3 Advantages of Selling Gold With Tavex in 2026

Gold prices have reached record highs, is January is the ideal time to sell?

With gold prices hitting new record levels and the new year underway, many people are choosing January as the right moment to review their finances. After the costs of Christmas, it’s often referred to as the toughest month of the year – and selling unwanted gold jewellery, or gold bullion coins and bars, can be a simple way to release extra cash.

Gold prices remained historically high throughout 2025 and continue to trade at elevated levels. If you have gold jewellery you no longer wear, the start of 2026 could be an excellent time to sell.

Whether you prefer to visit our London store or sell your gold online from the comfort of your home, Tavex is a trusted and established choice. As one of Europe’s leading precious metals dealers, Tavex is chosen by thousands of customers every year. Here’s why:

1) Competitive Gold Prices

When you sell gold with Tavex, your price is calculated transparently based on:

• Carat purity
• Weight
• The live market gold price – applied equally from the very first gram

Unlike many pawnshops or high-street gold buyers, we do not rely on wide margins. With gold prices currently at historically high levels, selling gold jewellery in 2026 can be particularly rewarding.
