many people are taking a second look at the old pieces that have been collecting dust, lying in a drawer, or worn only on very dressy occasions. Maybe you lost one of Granddad’s gold cufflinks. There may be scrap value – cash – in that unmatched piece of gold jewelry. Or, you’ve held on to that sorority pin for 50 years, and now it’s time to let it go. Bring it in to our shop for a fair appraisal of what it is worth, and for a smooth transaction that puts money in your purse.
Take a look at those pieces you have. , They are most likely marked with the karat weight. Here are the common stamps you will find on gold jewelry; 10kt (.417); 12kt (.50); 14kt (.583); 18kt (.750); 22kt (.917); or 24kt (.999). As you would expect, the higher the karat weight the more pure the gold, and the higher value it can have when you bring it in to sell to us for cash.
- Jewelry is made of many different types of gold: solid gold, gold plate, gold filled, gold overlay, gold electroplate, gold flashed/washed or rolled gold plated. 10 karat gold is the minimum fineness that may be sold in the U.S. Jewelry under 10kt fineness may not be sold as gold.
Why you should not send it off in the mail to get cash. , Some people think this is the quickest and easiest way to cash in on gold jewelry. It is also the riskiest. Even though the online or TV gold buyer sends you a “special packing envelope”, it does not guarantee the outfit is legitimate. Think of it this way: would you ask a stranger in an airport to hold on to that piece of gold jewelry? Would you let them have it while they went to the ATM to get the cash to pay you? Plus, how long will you have to wait for the mail order gold buyer to send your cash?
- We deal in-person. We maintain security at our store. We have a certified appraiser on staff. (Did you know most mail-in outfits that buy gold jewelry assess it with a machine?) We work eye to eye, with our trained eye backed by 30 years of experience. They call it precious metal for a reason. We treat the piece and you with the respect deserved.
So, whether you have decided it is just time to get rid of something, or you are looking around for ways to raise cash, selling jewelry can be profitable. We invite you to visit our store and discover how much peace of mind you will have dealing with local professionals.
Our customers come to us to sell gold jewelry from Tampa, Seminole, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Largo, Pinellas Park, St Pete, Sun City, Bradenton, Sarasota, Port Richey, and throughout Pinellas County.
