Jewellery Road Show Ltd is based in Birmingham, UK’s Jewellery Quarter, one of Europe’s largest concentrations of businesses involved in the trade.The UK company has brought the event to Bahrain in association with Tariq Jewellers of Manama. A spokesman said: “Buying gold by weight is easy, anyone can do that.

The difference with our consultants is that they have all spent 25-plus years in the jewellery business and can identify anything at a glance that may carry a premium. “This is what sets us apart from the rest. We will not just pile it on the scales and weigh it, we’ll carefully examine it for your benefit, and ours, we want to keep our collectors happy.

“You can be certain then that you have obtained the best price possible and nothing of any premium value has been unceremoniously scrapped, it is normally this that allows us to pay more than anyone else. Please be assured that all transactions are confidential and paid in cash.”The roadshow consultants are available at the hotel from 10am.
