Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, old dental gold all have one thing in common: if it’s gold, it has value. VINTARI buys scrap gold in Adelaide at live market rates, and we pay based on what the metal is actually worth, not what it looks like.
Scrap gold is tested and weighed the same way as any other gold we buy. We use a certified Vanta XRF Analyser to identify the exact purity of each piece, weigh everything on calibrated scales, and show you the reading before we make an offer. The price is tied to the live gold spot price with a transparent margin of 93%.
Snapped chains, bent rings, broken clasps and single earrings are all bought on gold content. The damage doesn’t matter.
Got a bag of random pieces you’ve collected over the years? We assess each item individually and give you a clear offer on the lot.
Old crowns, bridges and fillings often contain high-purity gold. We test and weigh dental gold the same way as any other piece.
Jewellery components, off-cuts and manufacturing scraps are welcome at VINTARI.
Most people don’t realise how much their scrap gold is worth until they get it tested. A broken 18ct chain that’s been sitting in a drawer for years can be worth significantly more than you’d expect. At VINTARI, we test everything in front of you so you can see the purity reading yourself and understand exactly where the offer comes from.
People leave VINTARI feeling like they got a fair go, which is why they come back and tell their friends.

Anything made of gold that’s broken, damaged, unwanted or no longer wearable counts as scrap gold. This includes jewellery, dental gold, findings and off-cuts.
No. The value is based on gold content and weight, not whether the piece is wearable. A broken ring is worth the same as an intact one of the same purity and weight.
No. We assess the gold content of the piece as-is. If a stone has value, we’ll let you know.
No need. Dirt and tarnish don’t affect the reading or the offer.
Yes, and it’s very common. We assess each piece individually so you know exactly what each item contributed to the total.
