While gold in its purest form is extremely valuable, precious, and often quite expensive, not all gold is created equal. The majority of gold that most consumers have in their homes in the form of rings that celebrate graduations from high school or college, masonic rings, or fraternity rings is likely rated at 10k, .417, 417%. It is crucial to determine the value of the gold you have prior to selling it. That way, you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether you are interested in selling your excess gold jewelry.
Determining the Value of Your Gold Estate Jewelry for Cash
When you consider selling your gold jewelry for cash or payment via check, it can be very difficult to determine how much money you will receive for your gold from a local pawn shop, gold buyer, or jeweler. Do not worry, as the process is quite simple and easy. You might just be able to get in and out of a shop within a matter of minutes. General rules dictate, the heavier the gold and the higher the karat purity, the more value the jewelry may hold. Higher karat numbers indicate a higher percentage of that particular gold piece is pure gold. The most common gold composition is fourteen karats (14KT). This means the gold is 14 parts pure gold, or 58.5% pure. This percentage of pure gold is determined by dividing 14 by 24. 24K gold is the highest karat level available. The other ten components of the total 24K are mostly elements such as copper, zinc, palladium, silver, and nickel.
​
Just because a piece of gold jewelry looks attractive and is in impeccable condition does not necessarily mean how valuable that particular piece is. Whether it’s gold scrap or jewelry, the appearance of the gold piece is fundamentally less important than the quality of the gold, karat purity, weight in grams, pennyweights, troy ounces, and the current spot price of gold on that day. Additionally, if a piece of gold jewelry originated from a well-known brand that is considered luxury or premium, or there is the inclusion of diamonds in the piece, that can bring additional value at the time of selling.
​
We are always happy to provide our customers with a free, no-obligation appraisal for the gold jewelry you are interested in selling.
How Can I Get the Most Cash for My Gold or Gold and Diamond Jewelry From an Estate Jewelry Buyer?
At times, selling estate jewelry or through another channel to a local pawn shop or estate jewelry buyer may not be the ideal way to get the most amount of money for your pieces. We occasionally recommend selling gold jewelry or rings privately to a buyer online through reputable platforms such as eBay, Facebook, Etsy, or Poshmark. By doing so, a seller might make more money from the private transaction rather than from a pawn shop or local jeweler.
​
Commonly, jewelry best sold online includes pieces with smaller diamonds under a half-carat or finished jewelry with a carat weight composed entirely of tiny diamonds. For instance, this may consist of pieces with twenty diamonds equal to the equivalent of one carat. Most consumers do not consider resale value when purchasing jewelry. They purchase depending on attractiveness or style. When a marriage or relationship ends or when jewelry is updated during the course of a successful marriage, many times, customers will want to sell the old jewelry. When purchasing gold, an individual should aim to make their purchase based on purity and weight. For example, if a woman decided to buy a Cuban link for her significant other, obtaining a used, second-hand chain is a prudent and intelligent choice due to the reduced premium over the intrinsic value of the piece. Most customers pay very little attention to the intrinsic or resale value of the jewelry they purchase. It usually is just an afterthought. Quality jewelry, value jewelry, or discounted secondhand jewelry all make excellent options for someone considering a jewelry purchase. It may cost more to purchase a piece of quality jewelry, but the resale value is higher in terms of percentage. Gold plating, or jewelry that is considered “diamond carat total weight,” is generally pieces you should avoid.
How Do I Know When I Sell My Vintage Jewelry If It Is Real Gold?
Unfortunately, not all that glitters is genuine gold. You should be careful when selling vintage jewelry in determining if an item is authentic or not. Just because there is a stamp, that does not indicate an item is genuine gold. There are many types of jewelry that appear to be real gold, such as gold-filled jewelry, gold-plated jewelry, gold mixed with copper, gold stamped, and inflated karat genuine gold. While a particular piece of jewelry might appear to look expensive or high-end, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is made from pure or genuine gold. The first and most straightforward way to determine authenticity is to look for a small karat mark or manufacturer’s trademark which will be stamped on the interior of a clasp, inside a gold ring, on the end cap of a gold Figaro bracelet, or even a tiny mark on a gold diamond earring post. You will most likely see a stamped number of 18k, 14k, or 10k on your item. Also, numbers such as 750 417, 585, 916, 999, 375, or the term “gold plum” will also be visible. Jewelers & Loan Co. Quincy, MA often sees customers come in with stamped genuine gold on their personal jewelry, but we’ve also seen customers who had purchased gold chains or other types of jewelry from a friend or family member thinking that the item was authentic, when in reality the piece wasn’t made from true gold.
