Antique Heirlooms for Sale at EzyCash Gold Buyers

I have a lovely silver bangle that was given to me by my dad’s parents for my 21st. (That was a long time ago!) I remember opening the box – I was flatting in Mt Vic in Wellington at the time – and my flatmates were all watching. They were as excited as I was! I was so surprised to see such a beautiful piece. It’s very simple and elegant, and they had also had it engraved. It’s one of the few things I own that were given to me by nana and granddad.

My other grandmother gave me a beautiful gold and diamond ring. It was passed down from her grandmother to her, to me – because I am the eldest grand-daughter. It’s come a long way… originally, my grandmother lived on a farm in Holland, until she got married and emigrated to NZ after the war. I will keep the tradition going and pass the ring down to my own grand-daughter if I have one!

My grandparents are all gone now… but wearing the heirloom jewellery they gave me is a very special feeling of family and connection. It’s lovely to know my grandmother used to wear the same ring. I only wear these pieces on special occasions, as I would hate to lose them. They are my favourite things.”

Because of their inconspicuous placement, these stamps will generally go unnoticed, however they do provide some information in regards to the value of your gold or silver jewellery. It is important to note though, that if you did not purchase your gold or silver jewellery from a reputable jeweller or dealer, the stamps on your jewellery may not be legitimate, so it’s best to get a valuation from a professional gold and jewellery valuer such as EzyCash Gold Buyers for more accurate information.

There are two main stamps or markings that you are likely to find on your gold or silver jewellery:

• Metal quality: For gold, this mark indicates the carats, or gold quality, of the piece of jewellery. It may be shown using abbreviations such as 24ct or 18ct or expressed using a decimal figure which denotes the percentage of gold, for example .416 (10ct).
  For silver, quality marks may be used on silver jewellery that contains a minimum of 92.5% pure silver, and this may feature a stamp showing, 925, 92.5 or .925
• Trademark or maker’s stamp: The other mark is likely to be the trademark stamp, initials or logo of the manufacturer or jeweller who crafted the piece. This helps identify the origin, and often the age, of a piece of jewellery and therefore can assist with accurately appraising an item, particularly antique pieces.

EzyCash Gold Buyers offers a gold and silver jewellery valuation service, either in-store or from your own home using our mobile gold-buying service. We can value your gold, silver, diamonds and luxury watches and provide instant cash for your jewellery. So, if you have gold or silver jewellery you would like to exchange for cash, get in touch!

We will also take a look at silver coins from other countries.

Maybe you’ve stumbled across some old silver coins but you’re not sure about what kind of silver coin they might be. Here’s a tip about identifying silver coins from home before bringing them in to EzyCash Gold Buyers’ Panmure store.

You just enter what country your silver coin is from in the menu box to view all the listings and photos. If you find your silver coin you can just click on the image to get more information about it and a potential value.

Then bring the silver coin us at EzyCash Gold Buyers in Panmure, Auckland. We buy old silver coins, silver bullion, silver jewellery, silver ingots as well as gold, diamonds and luxury watches. And we pay a top cash price.

In April last year the price of silver peaked at US$49 a troy ounce.  Currently the spot price of a troy kilo of silver is around NZ$1214 – an increase in the silver price of over 100% cent in the past five years.

This increase in the price of silver is due to a shrinking supply of silver around the world.  And this silver supply is set to shrink slightly further due to an announcement by the Mining Health and Safety Administration in the US.  The Administration has ordered the temporary closure of the silver shaft at the Lucky Friday silver mine in Mullan, Idaho.

The silver mine, owned by Hecla Mining Company, will be closed for maintenance and cleaning until early 2013.  Over time, sand and concrete material has built up in the silver mine and must be removed by power cleaning to prevent future hazards.

After the announcement the silver miner’s share price dropped 21% which lead to fund managers speculating that Hecla, the United States’ largest silver supplier, could be vulnerable to takeover bids.

It’s estimated that an inability to mine silver from Lucky Friday will lessen the companies’ 2012 silver output by about 25%, from 9 million ounces of silver to 7.5 million ounces of silver.

According to the company the financial impact of the silver mine closure will be minimal but it will delay the mining of higher grade silver that sits deeper in the silver mine.

Jobs will also be affected with 200 employees potentially out of work.  Hecla hoped that around 50 workers will be transferred to it’s other major silver mine in Alaska and to two silver exploration sites in Colorado and Idaho.

