All That Glitters is Not Always Gold

The Olympics have kicked off and the Team GB are hot on the trail of some precious metals all of their own with “Gold” being the big target and just reward for years of dedication, hard work and heart break. As always “Silver” is a scant reward but sometimes it just has to be enough….

More or less the same applies to precious metals – we are always looking to buy your gold as the price of this commodity currently rides high on the back of the hog so now is great time to cash in and realise some cash. Silver, as usual, languishes in a distant second but many pundits are of the view that it’s time will come – especially so when the world economy shakes off the post-COVID torpor.

But going back briefly to the cautionary tale of “All that glitters is not gold” (nor silver for that matter….

Oh so often we are called to look at some gold jewellery or even coins and bullion only to be faced with articles that are “only” gold plated. Chains and necklaces are common victims of this as are the occasional foreign “investment” coins and, more often than not, the owner has literally no idea until we give them the bad news – please don’t shoot the messenger!

Silver items are equally as susceptible – sometimes we are presented with kilos of “silver” cutlery or other items that give the impression of being solid silver but are, in fact, silver plated and practically worthless unless they have an antique value.

Here at Devon Precious Metals we are experts at sorting through your items and realising fair value for your gold and silver. We are available to visit you almost anywhere in Plymouth, the South Hams, South East Cornwall and West Devon at a time that suits you and pay a fair price on the spot – no need to post anything off – you get to deal with a real person and get paid in real money right there and then.

So, if you want to be sure your gold and silver is exactly what you hope for and live in Plympton, Plymstock, Wembury, Yealmpton, Ivybridge or anywhere within the Plymouth travel to work area then please get in touch.
