I have thrown all my broken jewelry into a bag and decided to sell it.

We've done a lot of investigating as to how best to proceed.

First question you want to ask is: What % of the spot price of gold are you paying? (You must then decide what %age gold you are selling: 14K, 24K, etc)

Most mail in companies pay around 25 to 40 percent. (QVC pays less than 30%. At least that is what was reported online. They did not answer my email asking them this question).

By eliminating the middle man (jeweler, QVC, etc. ) and going to a local "Metal refiner" you can get up to 92%. It pays to shop around. Check your Yellow pages.
