Sell Scrap & Broken Jewelry Lots in Metro Detroit — Paid Today at Westland Exchange
The tangled bag in the back of the drawer is one of our favorite things to see. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, clasps, pins, dental gold, class rings, pieces with stones missing — we sort it by karat in front of you, weigh each group, and write one number. Nothing is too small or too ugly.

What decides what we pay for scrap & broken jewelry lots
- 1Total gram weight once sorted by karat
- 2Accurate karat testing on unmarked pieces — a lot of 'junk' tests out as real gold
- 3Any piece worth more intact than melted (we pull those out and tell you)
- 4Non-gold items separated and returned to you, not quietly kept
When you bring scrap & broken jewelry lots to our counter at 27842 W. Warren Ave in Westland, the first thing we do is establish exactly what it is. Nothing is quoted from across the room and nothing is quoted from a photograph. We work at the counter with you standing there, and we explain each step as we go — what we are testing, what the test told us, and what it means for the number we are about to write down.
The single biggest factor on scrap & broken jewelry lots is total gram weight once sorted by karat. After that comes accurate karat testing on unmarked pieces — a lot of 'junk' tests out as real gold, and at the far end of the list sits non-gold items separated and returned to you, not quietly kept — the part most sellers never hear about anywhere else, because most buyers would rather pay a flat rate and move you along. We would rather show our work, because customers who understand the offer come back, and this shop has run on repeat customers since 1987.
What scrap & broken jewelry lots typically weighs
Typical weights and sizes
A typical junk-drawer bag runs 20–80 grams of mixed 10K and 14K. We've seen bags that people nearly threw away test out at several thousand dollars.
A typical junk-drawer bag runs 20–80 grams of mixed 10K and 14K. We've seen bags that people nearly threw away test out at several thousand dollars. That range is why we ask you to bring everything rather than picking out the pieces you assume are best. The item that looks least impressive in the drawer is frequently the one carrying the most value, and sorting it out costs you nothing.
How to spot it
Where to look for the marks
You don't need to sort or identify anything before you come in — that's our job, and we do it at the counter while you watch.
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)
There is never any obligation. We will test scrap & broken jewelry lots, tell you the number, and hand it straight back if you would rather think about it, shop the offer around, or keep it. Plenty of people do exactly that and come back a week later — that is completely fine, and you will get the same welcome the second time.
Sell it outright
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.
We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, with free parking right at the door and no appointment needed. If you would like a sense of the number before you drive over, call (734) 425-0450 and describe what you have, or send photos through the quote form and we will come back to you the same day.
Or pawn it and keep it
If you would rather not part with it permanently, a pawn loan on scrap & broken jewelry lots gives you cash today while the item stays tagged and insured in our vault. No credit check, nothing reported to any bureau, and the item comes back the moment the loan is repaid. We will lay out both numbers — the outright offer and the loan amount — and let you choose.

No. Bring it all in one bag. We sort, test and weigh by karat in front of you and explain each group.
What if some of it turns out not to be gold?+
We hand it straight back and tell you what it actually is. We never quietly keep costume pieces.
