Open WhatsAppSell Gold Earrings — What You Need to Know
Gold earrings are often the most overlooked pieces in a jewellery collection — sitting unworn in a drawer, missing a partner, or simply out of style. Whatever the reason, Sell My Gold buys gold earrings in any condition, including singles and broken pieces. Every gram of gold has value, regardless of the style or state of the earring.
Lost one earring? Bent post or broken hook? The gold weight is what determines your payout — not whether the pair is complete or wearable.
Once we receive and test your earrings, payment is made immediately via EFT directly to your bank account. No waiting, no delays.
Studs, hoops, drops, chandeliers, sleepers, clip-ons. We buy all earring types in all karats — plain gold or set with certified stones.
Many clients sell inherited earrings they have no use for. We handle every transaction with complete discretion and professionalism.
Not in Pretoria? Our fully insured courier service lets you sell from anywhere in South Africa. Contact us first for secure packing instructions.
We use professional XRF testing to verify karat accurately on the spot. We explain exactly how the value is calculated before you decide.
Common Gold Earring Types & Typical Weights
Earrings are typically lighter than other jewellery pieces, but the gold value adds up — especially when selling multiple pairs. Here's a guide to typical weights per pair:
| Earring Type | Typical Weight (pair) | Common Karat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small gold studs | 0.5–2g | 9ct / 18ct | Very common, often 9ct in SA |
| Sleeper hoops | 1–3g | 9ct / 18ct | Fine wire hoops, everyday wear |
| Medium hoops | 3–8g | 9ct / 14ct | Classic style, wide range of sizes |
| Large hoops | 5–15g | 9ct / 18ct | Higher value due to gold volume |
| Drop / dangle earrings | 2–8g | 9ct / 18ct | Depends on length and design |
| Chandelier earrings | 5–15g | 18ct | Often set with stones; gold weighed separately |
Where to Find the Karat Stamp on Earrings
Earrings often have their karat stamp in a small, hard-to-see location. Here's where to look and what the stamps mean:
| Where to look | Stamp | Karat | Gold content |
|---|---|---|---|
| On the post or back | 375 | 9ct | 37.5% pure gold |
| Inside the hoop | 585 | 14ct | 58.5% pure gold |
| On the clasp or fitting | 750 | 18ct | 75% pure gold |
| On a small tag or charm | 916 | 22ct | 91.6% pure gold |
