Professional XRF testing

Precious metal testing in Northampton.

We use a professional handheld XRF analyser to identify the elements present at the surface of suitable items — quickly and without cutting into them.

What to know

Clear, straightforward and in store.

  • Non-destructive surface-composition analysis
  • Gold, silver, platinum and palladium
  • Suitable jewellery, watches, coins and selected antiques
  • Useful for unusual, unhallmarked or mixed-metal items
  • Appointments available at 52 Gold Street
  • Results explained in plain English

XRF measures the tested surface area. Plating, fillings, solder, coatings and an item’s construction can affect results. It is not a UK hallmark, formal assay, valuation or complete authenticity guarantee.
