Ways to help us make sure you walk out with the most cash possible
If you have gold jewelry that you no longer wear, you might want to consider selling it. If you don’t wear the jewelry because it’s broken, high gold prices may make it cost-prohibitive to repair. Fortunately, those same high gold prices can make selling your broken, damaged, or ugly gold jewelry a winning proposition. Here are 3 simple tips that should help ensure you get the best deal when selling gold jewelry.
Clean the Jewelry
We will buy gold jewelry no matter what condition it is in, as long as the metal is at least 10 karat gold. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to bring in a ring, bracelet, or necklace with 20 years of soap, lotion, and miscellaneous crud stuck to it. By cleaning the jewelry before you bring it, you can sometimes improve the appraisal value. For example, by uncovering the karat weight mark, you can make sure you get the appropriate price for the quality of gold you have rather than the baseline 10k price. If your piece has any gemstones, cleaning can help them look their best. Remember, the clearer and brighter a stone looks, the more it is worth.
Bring Documentation
If you have any type of documentation related to the gold jewelry you’re trying to sell, bring it with you. Though we do have expert appraisers, the more information you can provide about your jewelry the easier our job will be. Examples of documentation could include a gemstone certification card, an appraisal statement, or proof that the jewelry was insured for a certain value.
Come to Gems & Jewelry Inc.
One final tip—and perhaps the most important one—is to bring your gold jewelry to Gems & Jewelry Inc. This will help ensure you get the best deal because we give you a price based on the current market value of gold right on the spot. Our staff is highly experienced in evaluating all kinds of jewelry and we will tell you honestly if your gold jewelry is worth more as scrap gold or as a fine jewelry piece and pay you accordingly. If you like the price we quote you, you can walk out of our shop the very same day with cash in hand. If you decide you’d rather pawn the jewelry and have the option of recovering it later on, we can offer you that option as well. Come visit us today and we’ll do whatever we can to help you.