It’s not the only disruption to the mining of silver and gold around the world either.  In Kyrgyzstan (a mountainous country near Kazahkstan), drilling for a new gold mine was suspended after an arson attack on the gold mining company’s geologist camp by horsemen wielding sticks and petrol bombs.

The conflict has since been resolved with an agreement signed between the gold mining company and local villagers.  Once the gold mine is operational and jobs are created, locals will be given priority, and land-owners will be compensated for any damage that may occur.

Whatever happens in the world of gold and silver, you can be assured that EzyCash Gold Buyers will give you a top cash price for gold jewellery and silver jewellery, all kinds of broken or scrap silver and gold as well as luxury watches and diamonds.  Bring it in for an expert evaluation to our store in Panmure, Auckland.

In 2002, one troy ounce of gold would sell for around US$300.  Apart from a sharp downturn around 2008 when the financial crisis first hit, the rise in the price of gold has been fast and consistent.

Gold is now trading at over US$1700 per troy ounce.

Silver has also mirrored the rise in the price of gold over the past decade.  2002 saw the price of silver hovering around US$5 per ounce.  Nowadays the price of silver is well over US$30 per troy ounce.

It’s the perfect time to sell your gold and silver to EzyCash Gold Buyers in Panmure, Auckland.  You’ll receive an expert valuation of your gold and silver and a top cash price.

Broken and unwanted gold jewellery or silver jewellery, scrap gold or scrap silver – bring it into EzyCash Gold Buyers now and take advantage of the high prices of gold and silver.

To keep track of the price of gold go to gold-price.co.nz because while the gold price remains very high, that doesn’t mean it’s immune to fluctuations.

In January of this year, the price of gold was pushing US$1900 per troy ounce.  And the week ending March 4^th was the worst week for gold since December, with the price settling over US$12 per troy ounce lower.

There are numerous factors affecting the price of gold.  There is often a link between the value of the US dollar and the gold price.  That is, when one goes up, the other goes down.  In recent days, the outlook for the US GDP looks slightly more positive which has had an affect on the price of gold.

Other factors include:

Personal demand – jewellery takes up two-thirds of the world gold production.  As the world population grows and emerging economies (such asBrazilandChina) breed wealthier citizens, the demand for gold jewellery grows.

Central banks – countries hold around 16% of the world’s gold.  They can affect the gold price depending on how much gold they buy and sell (although under a world-wide agreement, countries are only allowed to sell 500 tonnes of gold each year).

Investors – gold is used by investors as a hedge fund against inflation.  As currencies like the Euro continue to be hit by the financial crisis, investors see gold as more reliable investment.

If you’ve invested in gold or have unwanted gold jewellery, broken gold or scrap gold that you are looking to sell, go to EzyCash Gold Buyers in Panmure, Auckland.

Not only is silver used extensively in jewellery but silver is also commonplace in domestic appliances.  And the already

high demand for silver could continue to rise with silver’s use in green technologies.  As the world becomes more aware of the negative effects of climate change, people look for more ways to become more environmentally friendly.

And this is possible in several ways thanks to silver.

So you never know, after selling your silver to EzyCash Gold Buyers, somewhere down the line your silver may be used to help save the planet using one of these technologies:

Silver in solar energy

Solar energy has become a big player in the energy market as it’s cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

But what many people don’t know is the role silver has to play in this technology.  90% of crystalline silicone photovoltaic cells – the most common kind of cell used in solar panels – contains silver paste.

It is estimated that 100 million ounces of silver will be used in solar energy by the year 2015.

Silver in water purification

Silver ions are starting to be added to water purification systems as silver is excellent at preventing the build up of bacteria and algae.  With water-borne disease a serious problem in many countries, silver may play a part in reducing the presence of these diseases in years to come.

Silver in windows

The latest craze sweeping the window industry is invisible silver.  Invisible silver is a transparent coating of silver which turns windows into a real energy saver.  The silver is able to reflect the sun outward while keeping internal heat inward.  One model of invisible silver on the market reflects 95% of the sun’s rays which means air-conditioning costs are significantly reduced.

Do your bit for the planet by bringing your silver jewellery, scrap silver, broken silver and unwanted silver to EzyCash Gold Buyers in Panmure, Auckland.  Sell your silver to EzyCash Gold Buyers and get a top cash price.
