What affects your gold offer
We explain the factors in plain language so you can make a confident decision.
Purity (karat)
Gold is evaluated by purity (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k). Higher purity generally means higher value per gram.
Weight
We weigh items as part of the evaluation. Total weight and purity work together to determine value.
Condition & type
Jewelry, scrap, and mixed pieces can be evaluated differently based on condition and composition.
Market factors
Offers reflect current market conditions and demand.
What to bring
- Government-issued ID (required)
- Any paperwork you have (optional)
