Gold, in all its forms

Worn. Unworn.
Worth a conversation.

It doesn’t have to be a perfect piece to be worth bringing in. Here are a few places to start.

Gold jewelry

Rings, necklaces, chains, bracelets, and earrings you no longer wear.

02 /

Broken & scrap gold

Broken chains, damaged gold jewelry, and single earrings can still be worth evaluating.

Understand the evaluation

A clear look at
what shapes value.

Gold value starts with the metal. A thoughtful evaluation also considers the details of the item you bring.

Purity

What’s in the metal.

Karat describes the proportion of gold in an alloy. We examine and test the item to help establish its gold content.

Weight

How much gold is there.

The relevant metal weight matters. Stones and other components also need to be considered when evaluating a piece.

Market

Value at the time.

Gold prices change. An in-person offer considers market conditions when your item is evaluated.

The piece itself

More than one detail.

For jewelry with resale potential, design, brand, craftsmanship, and condition can also matter. We look at the item as a whole.

An online gold price isn’t a quote for every item. Your item’s details and its evaluation determine the offer we discuss with you.

More frequently asked questions
Can I sell broken gold jewelry?

Yes. A broken clasp or missing match doesn’t remove the gold from a piece. Bring broken gold jewelry, scrap pieces, or single earrings for evaluation.

What if I don’t know the karat or purity?

You don’t need to know in advance. We use XRF technology to analyze your gold’s purity and metal composition without damaging the piece during that analysis. We also inspect and weigh the item as part of the evaluation.

Can you tell me what my gold is worth over the phone?

We can discuss what you have and help you prepare for a visit. A purchase offer depends on an in-person evaluation, including the item’s weight, purity, and other relevant details.

What should I bring?

Bring your gold and valid government-issued photo ID. Include receipts, certificates, original packaging, or other supporting paperwork you have. If you’re missing something, call our team with your questions.

Do I need an appointment?

Walk in during store hours for everyday evaluations. For a larger collection, bullion holding, or high-value pieces, call ahead to arrange a private appointment.

Can I get a pawn loan instead of selling?

Yes. If you’d like the opportunity to get your item back, ask about a loan secured by the item. Our How It Works page explains the pawn-loan process.
