Sell Gold in Melbourne — Best Price & PostSafe Guide

Sell Gold in Melbourne with PostSafe

Selling gold in Melbourne is easier than you think. With Divorce Your Jewellery’s free PostSafe — free, insured, Australia-wide service, Melbourne residents can sell their gold jewellery, diamonds and engagement rings without visiting a store. Post your items from any Melbourne suburb — they’re insured up to $10,000 in transit.

Most gold buyers in Melbourne are pawn shops or general dealers who offer blanket prices without specialist assessment. Divorce Your Jewellery is different: we are jewellers, not gold dealers. That distinction matters.

PostSafe is our Australia Post registered mail service — free, tracked, and insured up to $10,000 at no cost to you. For items worth more, we purchase additional insurance before you post. Melbourne clients receive their PostSafe pack within 2–3 business days of ordering. Total process from posting to payment: typically 3–5 business days.

Diamond & Engagement Rings: we assess gold + diamond separately, paying for both. No GIA certificate required. diamond and engagement rings

Broken or Scrap Gold: chains without clasps, bent rings, dental gold — the gold content retains value regardless of condition.

Gold Coins & Bars: assessed by purity and weight against current spot price.

Luxury Brands: Tiffany, Cartier and luxury brands items are assessed for brand premium in addition to gold and diamond value.

How Gold Value Is Calculated

Gold prices are currently at near-historic highs in AUD, making 2026 an excellent time to sell. Your payout is calculated as:

Offer = Gold Weight (grams) × Gold Purity % × Current AUD Spot Price

Example:

  • 18ct gold ring, 5g total weight
  • Gold content: 5g × 75% = 3.75g pure gold
  • Current AUD spot (approximate): ~$140/gram
  • Indicative offer: ~$525 (before market variation)

We will always show you the full calculation so you understand exactly what you’re receiving and why.