​
Of course, we will be more than happy to examine your gold jewelry or gold coins and determine their quality and authenticity A seemingly small amount of gold collecting dust in a forgotten jewelry box can add up very fast.
10k, 14k, 18k, and 24k Gold: What’s the Difference?
Simply put, 10k means ten-parts of pure gold or 41.7% pure. 10k/24k = 41.7%.14k means fourteen parts pure gold out of 24k. In other words,14k/24k is 58.5% pure. Most consumers will have a general idea of what type of gold they are dealing with when they are ready to sell their old ten karat graduation rings, corporate gold pins, or the 70s gold rope style chains that Mr. T used to wear along with everyone else in the 1950s until the early 2000s (And it is coming back in style again!).
Of course, we will be more than happy to examine your gold jewelry or gold coins and determine their quality and authenticity for you at our gold jewelry pawn shop in Quincy, MA. You can also shoot us a text message, email us a picture, or stop by during business hours. A seemingly small amount of gold collecting dust in a forgotten jewelry box can add up very fast.
​
If you have something 24k, then it is considered pure gold, which is the best quality of gold one can acquire. Chances are that this won’t be in the form of jewelry, as it is too soft to use in most jewelry items. This is typically found in India, China, Russia, Europe, and South America, where higher karats of gold used in jewelry production are more common. American jewelry that is made from gold is usually 10k 14k or 18k white or yellow gold.
​
Gold jewelry that is made from 18k is very high in gold content. The 18k means it is made with 75% pure gold, with the rest of the components being copper, zinc, palladium, and a little silver to help strengthen the piece. A simple rule of thumb to follow is the higher the karat of the gold, meaning 10k, 14k, 18k, 20k, 22k, and even 24k, and the heavier the piece of jewelry is, the more money you will receive when selling it.
​
Jewelry that is 10k gold is comprised of more metals than gold and comprises only 41.7% pure gold. Ten karat gold is common in gold class ring jewelry, gold chains, and gold earrings. These items also tend to be slightly darker than 14k or 18k jewelry.
What Do Different Stamps On My Gold Jewelry Mean?
If your gold jewelry has a 585 stamp on it, then it is likely 14k gold. This stamp comes from the simple equation 14k/24k= 0.585, which is where the stamp came from.
​
585 Stamp
If your gold jewelry features a 585 stamp on it, we’ll know that it is likely 14k gold. This 585 stamp comes from the simple equation 14k/24k= 0.585.
​
417 Stamp
When a piece of gold jewelry features a 417 stamp on it, it is likely a 10k piece of gold jewelry. This is due to 10k gold meaning it’s 41.7% pure.
​
750 Stamp
Gold jewelry with a 750 stamp on it is likely 18k gold, or 75% pure gold. You will probably notice these pieces are brighter yellow in color thanks to a large amount of pure gold in them.
​
375 Stamp
These stamps are relatively uncommon. That’s because gold pieces with a 375 stamp are typically only used on European jewelry items like Claddagh rings, Celtic crosses, and even pocket watches. Gold jewelry with a 375 stamp featured on it is likely 9K and tends to be extremely dark in color.
​
​
What Is Gold-Filled or Gold Overlay Jewelry?
Many consumers come to our store looking to sell gold jewelry pieces considered “gold-filled.” This is a very common way to craft jewelry today, and while it gives off the appearance of solid gold, it is not the same.
​
Gold-filled jewelry, also referred to as gold overlay, is manufactured using heat and pressure to apply a layer of karat gold to a base metal. This process creates an “overlay” of gold on top of the standard metal construction.
​
In order for a piece to qualify as a gold-filled piece, the karat gold in each item must equal at least 1/20 of the total weight of the item in question. Gold-filled pieces can also be 2/20 or 5/10 in composition. Gold-filled items usually carry a cash value as a specific portion of the piece is constructed from actual gold.
​
What Is Considered Gold Plated Jewelry?
Another type of jewelry, gold plated jewelry may appear to be made of solid gold, but it consists mostly of other lesser metals.
