Thinking About Selling Your Jewelry? Here’s What to Know Before You Sell Gold or Silver

Maybe you’ve got a few old pieces collecting dust—broken chains, a ring you never wear, or something you inherited but don’t connect with.

Selling your gold or silver jewelry can be a smart way to declutter and make some extra cash. But before you visit a buyer, it helps to know what to expect—and how to get the most for your items.

But here’s the truth: not all buyers are created equal.

Before you sell, here’s what you should know—and why our store is the trusted place to do it.

Not All Jewelry Is Just "Scrap"—It Can Be Worth More

A lot of gold buyers will weigh your piece and give you a “melt value” offer. That’s it.

But here’s the thing: some jewelry is worth more than just its weight.

If your piece is vintage, from a known designer, or has high-quality stones, it might be better off being resold than melted down. That’s something a general gold buyer might not consider—but a jeweler (like us) will.

It’s Okay Not to Know What You Have

Most people don’t walk in knowing if their bracelet is 10k or 18k, or how much it weighs—and that’s totally fine. We test everything for you, right in front of you, and explain what we’re seeing as we go. No pressure, no obligation. Just real information so you can make the decision that feels right.

Get More Than One Offer (Seriously)

It’s always a good idea to get a second opinion when selling something valuable—especially jewelry.

Different places may offer different things: some pay based on gold content alone, others (like us) may also look at resale value or the condition of the stones. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and take your time.

Our goal isn’t to melt down everything—we restore, resell, and repurpose, so we can often pay more than typical “cash for gold” operations.

Transparency Really Matters

When you’re selling something personal—even if it’s broken—it helps to work with someone who takes the time to explain the process.

At our shop, we always test and weigh your items in plain sight. We’ll walk you through the offer and answer any questions. And if you’re not ready to sell? That’s okay too!
