Trade In Gold Jewellery With Black Finch's Gold Swap Program

There's a signet ring in your jewellery box from someone who no longer deserves space in your story. A broken chain tangled at the back of a drawer. Your grandmother's bracelet that carries her memory but not her style. Gold that once meant something, waiting for permission to mean something new.

At Black Finch, we believe jewellery should evolve with you, not gather dust while you scroll through engagement rings just out of your budget, or everyday pieces you'd wear if only the price of gold wasn't climbing. That's where our Gold Swap Program comes in, a way to trade in gold for jewellery that actually reflects who you are now.

A New Chapter for Old Gold

Gold doesn’t fade, it holds on. To memories, to moments, to versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. Across Australia and beyond, drawers are filled with broken chains, mismatched earrings, and heirloom pieces too sentimental to sell but too dated to wear.

Your gold still holds value, not just sentimentally, but materially. With gold prices at historic highs, that forgotten jewellery could be the foundation for something new.

How the Gold Swap Program Works

Bring your old gold pieces into our Collingwood studio (or post them to us). We’ll test and value them at the current market rate. Once approved, you’ll receive store credit that can be used toward any Black Finch piece, ready-to-ship or custom made.

That chain you never wear could become the band of your dream engagement ring. The signet from an ex might transform into a pendant you actually love. Your grandmother’s bracelet could return as something that carries her memory forward in a way that feels like you.

Why Trade In Gold Jewellery Instead of Selling It?

When you trade in gold with Black Finch, your pieces stay part of something meaningful. Every gram of gold we receive is refined and reused in our Melbourne workshop, becoming part of our 100% recycled gold commitment.

Unlike gold buyers who melt pieces offshore, we keep your gold local, part of a sustainable cycle that honours both the earth and the stories attached to each piece.

And practically speaking, with gold at record highs, your old jewellery may be worth more than you think. What once sat forgotten could now bring your next heirloom within reach.

Sustainable Luxury, Made Personal

Trading in gold isn’t just an act of renewal, it’s an act of care. Recycled gold carries no environmental cost, no mining impact, no new scars on the earth. It’s a circular story: refined, reshaped, and reborn without losing its essence.

Your jewellery becomes part of that cycle. Designed, handcrafted, and finished in Melbourne by our team of artisans.

How to Get Started Trading In Your Gold

If you're reading this and mentally cataloguing the jewellery you've been meaning to sort through, here's what to do next:

1. Gather your pieces. Look for anything you haven’t worn in over a year, broken, outdated, or sentimental pieces ready for a new life.

2. Submit online. Complete our form, then drop off or post your jewellery using our pre-paid label.

3. Receive your quote. We’ll weigh, test, and value your gold at current rates - no obligation.

4. Create something new. Approve your credit and use it toward any Black Finch piece, custom or ready-to-ship.

Gold Is Forever, But Its Form Doesn't Have To Be

When you trade in gold through our Gold Swap Program, you’re not letting go of something precious, you’re giving it permission to evolve. 

And if your family pieces hold cherished gemstones or diamonds, our heirloom redesign service can preserve them while reimagining the rest. The gold was always valuable, now, it gets to be beautiful again too.
