Karat Purities for Cash for Gold

Customers can bring in or mail in gold jewelry for evaluation and quotation. We determine karat purity, weight, and current spot price to determine the cash value of gold. We accept items in person by walk-ins, via mail-in (USPS or UPS), or by private appointments for high-value transactions.

While pure gold is valuable, not all gold is created equally. Most gold jewelry at home, such as high school rings or fraternity rings, is likely 10k (41.7% pure) or 14k (58.3% pure). Before selling, it's important to understand your gold's value to make an informed decision.

Today's Spot Gold Price

Gold prices fluctuate daily, influenced by market trading. The spot price is the foundation for cash offers made by jewelers, pawn shops, and gold buyers worldwide. To get the best value for your jewelry, always check the spot price of gold, silver, and platinum before selling.

Determining the Value of Your Gold

Determining the value of gold jewelry is simple and straightforward as long as you know the karat purity and can measure the weight. The heavier the gold and the higher the karat purity, the more valuable it is. The most common gold purity is 14k (58.5% pure). Luxury brand products or jewelry pieces with genuine diamonds or certified gemstones may possess additional value.

We offer free gold jewelry evaluation at our shop in Boston, MA, and provide price estimates over text for extra convenience. For large quantities of jewelry, precious metals, or diamonds, we recommend scheduling an appointment before your visit.

How to Maximize Cash for Your Gold

Sometimes, selling your gold jewelry privately on platforms like eBay, Facebook, or Etsy can yield higher returns than selling to a local jeweler. Most individual jewelry buyers focus on attractiveness or style rather than the spot price of precious metal or resale value. When purchasing gold, focus on purity and weight, as high-purity jewelry holds higher resale value. Avoid gold-plated, gold-filled, or "diamond carat total weight" items, as they often lack significant resale value.

Determining Real Gold

Not all that glitter is gold! Gold-filled or gold-plated jewelry may appear genuine but have little value. Authentic gold usually has a stamp indicating karat purity, such as 10k, 14k, or 18k (or 417, 585, 750). However, it is not uncommon for scam artists to stamp karat impressions on fake pieces.

We can help determine the authenticity of your gold jewelry or coins, and we do it for free! There’s no obligation to sell. A small amount of forgotten gold can add up quickly to a surprisingly high cash offer!

How to Maximize Cash for Your Gold

Type Composition Description
24K Pure Gold 99.9% Gold Pure gold, soft and highly malleable, with a bright yellow color. Rarely used in jewelry due to its softness.
Yellow Gold Gold, copper, silver, zinc Maintains a classic yellow hue while offering greater durability. Most common in 14K and 18K for jewelry.
White Gold Gold, nickel or palladium, copper, zinc Has a whitish sheen due to nickel or palladium, often rhodium-plated for extra brightness.
Rose Gold Gold, copper (higher amount of copper than yellow gold) A pinkish hue achieved by increasing copper content. Popular for vintage and romantic jewelry styles.
Green Gold Gold, silver (increased silver content) Has a subtle green tint, achieved by raising silver content. Less common but prized for its unique appearance.

In jewelry, gold alloys offer diverse colors and strengths by varying the types and proportions of other metals mixed with pure gold. This flexibility allows jewelers to create pieces that suit different styles and preferences.

Pure gold, known as 24K gold, is naturally soft, malleable, and has a rich yellow color. However, because of its softness, it’s rarely used in its pure form for jewelry, which requires greater durability. To strengthen and modify the color of gold, other metals like copper, silver, nickel, and zinc are added, creating what is known as gold alloy. By adjusting the proportions of these metals, jewelers can achieve a range of colors: yellow, rose, green, and white. For instance, adding more copper gives gold a pink or rose hue, while an increase in silver can create a greenish tone. White gold is often achieved with nickel or palladium, creating a more durable, pale-colored alloy.

Gold-Filled vs. Gold-Plated Jewelry

Gold-filled jewelry has more gold than gold-plated, which is merely a thin layer of gold over another metal. Still, such pieces are not real gold, and most jewelry stores, including Deal Zone, do not buy or sell them.

We Buy All Types of Gold Jewelry

We accept all types of gold jewelry: gold bracelets, chains, rings, earrings, pendants, or even gold coins & bullion. Men’s jewelry, gold charms, and gold watch jewelry are welcome. We also buy scrap gold, sterling silver, and broken jewelry.
