Sell White Gold Jewelry in Metro Detroit — Paid Today at Westland Exchange

White gold is the same gold, alloyed with white metals and plated in rhodium. When the rhodium wears off and the piece goes yellow-gray at the back, people assume it's fake — it isn't. We test it, and 14K white gold pays exactly the same per gram as 14K yellow.

What decides what we pay for white gold jewelry

  1. 1Gram weight and karat, identical treatment to yellow gold
  2. 2Diamonds, which are extremely common in white gold settings
  3. 3Whether the piece is worth refinishing and reselling
  4. 4Palladium-alloyed white gold, which is slightly different but still paid on gold content

When you bring white gold jewelry 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 white gold jewelry is gram weight and karat, identical treatment to yellow gold. After that comes diamonds, which are extremely common in white gold settings, and at the far end of the list sits palladium-alloyed white gold, which is slightly different but still paid on gold content — 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 white gold jewelry typically weighs

Typical weights and sizes

White gold engagement mountings usually run 2–5 grams; white gold link bracelets and watches can be far heavier.

White gold engagement mountings usually run 2–5 grams; white gold link bracelets and watches can be far heavier. 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

14K, 18K, 585, 750 — the stamp doesn't distinguish white from yellow. Pieces marked WG are white gold; those marked 'silver' or 925 are not gold at all.

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 white gold jewelry, 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 white gold jewelry 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.

FAQ

White Gold Jewelry questions, answered.

My white gold turned yellow. Is it still real?+

Yes. That's the rhodium plating wearing off and exposing the natural alloy underneath. The gold content is unchanged and we pay full value.

Is white gold worth less than yellow gold?+

No. Per gram at the same karat, they're worth the same to us.

How do I tell white gold from silver or platinum?+

The stamp is the fastest clue — 585 or 750 is gold, 925 is sterling silver, 950 or PLAT is platinum. We'll test it for free either way.
