But don’t rush just yet – there are some things you should know about selling gold for cash so that you don’t get ripped off by unscrupulous buyers.
Selling Gold Jewelry – Do I Scrap it?
Most of us have all sorts of jewelry lying around – old gold jewelry, new gold jewelry and gold jewelry that’s, well, to be quite frank about it, junk gold jewelry. It could be a class ring you wore the summer you graduated high school and never again; a bracelet you got as a gift on your 13th birthday that is too sweet and girlie for your grown-up tastes; a gold chain your college beau bought you once upon a time and which has since – like your relationship – broken apart; a gold watch of grandpa’s that stopped working long ago and no one in your family wanted to wear anyway; and all those assorted gold earrings that have been sad singletons since their mates went missing.
This type of gold jewelry is only worth its weight in gold and so it is perfect for the scrap heap. The only thing that matters when you sell gold jewelry for scrap is the quality and the quantity of gold in the item. All the gold buyer wants from your miscellaneous jewelry is to melt it down and recover its precious metal.
And when selling gold, it is not only jewelry you should consider. Have any gold dental crowns or dental bridgework? Any bits of gold you got from panning? A plain wedding band that from your hated ex spouse? These can all get scrapped too – turning junk taking up space into cash in your pocket.
Selling Gold Jewelry – The Basics
What a buyer is willing to pay you for your gold jewelry is determined by the following factors:
*the karat of the metal
*the weight of the piece
*the price of gold the day you are selling
*the refining or assaying fee
*the buyer’s profit margin
