Tips to Get the Highest Price for Your Jewelry
Understand the Importance of Accurate Weights
The weight of your gold jewelry plays a crucial role in its valuation. Unlike typical scales, the precious metals market uses a standard known as the Troy ounce, equivalent to 31.1 grams—compared to the standard 28 grams per ounce. Some buyers may weigh your jewelry in pennyweights (dwt) but convert to grams when paying, potentially reducing your payment. At Austin Coins & Jewelry, we ensure full transparency in our weighing process, guaranteeing a fair evaluation every time
Know the Value of Your Gold’s Karat
Gold is often alloyed with other metals for added durability, resulting in different karat values. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that all jewelry in the U.S. be accurately labeled with its karat rating. For example, 14-karat gold is 14 parts gold to 10 parts other metals. Higher karats indicate purer gold, which increases the jewelry’s worth. Understanding your jewelry’s karat value will empower you to make an informed decision
Separate Different Karat Pieces for an Accurate Valuation
To receive the maximum value for your jewelry, separate pieces by karat before the evaluation. Some buyers may weigh all jewelry together and pay based on the lowest karat value. By separating each piece, you ensure a precise and fair valuation for every item.
Want to Retain the Stones in Your Jewelry?
At Austin Coins & Jewelry, your preferences come first. If you’d like to keep the stones in your jewelry but sell the metal, we can assist. After a required holding period, we’ll carefully remove and return your gemstones to you at no extra cost. This way, you retain sentimental elements while capitalizing on the value of your gold or silver.
