Sovereigns, krugerrands and coins
Bullion coins and older sovereigns, priced against the live gold market rather than a flat scrap rate.
Borrow against your gold. Yours again when you repay.
Trinity makes pawn loans against gold (sovereigns and krugerrands, bars, and gold jewellery you no longer wear) from £500 with no maximum. Tested and weighed by specialists, insured door to door, held securely in the City of London, and returned to you exactly as you left it when you repay.
No credit checks. Nothing on your credit file. Offer the same day.
What is your gold worth as a loan?
Tell us the carat and the weight, and send a few photos. A specialist prices it against the live gold market and comes back with an indicative offer the same day: at no cost, and with no obligation.

What your gold would raise
Set the weight and the carat and see what the metal is worth today, and what we would lend against it. Testing decides the figure in your offer. This is the arithmetic behind it.

Indicative only. Your gold is tested for purity and weighed to a tenth of a gram before any offer is made, and the gold price moves daily. Stones, settings and anything that is not gold are excluded from the weight. Worked from £100.43 a gram for fine gold, as at 28 September 2026 (BullionVault spot).
What we lend against
The gold we lend against
We lend against gold in every form people actually hold it, coins and bars bought as an investment, jewellery worn for years, and pieces that are broken or never worn again. Hallmarks help, but we test what we cannot read.
Bars and bullion
From single grams to kilo bars, with or without their assay certificates.
Jewellery gold
Chains, rings and bracelets: 9ct through 24ct, hallmarked or tested by hand.
Broken and odd pieces
Single earrings, broken chains and pieces you no longer wear. We lend against the gold they contain.
What it costs to borrow
Priced below the high street, in writing
Your gold is tested for carat and weighed to a tenth of a gram, then priced against the gold market on the day, not a flat scrap rate set months ago. That means an accurate valuation and a competitive loan, at rates lower than the typical high-street pawnbroker.

How it works
Four steps. Your gold back at the end.
Step 01
Tell us about your gold
Send the carat, the weight and a few photos. A specialist prices it against the live market and sends an indicative offer the same day.
Step 02
Send it to us, insured
Free, fully insured delivery. Or bring it to our City of London office by appointment. Insured from the moment it leaves your hands.
Step 03
Accept the offer and get paid
Once we have tested and weighed it in person we confirm the valuation. Accept, and the money is with you within 24 hours.
Step 04
Your gold back at the end
Loans run for six months and can be extended. Repay early and you pay less, with no penalty. Your gold is returned to you when you repay.
How we value gold
Tested, weighed and priced to the live market
Every piece is tested for carat and weighed on calibrated scales, then priced against the gold market that day, so the figure reflects exactly what you have.
Tested, not assumed
Carat confirmed by test, whether or not there is a legible hallmark.
Priced to the live market
Valued against the gold price on the day, not a rate set weeks ago.
Weighed to a tenth of a gram
On calibrated scales, with the working shown to you.
Nothing sight-unseen
You see the valuation before you commit to anything.
Why Trinity rather than the high street
A pawnbroker for gold you intend to keep.
Cash-for-gold shops buy your gold outright, and then it’s gone. We lend against it instead: you keep ownership throughout, and it comes back to you when you repay.
