Get Cash for Gold Jewelry

While gold jewelry may be the more common form of gold today, you would be surprised to find that your gold jewelry holds much of the same value as other forms of gold. Even the smallest amount of gold jewelry can be worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars, if it has a high carat purity, weight, and premium brand name. Believe it or not, over 50-percent of the world’s gold is found in jewelry, but that doesn’t mean you’re likely to find it laying on the street. Of the 50-percent of gold that is used to make jewelry, 40-percent of that jewelry has been purchased as an investment. Because of the stock market and the economy’s inherent instability, gold has long been considered a stable investment in the future. While gold prices may rise and fall on a day-to-day basis, the relative cost of gold has stayed high for thousands of years. For this reason, it’s never a bad time to consider utilizing our Cash for Gold services.

History of Gold’s Notorious Value

Much like a gold pawn shop, gold’s value has its origins in the barter, trade, and loan system. As far back as human history can go, we have seen evidence of lenders acting like modern day bank tellers and loan officers. In these times, the lenders would accept gold coins as collateral and issue credits for people to fund their trades, such as farming and blacksmithing, as well enable aristocrats to access their cash.

At the Jewelers and Loan. Co, Quincy, MA, we are proud to uphold the tradition of helping everyday people get cash for their neglected gold pieces and we have big plans for the future of Cash for Gold and the GoldPawnership vision. In time, we hope that other jewelry stores as well as banks and other financial institutions will see the countless benefits of Cash for Gold services and integrate them into the way they do business.

Unfortunately, a lot of Americans associate pawn shops with the seedy part of town and other negative connotations. At the Jewelers and Loan Co. Quincy, MA, we hope to shift the American understanding of pawn shops and expand their popularity to a wider audience. For generations, Europe has been a leader in pawn loans and other “cash for valuables services” such as pawn silver and pawn diamonds. There is no shame in the practice.

In Europe and India, borrowing against your assets is considered a financially prudent and socially acceptable way to access the cash flow necessary to support your endeavors. Abroad, gold’s value is typically understood with its simple cash value, but in America, there can be a bit more nuance to the conversation. In America, gold is mostly discussed on the basis of its karat weight and karat purity. The most common form of gold is 14k (fourteen karats) which is roughly .585% pure gold with other concentrations of copper, zinc, palladium, and silver alloy mixed into the jewelry for durability.

Many of our customers from the South Shore area come to our jewelry pawn shop hoping to sell their gold pieces of jewelry, and even dental gold. We are happy to price and accept gold of any condition, especially if you no longer have a use for it. We aim to make this process as simple and straightforward as possible. Simply, place your gold pieces in a Ziploc bag, jewelry pouch, or box of your choice. We are eager to welcome all gold pieces and jewelry in our Quincy pawn shop.

Understanding Karat Purities and Their Effect On Your Cash for Gold Price

Whether you choose to mail in your gold jewelry pieces or you are interested in scheduling a private appointment at our shop, sorting your pieces is a good way to streamline the entire Cash for Gold process. In order to get the fastest and most accurate price for your gold jewelry, it is a good idea to organize each piece based on karat purity and weight and have a baseline calculation of their value based on the current daily spot price for gold.

Once you’ve done this, you can come into our Quincy pawn shop for a walk-in appointment, Fedex your items to us directly, or schedule a private appointment by calling us at 617-479-GOLD (4653).

In addition to our fast cash for gold services, we also offer short term pawn loans. A pawn loan is a great way to access fast cash without officially unloading your sentimental or precious jewelry items. For more information about What We Buy and What We Pawn, browse our website or give us a call. In simplest terms, we will give you a short-term loan with a minimum value of $100. It’s an additional $20 to secure your loan for 4 months with your valuable item as collateral. All of our gold pawn loans are kept secure and confidential with guaranteed safe storage of your valuables for the duration of the loan agreement. Pawn loans do not require a credit check and defaulting on your loan has no bearing on your credit score either. We believe in safe and confidential transactions and always make sure that you receive the most fair-market, second-hand, cash-price for your gold pawn or the many items we pawn and buy.

