1. Sustainable Luxury
Many of the items we sell come with personalised chains, but they can easily be swapped out to suit your style. By choosing a second hand piece, you’re extending the life of jewellery that could otherwise be melted down. Plus, you’re helping to reduce the environmental toll of mining for new gold.
Enjoy luxury pieces with the reassurance that your purchase supports more sustainable practices.
2. Buy an Investment Piece
Unless you’re after a highly sought-after item, you’ll likely pay a fraction of the cost for a second hand gold coin necklace compared to a brand-new one. At auction, you often pay closer to the value of the gold content itself, avoiding the heavy mark-ups found at retail stores.
This makes your gold coin necklace better value for money and an investment. Gold rarely loses value, and prices are at their highest in 2024, with a forecast for further growth in 2025.
3. One-of-a-Kind Gold Coin Necklaces
In today’s world of fast fashion and mass-produced goods, it’s rare to find something truly special. Buying your gold coin necklaces at auction is a way to break away from the monotony of mass production.

5. Own a Piece of History
Buying second hand jewellery means owning something that once held personal significance. You’re not only acquiring a beautiful piece but a bit of history.

Perhaps your gold coin necklace was once a Victorian wedding gift or a lavish adornment worn to a grand ball. If you shop retail, the chances of owning such a unique piece are slim. But at auction, the possibilities are endless.
