How gold jewelry is priced
Gold jewelry is priced on the pure gold it holds. We find the karat, weigh the gold, and multiply by today's spot price to get melt value. Signed designer pieces can be worth more as jewelry, and we tell you when that is the case.

12 grams × 58.3% gold × today's price per gram = call for today's value melt value
Example only. Your pieces are tested and weighed at the table.
What can raise or lower the price
- Higher karat jewelry holds more gold per gram, so 18K pays more than 10K.
- Signed pieces from known makers can be worth more than their gold.
- Stones, springs and other non-gold parts are weighed out.
- Gold-filled and plated pieces, stamped GF or RGP, hold very little gold.

What happens at your appointment
Selling gold jewelry in San Diego
San Diego sellers have plenty of choices: pawn shops along El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue, jewelry stores at Fashion Valley and UTC that offer trade-in credit, mail-in buyers, and traveling buying events at hotels near Mission Valley. Each one works, but few show you the test, the weight and the math before they make an offer.
An appointment changes that. You sit at a private table, we sort the pieces with you, and we explain what each one is before we talk numbers. Broken chains, single earrings, outdated rings and pieces you stopped wearing years ago all count.
Many of the jewelry boxes we see come from long-time San Diego families in La Jolla, Point Loma and the North County coast. Some hold 18K pieces bought decades ago and signed items worth a closer look. We point those out so nothing worth more as jewelry is sold for melt.

Questions about selling gold jewelry
Do you buy broken gold jewelry?
Yes. Broken, tangled and single pieces are priced by their gold content, the same as whole pieces.
Will you pay more for designer jewelry?
When a signed piece is worth more as jewelry than as metal, we tell you and price it that way.
Do I need to remove the stones?
No. Leave everything as it is. We weigh out stones and non-gold parts when we price the gold.
