FAQs

How do I get the best price for gold or silver?
Keep items together with any assay cards, weigh everything, and bring all karats/pieces—larger lots often earn better pricing.

Do you buy broken jewelry or single earrings?
Yes. Value is based on metal weight/purity and any diamond/gem value.

Yes. Papers help value, but we buy with or without. Original parts and servicing history can add value.
