Pricing your gold jewelry depends on several factors.

• The spot price of gold

  Before selling jewelry, you can check today’s gold price at the bottom of our site or at any number of precious metals web sites. This is the price pure gold is trading at per ounce on the open market.

• The Karat (K) of your gold

  This is the purity of your gold jewelry. 24 Karat (K) is considered pure or 100% gold. 12K is 50% gold. In America, most jewelry is 14K which contains 58.50% gold. When you are selling gold, we test it to determine what Karat it is. To insure that our readings are accurate, we use two different methods to test all jewelry, each independently tested by different people.

• The weight of your gold

  The industry standard is to use pennyweight (DWT). There are 20 pennyweights in a troy ounce of gold. We use super accurate scales that are calibrated each day for near perfect accuracy.
