
How scrap is valued
Sort by standard, weigh each standard separately, multiply weight by fineness to get fine gold content. That figure is the basis of everything that follows — see scrap gold for how each category is handled and how much is my gold worth for the arithmetic.
