Selling Gold Jewelry

pachutabelle — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:23:02 GMT

I wanted to be sure that I thanked those that have posted on selling their gold and silver jewelry. I never would have thought of doing it and that it would be so easy to do. The offer I received yesterday was amazing to me. I really thought that I had sent a lot of junk along with very little of value. I opted for a check instead of direct deposit or PayPal so ill be waiting for a couple of days more. Once again, Thanks!

oh oh! @pachutabelle Hi.

I assumed you were referring to a prior thread of yours here, but I couldnt find it.

I have oodles & oodles of Jewelry. This includes some former, vintage, super gorgeous, super sparkling QVC Diamonique, esp rings), that now I've considered selling. At that time, QVC seemed more routinely to set in 10K, some 14K settings, (not overlay), & I'd bought those. Many of mine, hardly worn, if at all!

I considered them an investment, esp in the metals. And, assumed gals later in my life would want, take well care of them, but for a variety of reasons hasnt happened.

I'd welcome any of the info you, or others, have learned about this selling gold jewelry.

Thanks in Advance, @pachutabelle

@mare54 I used Express Gold Cash. They are in New York. I asked for their kit online. They sent detailed instructions and prepaid express envelopes for both FedEx and USPS. Both trackable. They emailed me an offer within 24 hours of receiving my envelope. Now another 24 hours and I have received an email that the check is on the way. So I won't be completely satisfied until the check is in the bank and has cleared but it was an easy process. The hardest part was sorting through old jewelry, not sure what was real gold or silver.

I sold the majority of my gold back when gold was a record high of$1200 an oz--I went to a local jeweler and got paid cash immediately. Did that a couple times. Made a good amount of $$ back. I still have a handful of gold things--not enough for much cash tho. And I haven't bought gold in decades either.

I also went to my local jeweler. Option given to me was one amount for cash and another to purchase more jewelery. Honestly, depending on what they had I have done both. If there were items I was interested in I just couldn't miss out.

@wagirl : Gold is over $3600 oz today. I have a lot of 14, 18k and pure gold ( most purchased overseas 40 + yrs ago). I'm giving one son a 2 baht chain this Christmas ( eventually he'll have three chains so his 2 sons each also have one. The rest of my stash will stay stored for now; if we need some real cash I may eventually sell some but most will be willed to my other son.

I actually have much more jewelry than I can ever wear, since I have been collecting for decades. I cannot tell you about all the GREAT gold bargains I used to get at the QVC outlets--gifts for all the women in my family. Those were the days.

Some things that I liked when I was younger I wanted to upgrade.

I used to buy a lot of silver and 10 karat gold, but I have now gotten rid of most of that, just because it was sitting around collecting dust.

In Philly I recommend Eric at 8th Street Gold & Diamond Buyers--very honest and fair, and measures by weight, unless there are special specifc items. They pay in cash.

If you live near Chicago try SellBrandedJewelry dot com with Mike J. He will pay cash in person or by Zelle.

You can read many five star reviews about both places.

Yes, gold has skyrocketed in price!

Sadly, I still cannot resist shopping for lovely pieces that catch my eye, but no more impulse purchases!

@pachutabelle

Do you recall what they paid you per gram?

Re: Selling Gold Jewelry

shoekitty — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 01:47:08 GMT

I have many, I mean many pieces of gold jewelry from QVC. Almost all the jewelry, except a few costume jewelry lines was 10k and 14k. I have looked for solid gold rings on Q recently. There are maybem15 pieces, and a few rings. I woukd buy a gemstone ring set in gold even now. I woukd not buy any rings in plated. Etc. I wish they gave us a choice. Back in the day they did give us a choice even when gold was high they had high pieces selling for thousands!!! They sold. Some sold out. I wish they gave us a choice

@rockygems123 They did not say but I believe you could ask them. They make an offer and you can accept or not. If you refuse the offer they will send items back. Shipments are insured.

@pachutabelle and all that spoke so highly about selling gold and jewelry to Express Gold Cash! I finally got thru my jewelry and sorted it out, called for the kit and then packed it up and sent it. Within a day, no more than two, I had a message telling me the value they would pay for it. OMiGOS it was more than I had thought it would it would be. I replied acceptance and with an hour or two I had it in our account!

THANK YOU!!! Without the post here I would have either not done anything or driven to a local jeweler. Great info!

I would like to know the price per gram since that is how it is priced when sold to you.

You should go to a site in person that buys gold. They can check it in person. If you AI some of these on line gold buyers they can lie about weights and many people have been short changed. Also many complaints about not returning the gold in a timely fashion if you don't accept their offer. You also need to insure everything and since gold is now over $4000.00 an ounce more scammers out than ever. I know many people who work in the industry with all sorts of stories. Even a local post office was caught with someone working there that was stealing the contents of packages.

So my advice is sell locally. Stay away from pawn shops and try and find well reviewed in person businesses that buy gold in person. They can weigh it for you in person. Also remember if you are selling name brand jewelry like Cartier, Tiffany's, Roberto Coin, David Yurman, etc. they command premium prices above spot gold prices @Beammeupscotty .

Sold a lot of my QVC stuff and it helped pay my house taxes.

We have a local jewelry and coin dealer that buys gold. I only took broken pieces and a few single earrings, my high school ring, one gold chain and a few rings from QVC. I got way more than I thought. But it was local, and walked out with a check. I specially asked about my high school ring, I got $248, I paid $32 for it in 1976. I thought they were 14k, but they were 10k, never knew that. Nothing I took had any sentimental value.

We recently sold some of our gold and silver jewelry to a GIA person that lives in the same area as we do. Very surprised by how this all works. Her "cut" is smaller than those you might see advertised on TV, advertised in your local paper or in the mail. We took the money. No pressure from her at all. She also priced out other pieces but we are going to hold those until next year. If you want to go on a trip, pay some bills, or have some play money I strongly encourage you to find someone locally.
