What we look at when buying scrap gold

  • Karat stamp (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K) verified by acid or XRF test
  • Actual weight on a certified scale (grams / pennyweight)
  • Whether stones, clasps or non-gold parts need to be deducted
  • Condition only matters for resale-quality pieces — scrap is paid on weight

What affects your offer

  • Today's gold market (our board is refreshed daily)
  • Purity / karat
  • Total gold weight after deductions
  • Whether the piece is resellable (designer or vintage pieces earn a premium over melt)

Brands & types we see most

  • Broken chains
  • Single earrings
  • Bent rings
  • Old settings

What to bring

  • Valid state ID (required by Michigan law)
  • All the gold you have — broken, tangled, single earrings, dental gold all count
  • Any receipts, appraisals or original boxes if you have them (helpful, not required)
We pay a set dollar amount per gram based on karat — see our price board for today's per-gram numbers. Resellable pieces get quoted above melt.

Sell vs. pawn your scrap gold

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.

More specific than this

Exactly what kind of scrap gold do you have?

Each of these has its own page with what we check, what it typically weighs and what it's worth.

FAQ

Scrap Gold questions, answered.

How much do you pay for scrap gold?+

It depends on today's gold market (our board is refreshed daily) and purity / karat. Bring it to our Westland counter and we'll give you a written cash offer in minutes — no obligation.

Can I pawn scrap gold instead of selling?+

Yes. We write pawn loans on scrap gold every day. You get cash today and your item back when you repay, under Michigan-regulated terms.

Do you test gold in front of me?+

Yes. We test and weigh everything at the counter while you watch, and we explain the math.

What if my gold isn't stamped?+

No problem — we acid test and XRF test unstamped pieces and pay on the actual purity.

Do you buy broken or damaged gold?+

Absolutely. Scrap gold is paid on weight and karat, so broken chains, single earrings and bent rings are worth the same per gram as intact ones.