While pure gold is valuable, it’s more rare than you would expect. The daily spot price of gold is based on the value of pure gold and all subsequent cash for gold purchases use the spot price to calculate the daily value of gold at varying purities. As such, not all gold is created equally and each item must be priced accordingly. Most of the gold that goes unused in people’s homes is found in the form of high school rings, college rings, masonic rings, or fraternity rings is likely 10k, .417, 417%. For this reason, it’s important that you have a solid understanding of your pieces’ value before you intend to sell or pawn.

Staying on top of the daily spot gold price

At Jewelers and Loan Co. of Quincy, we mean it when we say we are your one-stop shop for your jewelry and pawn needs. In order to provide our customers with the utmost degree of confidence, we make it easier than ever to check the daily gold spot price on our website.

The gold spot price chart is always live and it’s available at the top and to the left of all our website pages. It’s also easy to cross check the daily silver spot price, platinum spot price, and palladium spot price if you are interested in any of our Cash for Silver or Cash for Jewelry services.

The combination of our easy-to-read daily spot prices and our jewelers’ unique expertise will make your gold sale as straightforward as possible. Whether you choose to sell to us online or with the help of our team in store, you must determine the value of your pieces. Before you sell any of your unwanted pieces, such as an inherited gold bullion, your grandpa’s gold wristwatch, gold bracelets, gold chains, gold pendants, and/or broken earrings, it’s important that you carefully weigh them and check for stamps denoting their purity.

The daily spot price of gold and other precious metals fluctuates every day during the work week. From Monday to Friday, the trading of gold future contracts and physical gold reserves helps determine the daily price of a troy ounce of gold. The market price sets the tone for all gold sales for that day. Jewelers, pawn shops, pawnbrokers, gold buyers, and gold sellers all benefit from checking the daily spot price and setting their expectations accordingly.

Why is it important to check the daily spot gold prices for cashing in my jewelry?

As mentioned above, the best plans to buy and sell gold always include an intimate knowledge of the current daily spot gold prices. The spot gold prices are listed as the current value for pure 24 karat gold, also measured as .9999 troy ounce (ozt). For reference, there are 20 pennyweights in 1 troy ounce which is also equivalent to 31.1 grams. If you know the weight, karat purity, and daily spot price of gold, you are one step away from strategizing the best time to sell your unwanted gold or silver. The daily spot price changes every day from Monday to Friday and the price you get for your pieces can vary as a result. For this reason, we encourage every individual interested in pawning their precious jewelry or securing a pawn loan to keep a pulse on the spot price before making their final decision to sell, pawn, or borrow against their items.

Checking the daily spot prices for gold and silver is an integral part of strategizing the best time and place to sell your unwanted pieces. Historically, the price of gold has dipped as low as $200 per troy ounce in the 1970s and soared as high as $850 in the 1980s. With history in mind, we know that gold is always a good way to get fast cash, but if you can wait, it may benefit your finances to do so.

 

Thinking about the Appraisal Value of Your Gold

If you have gold jewelry that you are considering selling, it can be challenging to determine the exact value your gold will be appraised for. Don’t despair, it is actually a quite simple process. As a general rule, the heavier the gold and higher the karat purity, the more value the jewelry may hold. Higher karat numbers mean a higher percentage of gold that is pure. The most common gold is fourteen karats or 14KT. This simply means the gold is 14 parts pure gold, or 58.5% pure. This percentage is reached by dividing 14 by 24, which is the highest karat level possible in gold. The other ten parts of the total 24k are sometimes composed of copper, zinc, palladium, silver, and nickel.
A piece of jewelry’s beauty does not indicate its value. Whether it’s gold scrap or gold jewelry, the appearance of the piece is less important than the quality of the gold or the karat purity, the weight in grams, pennyweights, or troy ounces and the current spot gold price of that day. Additionally, if the piece comes from a brand that is considered luxury or high end, or if there are genuine diamonds in the gold jewelry, that can bring additional value.

At the Jewelers & Loan Company, we can provide you with a free, no obligation gold jewelry appraisal that is limited by the amount of jewelry that you have, right here in our Quincy, MA office. While this is typically free, be advised that if you have a large amount of jewelry, a sorting and organizing fee may apply. However, we are happy to provide a price estimate when we can in order to help educate our customers.

