● Diamonds and gemstones
● Estate and antique jewelry
● Platinum and sterling silver

More Than Just the Gold Weight:

Jewelry can sometimes be worth more than its metal content alone.

Before considering scrap value, we look at the entire piece, including its diamonds and gemstones, maker or designer, condition, craftsmanship, vintage or estate character, and potential resale value.

A piece that appears to be simple gold may turn out to be signed jewelry, a collectible watch, or contain a gemstone with meaningful value.

We take the time to look carefully, because you should understand what you have before deciding what to do with it.

Know What You Have Before You Decide:

You are welcome to bring inherited jewelry, mixed collections, broken pieces, loose stones, watches, or items you simply cannot identify.

We will examine your items, explain what we are evaluating, and answer your questions clearly.

Some clients come in ready to sell. Others simply want to understand what they own first.

Both are welcome.

Our Evaluation Process:

Every evaluation considers the factors that may contribute to the value of your jewelry, including:

● Metal purity and weight
● Diamond and gemstone characteristics
● Condition and craftsmanship
● Maker, designer, or brand
● Estate, vintage, or collector interest
● Potential resale value
● Current precious-metal market conditions

We explain the process as we go so you can make an informed decision. If you decide not to sell, there is no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment?

No appointment is needed. Walk-ins are welcome, and an experienced, licensed, bonded and insured buyer is always on staff to evaluate your items.

How and when will I be paid?

Payment is made immediately upon purchase, by cash, check, or another payment method arranged with you.

What identification do I need?

Sellers must be 18 or older and present a state-issued ID.

Are evaluations in person or by mail?

We evaluate items in person at our Chesapeake store, rather than by mail.

How do you test my gold?

We use an electronic testing device to verify gold purity and karat fineness without scratching or damaging your items.

How long does an evaluation take?

An evaluation is usually quick and straightforward. We check your item’s weight, gold purity and the piece itself, typically in just a few minutes.

Do you buy bullion bars and coins?

Yes. We buy both bullion bars and coins.

Can an existing appraisal affect your offer?

Yes. Please bring any existing appraisal or supporting paperwork. We consider these documents when evaluating your items and making a purchase offer.

How much will I get if I sell my gold?

Your offer depends on purity, weight and current gold market pricing, plus any additional jewelry value. We evaluate and weigh your pieces in front of you and explain our offer. For example, 10K gold is approximately 41.7% pure gold, while 18K is 75%, so pieces of equal weight can have different gold values. Diamonds, gemstones, designer signatures, condition and resale potential may also contribute to your offer.

What is the best way to sell gold?

Choose an experienced buyer who explains the evaluation and answers your questions. Bring your pieces to our Chesapeake store for an in-person evaluation. We examine your jewelry with a jeweler’s loupe, test its purity without scratching or damaging it, and weigh it before making an offer. There is no pressure to sell.

What is one ounce of gold worth?

Gold prices change throughout the day, so we use current market pricing when you visit. The spot price refers to one troy ounce of pure gold, approximately 31.1 grams. Jewelry of a lower karat contains less pure gold: one troy ounce of 10K jewelry contains approximately 0.417 troy ounces of pure gold. Spot pricing is a market reference, not a guaranteed purchase offer. We’ll explain what your pieces contain and what we can offer that day.

How should I compare gold buyers?

Look for clear explanations of purity, weight, pricing and any value beyond the metal. Each of our gold-buying experts has at least 15 years of hands-on buying experience. We consider gemstones, recognizable makers, condition and resale potential alongside gold content, and explain how we arrive at your offer.

Can I sell broken or inherited jewelry?

Yes. We welcome broken pieces, inherited jewelry and mixed collections, including items you cannot identify. We’ll examine what you bring and explain the factors that may contribute to its value.

Do I have to accept your offer?

No. Your evaluation is complimentary, and there is no obligation to sell. You are welcome to visit simply to understand what you own before deciding.
