Who Buys Gold Filled Jewelry?

Recycle and Refine GoldHow to ScrapRecycling and Refining
Written By Barry Lenson

Recently, a man wanted to sell some old gold filled jewelry that he had inherited from an elderly aunt. There were actually quite a few items - a bracelet, a few old rings, a necklace with a pendant attached, a small decorative pin, and a few other items. So the man put all those items in a Manila envelope, got in his car, and drove to a store that displayed the sign, “We Buy Gold.”

But when he went into the store and emptied the contents of his envelope on the counter for a salesman to review, his optimistic mood changed.

“All this stuff is just older gold filled and gold plated costume jewelry,” the salesman said. “It's not worth refining.”

“But doesn't it contain gold anyway?” the customer asked. “Can’t you refine it and pay me for the value of the gold it contains? It’s got to be worth something!”

“No,” the salesman said, “as I just told you, there is not enough gold here to bother with. Have you got a daughter or some nieces? I suggest you just give it to them. Have a nice day.”

So the man went home, found Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners online, and called us up. After he explained his situation to us, we suggested that he fold up that Manila envelope, pack it up in an Express Mail mailer, and send it to us to be tested. And do you know what? We were able to simply extract the gold that was contained in his mixed bag of items and send him prompt payment for $75 for the gold they contained.

Now, you might be asking, isn't that a really small amount of money for a mixed bag of items? Well, that would be one way to look at it. But the other way to look at it is that the man had two choices. He could either send it to us and receive payment for $75 or put that Manila envelope in his dresser drawer and forget about it, never getting the value in cash for the gold that the jewelry contained.

Your Better Option for Gold-Filled Jewelry

Why were we able to extract the gold from those gold-filled items and pay the customer the full value of the gold they contained, at current trading prices?

There is a simple answer to that question! It is that we have the equipment, knowledge and expertise to extract the small quantities of gold that gold-filled items of jewelry contain, and to pay our customers promptly their worth at current trading prices.

Your local “We Buy Gold” store doesn't have the equipment and knowledge to do it. Neither does your local jewelry store. And - this is for certain - a pawnshop doesn't have the interest or expertise to do it for you either.
