Serving Flint and the estuary villages
Flint stands on the Dee estuary with the castle at its edge and the North Wales coast railway running through it. Customers reaching Gold Up from here come from the town, Oakenholt, Flint Mountain, Bagillt and the smaller settlements along the A548 towards Holywell.
It is one of the older established towns in the county, and that shows in what arrives for valuation: jewellery that has stayed in the same families for two or three generations, often with marks worn thin by decades of daily wear.
Worn and unmarked gold
A hallmark struck on a ring in the 1940s and worn every day since may be barely legible. That is not a problem. What can still be read is worked with, and the piece is grouped with its standard — a partial mark, X-ray fluorescence, density — rather than by reading the stamp. An item with no mark at all is valued on exactly the same basis as one with a full hallmark. UK gold hallmarks explained sets out what a full mark contains and how to read a worn one.
What Gold Up buys from Flint customers
- Gold jewellery of any standard, worn or unworn.
- Broken chains, odd earrings, damaged rings and clasps.
- Unwanted gold from house clearances and downsizing.
- Unmarked pieces, which are looked at individually.
Before the appointment
Sort items by fineness mark if you can, keep anything with stones or a maker's name separate, and have photographic identification to hand. None of it needs cleaning or repairing first — see how to sell gold for the full checklist.
