How to Get the Best Price for Your Gold at a Pawn Shop

Have cracked or unwanted gold sitting in a drawer? Selling it is one of the fastest ways to raise cash. But whether you pawn it for a loan or sell it outright, a few things will help you walk away with the most money.

Understand the Basics

Gold's value is set by the current market price and its purity. Pure gold is 24 karat; the most common jewelry is 10K (.417) and 14K (.585). Check your piece for a karat stamp — and if there's no stamp, bring it in for a free appraisal.

The higher the karat and the heavier the piece, the more it's worth. Our appraisers run quick tests to confirm karat and weight in front of you. Want a number before you leave home? Our Gold Estimator pulls the live spot price and calculates your melt value and estimated cash offer instantly.

What Holds the Most Value

Resalable pieces command more than scrap. Jewelry with natural stones — diamonds, sapphires — earns extra for the stones. Gold coins are typically 22–24K and get you closest to spot price, sometimes more if they carry collector value. Broken chains and single earrings still count: gold is gold.
