What Affects the Value of Gold and Silver?
Gold and silver offers are based on metal type, purity, weight, current market pricing, condition, and whether the item has resale value beyond melt.
Karat or Purity
Gold purity matters. 10K, 14K, 18K, and higher-karat pieces have different gold content. Sterling silver is usually marked .925.
Weight
Precious metals are weighed in-store. Higher weight generally means more metal value, but purity and item type still matter.
Current Market Pricing
Gold and silver prices change daily. Offers are based on current market conditions at the time of evaluation.
Condition & Resale Demand
Some pieces may have value beyond metal content if they are wearable, branded, collectible, or desirable as jewelry.
Diamond Rings & Estate Jewelry
Diamond rings, wedding sets, loose diamonds, inherited jewelry, and estate pieces can be reviewed in-store. We look at the diamond, setting, metal, condition, and resale demand.
Testing & Verification
Items must be inspected and tested in-store. Stamps help, but testing confirms what the item actually is.
Should You Sell Gold or Pawn It?
Selling is best when you do not want the item back. Pawning is best when you need cash now but want the option to reclaim the item later.
Sell Gold If...
- You do not want the item back
- The piece is broken, mismatched, or outdated
