Pieces with a personal story.
Bring gold rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, or other gold jewelry. Broken or mismatched pieces can still be worth discussing. Stones, construction, and condition are considered alongside the metal.
Gold pawn loans · Whittier, California
Your gold.A way back to it.
Gold jewelry you want to keep. Coins you have collected over time. A pawn loan lets you use eligible gold as collateral, with the opportunity to redeem it under your loan agreement.
Start with what you ownA single piece.
A single piece.
A thoughtful evaluation.
These are starting points for a conversation. Acceptance and the available loan amount depend on the actual item.
Value in the details.
Bring gold coins or bars in their existing holders, with assay cards or grading information you have. Collectible details may matter as well as the precious-metal content.
Start with a conversation.
A stamp or color alone does not establish the metal content. Bring the actual piece for evaluation. Call first about unusual material or a larger holding.
Modern technology. Personal service.Know the metal.
Know the metal.
Understand the details.
We use advanced X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology to analyze metal purity and composition. XRF analysis is non-destructive and does not require scratching or cutting during the analysis.
Testing is one part of a careful evaluation. We also inspect and weigh the item and consider the details that affect its suitability as collateral. For coins, collectible characteristics and condition can matter alongside metal content.
The precious-metals ticker is an indicative market reference. It does not represent the amount you can borrow or the price we will pay for a particular piece.

More frequently asked questions →Is pawning different from selling?
Yes. A pawn loan uses your item as collateral and gives you the opportunity to redeem it under the agreed terms. A sale is an outright exchange of the item for an accepted purchase price. Explore selling gold →
How much can I borrow against my gold?
The available loan amount depends on an in-person evaluation of the actual item. Weight and purity matter, along with condition, construction, and relevant demand. We do not quote a guaranteed loan amount from a photograph or a metal stamp.
Does the ticker show my loan amount?
No. The ticker shows indicative spot prices in U.S. dollars per troy ounce. It is a market reference, not a purchase offer or a pawn-loan quote. Check its timestamp and speak with our team about your particular item.
What will my loan cost?
For pawn loans up to $2,499.99, rates and charges are regulated by California statute. Loans of $2,500 and above are available at very competitive rates. We’ll explain your loan’s terms and applicable charges before you decide.
Will XRF testing damage my item?
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is non-destructive and does not require scratching or cutting during that analysis. We use the result as one part of the evaluation alongside inspection, weighing, and the details of your piece.
What should I know about redeeming my item?
Follow the dates, charges, and redemption terms on your pawn ticket. If you need more time, contact the shop before your due date to discuss available renewal options. An item may be forfeited if it is not redeemed under the contract and applicable notice requirements.
Can I arrange a private evaluation?
Yes. Call (562) 945-0290 to coordinate an appointment-based private evaluation for a significant piece or larger holding. Everyday item evaluations are also welcome during store hours.
