If you have broken, scrap or unwanted gold, diamonds or watches, please call RAFT today on 01923 835815 and we would be delighted to send you a pack. Simply place gold in the pack we send, fill out your contact details and send off in prepaid envelope (you just need to obtain proof of postage) and you will be contacted with a quotation by C4MG, if you're happy they send you your cheque and RAFT theirs, if not they will return your items to you.
