What we evaluate
Gold Jewelry We Buy

Broken & unwanted gold
Broken or Unwanted Gold Jewelry Can Still Have Value
Gold jewelry doesn't need to be wearable or in perfect condition to be worth evaluating. A broken chain, a bent ring, a single earring, or a tangled pile of old pieces — if there's gold in it, there may be value in it. The gold content is what matters most, not the condition of the piece.
- Broken or kinked chains
- Bent or damaged rings
- Single earrings (no pair needed)
- Tangled or knotted jewelry
- Old or outdated pieces you no longer wear
- Mismatched or incomplete sets
If your jewelry contains diamonds or gemstones, we evaluate and purchase the gold only. Stones are not included in the gold weight or value calculation, and when possible can be removed and returned to you.
How your offer is determined
What Determines the Value of Your Gold Jewelry
Gold jewelry value is primarily driven by three things: the karat or purity of the gold (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K), the weight of the gold content, and the current gold market price. We test and weigh your items in person using a calibrated scale and professional testing tools, then explain our offer clearly so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number.
- Karat / purity — 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, or 24K
- Weight of the gold content
- Current gold market price
- Authenticity and condition
- Refining considerations and business margin
Market and spot gold prices are provided for reference only and do not represent our purchase price. As a business purchasing items for resale or refining, our offers are below the full displayed spot price. We explain this clearly before any transaction.

Common questions
Gold Jewelry FAQ
Can I sell broken gold jewelry?
Yes. Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, and other damaged or unwanted gold jewelry can still be evaluated for their gold content. The condition of the piece matters less than the gold it contains.
Do you buy gold jewelry with missing or damaged stones?
We can evaluate qualifying gold jewelry with missing or damaged stones. We evaluate and purchase the gold only — stones are not included in the gold weight or value, and when possible can be removed and returned to you.
How do you determine what my gold jewelry is worth?
Value is primarily based on three factors: the karat or purity of the gold (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K), the weight of the gold content, and the current gold market price. We also consider authenticity, condition, and refining considerations. We test and weigh your items in person and explain the offer clearly.
