How To Get The Most Cash For Your Gold Jewelry

You can send your gold jewelry off to a mail-order refiner, but you should consider other options for jewelry, particularly jewelry with gemstones or diamonds. Many of the mail order gold refiners purchase second hand jewelry for refining - not for reselling.  Prices are based ONLY on the weight and karat grade contained in the jewelry. They generally do not pay for gemstones other than small diamonds. If your jewelry contains gemstones or larger diamonds, you may make more money by taking it to a jewelry store or pawn shop.

A pawn shop or jewelry may determine the value of your jewelry based on it's value as a piece of jewelry for resale, while places like Cash4Gold melt down your gold and sells the gold itself. It doesn't matter what your gold looks like.

If you are still not sure if you want to make money from your gold jewelry, you can visit the cash4gold website, and check out their terms and policy pages. You must be at least 21 years old to sell your gold to cash4gold.com.

Check your local phone book for pawn shops or jewelers that advertise "We buy gold jewelry," and you may very well get more money for your unused gold jewelry.
