Refining. Dublin and all of Ireland.
Gold refining in Ireland
Refine your gold with us in Dublin or by insured post from anywhere in Ireland. 9ct to 24ct jewellery and scrap comes back to you as 999.9 grain or a bar, minus our 15% fee on the fine content, taken in metal. No cash fee, no invoice.
What gold we refine
9ct (375), 14ct (585), 18ct (750), 22ct (916) and 24ct jewellery, chains, rings, bench scrap and lemel. Everything is weighed and XRF tested on intake, so unmarked pieces and mixed-carat lots are no problem: you get the fine content figures before anything is refined.

Refining gold, question by question
Where can I refine gold in Ireland?
We refine gold in Dublin and take lots from anywhere in Ireland by insured post. Tell us it is a refining lot, post it or drop it in, and we return 999.9 gold grain or a bar to you.
What gold can be refined?
Anything from 9ct up: jewellery, chains, rings, bench scrap and lemel. Fine content is measured by XRF on intake, so unmarked, worn and mixed-carat lots are fine, and you get the figures before anything is refined.
What does gold refining cost?
One fee: 15% of the fine gold content, taken in metal. There is no cash charge and no invoice. Send 50 g of 9ct and you get 15.8 g of 999.9 gold back.
What about stones and steel findings?
Stones, springs and steel findings are not gold and are not counted in the fine content. Tell us if you want stones removed and returned before the metal is refined.
Can I sell the gold instead of refining it?
Yes, at our published buy price, paid by bank transfer. See the gold page for today's price per gram by carat.
Full details of the process, grain versus bar and our fee are on the main refining page. Refining silver too? See silver refining in Ireland. Rather sell than refine? See sell gold.