​
If your piece of jewelry is gold plated, a very thin layer of gold color or real gold is plated on top of a metal base material. The color will look similar to 14k gold, yet in most pieces, the plated is only about 1/1000 – 1/100000 of an inch.
​
Normally, you will see 14KGE or 18K GEP stamps on gold plated items. This type of jewelry holds little or no value.
​
​
Gold Plated vs. Gold Filled:
Is There a Difference?
Gold-filled jewelry has a significantly larger portion of pure gold in it, as compared to gold plated. Typically, gold filled jewelry will hold a more substantial cash value, slightly more than silver jewelry.

​
Here’s how our process works:
​
Step 1: Gather Gold Jewelry You Wish to Sell
​
We invite you to bring in gold jewelry you think could have value. Regardless of the type of piece, we offer cash for gold! If you aren’t sure, all you have to do is bring it in! Alternatively, you can send us a picture or request that we send a FedEx label straight to you.
​
Step 2: Evaluating and Separating Gold Jewelry
​
We invite you to come visit our gold specialists right here in our Quincy, MA location! Our professionals will go through your pieces and evaluate, appraise, and separate your gold jewelry by karat. This process will determine whether or not you have a 10k, 14k, or 18k piece of gold that you wish to sell, pawn, or borrow.
​
Step 3: Determining the Value of the Gold You Want to Sell
​
Once our team has evaluated your gold, we will look at the brand and craftsmanship of your pieces. In addition to determining the precious metal value, we also look to see if you’ve got luxury custom pieces or designer jewelry from world-class brands such as Rolex or David Yurman that could produce extra value for your gold items so you can get the most cash possible.
​
Step 4: Weighing Your Gold
​
We weigh every karat of gold on a certified sealed scale to ensure the utmost accuracy. By doing this, you’re aware of just how much gold you are selling (measured in pennyweights). After that, our buyers will check the current spot price of gold for a real-time update on the current price of gold.
​
Step 5: Getting a Cash Offer for Your Gold
​
Once we have multiplied the weight of the gold you bring in by the current market value, our team will provide you with an instant, no-obligation cash offer for your gold.

We Buy All Karat Purities
The one thing that sets ourshop apart is that we are always happy to accept any karat purities when we buy gold from our customers. Once you visit our store, one of our experienced gold brokers will walk you through our gold buying process and help you find out what type of karat purity your pieces are. We will even purchase 10k and sterling silver, which a lot of other stores will not accept.
What Gold Jewelry Do We Accept?
If you are unsure where you should sell your gold or are looking for an option to borrow cash in the short term (4-month borrow terms*)—we are here to assist you. The Jewelers & Loan Co. of Quincy, MA, proudly offers free, no-obligation gold jewelry appraisals for all of your gold items.
​
We are fully licensed and have several years of experience in the gold buying industry. Our gold brokers and gold buyers are at your disposal to help you answer any questions that you may have about your items, their value, and how the gold buying or borrowing process works.
We Buy Gold Chains and Necklaces
Gold chains and necklaces are the most common pieces we will see in our pawn shop. When our gold buyers inspect and assess gold chains and necklaces, they will examine first the overall karat purity of the piece to determine how much real gold it consists of.
​
The chain and pendant on a necklace might differ when it comes to karat purity, so our expert gold brokers will examine both items and then weigh them to figure out the final amount of gold in the overall piece.
​
After we consult the daily spot gold rate, we will furnish you with a cash offer immediately for your gold pieces.
​
​
How to Sell Your Gold Bracelets
Do you have several old gold bracelets lying at the bottom of your jewelry drawer? . When dealing with gold bracelets, we always start by looking at the karat purity and then weigh the piece to see how much gold. Then, as part of our process, we multiply that by the current gold rate in the market.
​
A wonderful thing about gold bracelets is depending on the style and thickness of the piece; the bracelets may weigh more than you think, which means more cash in your hand when selling them. As a general rule, the heavier your gold, the more cash you will receive.
Selling Gold Rings for Cash
Gold rings are some of the smallest pieces that clients want to trade in for cash, but they are also sometimes the heaviest too. There can be a great deal of gold content in rings, which is why they are so popular to both sell and pawn-loan.
​
With gold rings or any other piece of gold jewelry you wish to sell to us, we will fully consider the karat purity, weight of the piece, and the current value of gold in the market, before making a cash offer to you.