What is the best way to maximize my cash after I complete a jewelry sale?

Selling your jewelry to a pawn shop or jeweler is a quick way to get money for your jewelry, but it’s not always the most lucrative. Occasionally, we recommend selling gold jewelry through private retailers or using reputable online platforms to maximize the value of your jewelry. Jewelry with small diamonds is best suited for online sales. The most common jewelry that is best suited to be sold online includes smaller diamonds under a half carat, or finished jewelry with less than a carat total weight of diamonds.

If you are the original owner of your piece, you might remember the attributes that originally attracted you to it. For many customers, it’s the aesthetic of the item and the person who gives it to them that creates value for the wearer. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always translate to resale value. Think about it, if you bought your jewelry as part of a trend and that level of taste is no longer in style, do you think you would pay that same price for that same piece today?

With this in mind, it’s important to make these considerations before you purchase your next jewelry piece. When you are shopping for your next gold piece, consider the purity and the weight. The general rule is, the heavier and more the piece, the more value it will hold. Quality jewelry, value jewelry, or discounted second hand jewelry are all options to a buyer of jewelry or a seller of jewelry. It might cost you more money to purchase a quality piece, but the resale value is higher on percentage terms. Gold plating, or pieces that hold “diamond carat total weight” as described above are generally items to steer clear of, as these do not hold much resale value and are quicker to show signs of age.

Why did my ring cost so much originally and why hasn’t it held its value?

When you buy from a big box jewelry store, you are paying for the overhead costs associated with that big business. These costs include but are not limited to payroll for dozens of employees, the high cost of rent to maintain a storefront in a desirable location, marketing, and promotional expenses. When you choose a local jewelry store, you can maintain your confidence that the cost you are paying for your piece is reflected in the eventual resale value of the piece. Independent jewelers are generally able to provide a more honest and authentic experience when compared to big box stores.

The diamond buying experience is personal and the genuine connection you get at a local jewelry store cannot be matched. As mentioned above, it’s essential that you consider the weight and karat purity of your desired item before you purchase it, if resale value is something you are concerned about.

How do I know if my jewelry is real gold?

Unfortunately, fake gold and gold-plated jewelry are very common. For this reason, it’s important to check for a gold stamp on all your pieces if you are not sure about the authenticity. However, a gold stamp is not the end of the line when determining the authenticity of your gold. Just because there is a stamp, does not mean an item is a genuine gold. There are a lot of types of jewelry that merely appear to be true gold, such as gold-filled jewelry, gold-plated jewelry, gold mixed with copper, gold stamped, and inflated karat genuine gold. Even if a piece of jewelry looks expensive or has a high end designed label attached doesn’t mean it’s real gold either. While a piece of jewelry may look expensive or high end, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is made of real gold.

The best way to determine the authenticity of a given piece is to look for a small karat mark or a manufacturer’s trademark. Each of these stamps can be found on the inside of a clasp, inside of a gold ring, on the end cap of a gold Figaro bracelet, or even a tiny mark on a gold diamond earring post. Common stamps to look out for:

  • 18k
  • 14k
  • 10k
  • 750
  • 417
  • 585
  • 916
  • 999
  • 375
  • “Gold plum”

It’s normal for customers to come in with authentic, stamped gold jewelry, but just as often we see well-meaning folk come in thinking they bought real gold from their friend for a “good deal,” only to find out the item wasn’t true gold.

Of course, our expert jewelers are happy to confirm the authenticity of all your gold jewelry, coins, and broken gold pieces. You can send us a text message, email a picture, or call and stop by during business hours. A small amount of gold collecting dust in a jewelry box can add up fast!

What is the difference between 10k, 14k, 18k and 24k Gold?

Simply put, 10k means that the gold piece is ten-parts pure gold or 41.7% pure. You can arrive at this calculation by dividing the karat weight, in this case 10k, by 24k (the weight of 100% pure gold). Most people will have a general idea of what type of gold they are dealing with when they are considering selling their neglected class rings, corporate gold pin, or the 70’s gold rope style chain.

