Sell Herringbone Chains in Berkley, MI — Top Cash Paid at Westland Exchange

Herringbone is the flat, liquid-looking chain that lies smooth against the skin — beautiful, and notorious for kinking permanently. A kinked herringbone can't really be repaired, which is exactly why so many end up sold for their gold. We pay full weight for them, kinks and all.

Berkley sits about 22 miles from our counter — roughly 30 minutes door to door. Take I-696 west to M-39 south, exit Warren Ave, then west. If you are starting near Downtown Berkley and 12 Mile corridor, it is a straight, easy run with no downtown traffic to fight.

Berkley is a half-hour drive and worth it for gold, coin collections and estate jewelry.

Selling herringbone chains here rather than shipping it away means you see the scale, you see the test, and you leave with cash in hand instead of waiting on a mailed check from an out-of-state refiner. Berkley customers do this every week, and most of them tell us the drive was shorter than they expected.

We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Bring a valid photo ID — Michigan law requires it for any pawn or purchase — along with the herringbone chains itself, and the whole visit usually takes a few minutes.

Sell vs. pawn your herringbone chains

Sell outright for the highest cash amount today, or pawn it and get it back — pawn loans on gold are the easiest loans we write because the value is objective and the item stores in our vault.

FAQ

Selling herringbone chains in Berkley — answered.

My herringbone chain is kinked — is it worthless?+

Not at all. Kinks affect whether we can resell it intact, but the gold content is unchanged and that's what we pay on.

Can a kinked herringbone be fixed?+

Honestly, rarely to a satisfying result — the links stretch permanently. That's why selling or pawning it for the gold usually makes more sense than repair.
