It really depends. Most shops won't buy gold plated items (unless it is something like gold plated silver) because there really is no demand and the amount of gold on there is very, very, very tiny. On the other hand, if it is something of nice workmanship or an antique, they might buy it for the antique value. But all pawn shops are different, what one accepts readily others might not be willing to accept, the only way to know is to go in and ask.
No, shops in Dublin only accept Euro but you can use UK credit cards etc

Yes, pawn shops may buy HGE (Heavy Gold Electroplate) rings, but they typically offer lower prices for them compared to solid gold rings. HGE rings are made by electroplating a thin layer of gold over a base metal, so they have less intrinsic value. Pawn shops will consider factors like the weight of the ring, the current market price of gold, and the demand for such items when determining their offer. It's advisable to get the ring appraised by a jeweler first to understand its true value before selling it to a pawn shop.
