What we buy
Jewellery and watches, by the gram
Gold and silver jewellery, any condition
Broken chains, single earrings, rings, bracelets, bangles, pendants and dental gold, hallmarked or not. Every piece is XRF tested and paid per gram at the published rate for the carat or fineness it tests.
Gold and silver watches
Gold and silver watches without a brand premium are priced on the weight of the case and bracelet at the published rate. The movement and glass are not priced.
Branded watches, by quote only
Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Tag Heuer and similar are bought by quote, not at a per-gram rate. Send photos, the brand, model and reference number through the form and we come back to you. The watch comes to us before it is paid for: we have it verified by an independent watch specialist, which takes about one working day, and the quote is confirmed once it passes.
Ask for a watch quotePieces bought abroad are welcome too. American jewelry is usually marked 10K or 14K rather than 9ct or 18ct; it is tested and priced the same way, at the rate for the gold it holds.
What we don’t buy
Plated, costume and stainless steel pieces have no metal value to us, so we do not buy them. If they arrive in a pack they are returned to you, with the return postage at your cost.
Stones
Stones are assessed separately. We’ll quote for them or return them to you. The metal is weighed and priced with the stones excluded. Uncertified diamonds are quoted at lab-grown rates. Send any certificate or valuation for the stones in with the piece. It travels with it and comes back with it if you decline. Selling a diamond piece? See how we buy diamonds.

How it works
Three steps, nothing to pay
01
Request your free Bosca Óir postal pack
Fill in the short form above. Your Bosca Óir, our free insured postal pack, goes in the post to you with a prepaid return label already inside. Nothing to pay.
02
Post it back free in the prepaid insured pack
Put your items in, seal it and drop it at any post office. With the prepaid label it travels at our risk, whatever the value. Keep your proof of postage.
03
We open and test it on camera and pay you by bank transfer
Every Bosca Óir is opened on camera. We weigh and XRF test each item, send you the video and our price, and when you accept the money goes to your bank by transfer. Decline and everything comes back to you free.
Branded watches take a different route: a quote first, then an in-person appointment or insured special delivery, then about one working day while an independent watch specialist confirms the watch is genuine, and only then is it paid for. Photo ID and proof of where the watch came from (a receipt, service record, insurance valuation or similar) are required on every branded watch, no exceptions. How selling a watch works, step by step.
Request your free postal pack (Bosca Óir)
Fill in your details and we post the box to you. It arrives with a prepaid, insured return label already inside. Pieces go in as they are, stones in; nothing needs to be taken apart. Send any certificate or valuation for the stones in with the piece. It travels with it and comes back with it if you decline.
Prefer to talk it through first?
Book a free 30 minute call on Google Meet: what you have, what it is worth at today’s prices, and whether post or an appointment in Dublin suits better. Nothing to install; the invitation carries the link. Open the booking page if you would rather have it on its own.

Questions about selling jewellery and watches
Is my parcel insured?
Yes. With the prepaid return label inside your Bosca Óir, we carry the risk from the moment it is posted, whatever the value. Keep your proof of postage. Branded watches do not travel in a pack: once a quote is agreed they are seen in person or sent by insured special delivery arranged with you.
How long until I'm paid?
We open and test your pack on camera and send you the video and our price within 24 hours of it arriving. Once you accept, we pay by bank transfer the same day.
What if I decline the offer?
Everything comes back to you by insured post, free. There is no obligation at any point and nothing to pay.
Do you buy broken jewellery?
Yes. Broken chains, bent rings, snapped clasps, single earrings and dental gold are all bought. Condition makes no difference to the price because the price is the metal, by the gram, at the published rate.
Do you buy jewellery with stones?
Yes. The metal is weighed and priced with the stones excluded. Stones are assessed separately: we quote for them or return them to you. Uncertified diamonds are quoted at lab-grown rates, so send any certificate you have with the piece.
Do you buy watches?
Gold and silver watches, yes: they are priced on the weight of the case and bracelet at the published rate, and the movement and glass are not priced. Branded watches such as Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Tag Heuer are bought by quote only. Send photos and the details through the form and we come back to you with a quote. They cannot be sent in a Bosca Óir pack, and photo ID and proof of ownership are required on every one.
Do I get paid for a branded watch on the spot?
No. A quote from photos is provisional. Once it is agreed, the watch comes to us in person or by insured special delivery and we take it to an independent watch specialist to confirm it is genuine, which takes about one working day. It stays insured in our care, and the price is confirmed and paid by bank transfer once it passes. If it does not pass, or you change your mind, it is returned to you.
