O2P knows of one person who will be hanging on to hers for a lifetime – because it isn’t scrap!

Congratulations to Amy Williams, “The first individual British gold medallist at the Winter Olympics for 30 years having won the skeleton event in Vancouver.”

What an accomplishment and according to the article in the BBC, Williams has been tucking her gold medal underneath her pillow every night because she doesn’t “really know what else to do with it.”

Williams’ comment made me think…I bet there are a lot of people who have broken, unwanted and outdated scrap gold lying around because they just don’t know what to do with it.

Luckily, there is a solution…you get cash for gold when you sell to O2P!

That way you can get something you will really cherish and possibly want to tuck underneath your pillow every night too.

According to No Dirty Gold’s website, “Minerals are a nonrenewable resource, which means they can only be taken out of the ground one time.  Once mineral deposits have been depleted, the aftermath of a large-scale mining operation is typically a landscape of devastation:  Thousands of hectares of poisoned, rubble-strewn land drained by acidic streams that will likely remain polluted for thousands of years to come.”

With the knowledge of how devastating mining can be to the surrounding people and landscape it is important to do what one can to mitigate these effects.

Thankfully, almost everything today is recyclable – including your old jewellery!  

To sell scrap gold rings at an O2P Pure Gold Party is recycling at its very basics, much like collecting and recycling aluminum cans. However, selling your old gold to O2P will be far more profitable for you and the environment!

Not to mention the added value of having a fun night out with your friends and the cheque you go home with!

 Our latest incentive, a spa weekend for two at Champneys, is soon to be awarded to one of our lucky hostesses and we are looking for our next great incentive!

 In the past we have also offered champagne to get your party started but we want to know what you would really be keen on getting or possibly winning.

 Send us your thoughts and maybe it will become our next great-give-away!

 Cheers!

Fortunately, O2P can help you out whether it is at our office or at your gold party!

We test and weigh everything for you so bring your jewellery and we will help make a determination of its value based on its gold content.

Some true gold may have color variations that will surprise you. On the other hand, some gold plated jewellery is done so well that you might think it is real when it actually turns out not to be.

Either way, our trained experts will help you figure out the value of your gold.

If you feel like experimenting at home…simply run a magnet over your scrap gold. If the piece attracts to the magnet the item could be fake, could be plated or could have a very low karat weight.

Please call 0207 745 6268 or email us at info@ounces2pounds.com

We will explain how a gold party works and get you on your way to hosting your very own “Party of Pure Gold! “

It is simple, fun and best of all you make CASH for gold!!

Let us assist you in organising a pure gold party for your charity’s contributors.

Your supporters will receive great prices for selling their unwanted, broken or old gold, silver and platinum while O2P donates 10 percent of the payouts to your charity. On top of that, your organisation will receive a further 5 percent of the payouts from parties booked by your supporters.

O2P is providing an opportunity for charities and their supporters to take advantage of gold being at its’ all time high, while donations are bordering on an all time low.

Luckily, O2P offers private appointments at our office locations!

If you have old gold that you or your friends wish to sell but are unable to host a party at your home you can contact us to make a private appointment.

 Please call 0207 745 6268 or email info@ounces2pounds.com if you have additional questions or to schedule an appointment.

You will still make great prices for your own gold and commission on any scrap gold that you bring on behalf of your friends.

The most important thing to remember about being the party hostess is that everyone is there to have FUN and since O2P is providing the entertainment good times are almost a guarantee! Let me clarify, you as a party hostess are having your nearest and dearest over so they can make money off their scrap jewelry. Who wouldn’t have fun at that type of party?

Since the entertainment factor is provided you may be wondering what else you can do to make the party more enjoyable for your guests. Our recommendation is to provide food and beverages. Now depending on your guests this could be tea and crackers, wine and cheese, beer and pizza – just whatever they would like to nibble on while they wait. The bonus for you is that if your party has a minimum payout of £700 then you get an extra £35 to assist with the cost of hosting.

Being a gold party hostess is as simple as that: providing a location for everyone to gather and providing treats for everyone to eat. If you are an adventurous hostess you could decide to have a themed party. Here are a few themes that we find delightful.

• Anti-Valentine’s Day
• Ugly Sweater 
• Decade
• Wine Tasting

That being said – our Facebook page needs some fans!

This would be an awesome way for hostesses to share their experiences in regards to hosting gold parties! What works, what doesn’t, what is a great party theme (Wine and Cheese tasting versus Anti-Valentine’s Day) … the possibilities are endless!

So send us photos from your party or post a comment on our wall … we would love to communicate with our hostesses and their guests via FB and spread the fun!

PS – we also Tweet!