If you have reason to believe that you are holding onto a solid gold, 24k piece, then you are in a great position to sell your piece. Unfortunately 24k gold is rarely used in jewelry because it is too soft for the durability required of jewelry. Solid gold is most common in other areas of the world like India, China, Russia, Europe and South America. In America, 10k, 14k, and 18k gold jewelry is usually 10k, 14k, or 18k yellow or white gold.

18K gold jewelry is especially common in the United States. Just because it isn’t pure gold doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a high value. Though the value of an 18k jewelry piece is sure to be less than a 24k piece, you can still sell your item for a pretty penny. An 18k gold piece made with 75% pure gold and other metals such as copper, zinc, palladium, and a little silver to help strengthen the piece.

As mentioned above, the most commonly neglected jewelry found in people’s homes is 10k. 10 karat gold is most common in gold class ring jewelry, gold chains, and gold earrings, and these items tend to be darker in appearance than solid gold jewelry due to the higher concentration of other metals.

I noticed a 585 stamp on my gold jewelry. What does that mean?

Gold stamped with 585 is 58.5% gold, or 14k gold. If you remember from above, the best way to figure out the percentage of solid gold in your piece is to divide the karat weight, in this case 14k, by 24k.

What does the 417 stamp on my gold jewelry mean?

The stamp on gold jewelry is derived from the percentage of real gold in a given piece. In the case of a 417 stamp, this means that your piece is 41.7% gold, or 10k.

What does the 750 stamp on my gold jewelry mean?

Gold jewelry stamped with 750 is 75% real gold, also known as 18 karat gold. 18k gold jewelry is often more yellow and brighter than pieces with less solid gold in them.

What does the 375 stamp on my gold jewelry mean?

This stamp is especially uncommon, but it’s typically found on European jewelry items such as Claddagh rings, Celtic Crosses, and even old pocket watches. Gold jewelry with a 375 stamp is roughly 37.5% solid gold and is considered 9k gold. Nine karat gold tends to be very dark in color when compared to solid gold pieces.

What is gold plated jewelry and why doesn’t it hold the same value as regular gold?

Many customers come to us looking to sell gold jewelry pieces that are “gold filled.” This is a very common way to make jewelry today and while it gives off the appearance of solid gold jewelry, it isn’t the same.

Gold-filled jewelry, also known as a gold overlay, is made by using heat and pressure to apply a layer of karat gold to a base metal. This creates an “overlay” of gold on top of the metal.
In order to qualify as a gold-filled piece, the karat of gold in each item must equal at least 1/20 of the total weight of that item. Gold filled pieces can also be 2/20 or 5/10. Gold filled items typically do have a cash value since a certain amount of gold needs to be used to create these pieces.

We Buy Gold Chains and Necklaces

Gold chains and gold necklaces are some of the most common pieces we see in our pawn shop. When our gold buyers look at gold chains and necklaces they are of course looking first at the overall karat purity of the piece, to determine how much real gold is actually in that item.

After we check the daily spot gold rate, we will provide you with a cash offer right on the spot for your pieces.

With gold rings or any piece of gold jewelry you are looking to sell, we will look at the karat purity, weight of the piece and the current value of gold in the market, before we make you a cash offer.

What is a Troy Ounce Compared to a Measurement on an Avoirdupois Scale?

This sounds confusing, but it’s not! Standard measurements in our world today use an Avoirdupois scale. Using this system, there are 16 ounces in a pound. It is the scale most people use when they weigh themselves.

A Troy Ounce, on the other hand, is completely different. The Troy System is used to measure gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals.

A Troy Ounce is heavier than an avoirdupois ounce.

The Troy Ounce used to measure gold, silver and platinum are around 10% heavier than your standard ounce. So, if you have 10 ounces of gold, it would weigh more than 10 ounces of chicken.

However, a Troy pound actually weighs less than an Avoirdupois or standard pound. This is because a Troy Pound has a completely different definition altogether. This type of pound only has 12 ounces in it, instead of 16. In other words, if you have 12 ounces of gold, you have a pound of gold.

How Many Grams are in a Regular Ounce vs a Troy Ounce?

Food is different than metal when it comes to weights. A Troy Ounce, which is used to measure gold, has approximately 31.1 grams in each ounce. A standard ounce or Avoirdupois Ounce is made up of 28.35 grams.
