Gold Jewelry
Gold jewelry holds real value - both for its precious-metal content and, for finer and signed pieces, well beyond melt. Austin Auction Gallery sells and appraises gold jewelry.
What it's worth
Plain gold pieces bring close to their metal value (rising with karat and weight), while designer, antique, and gem-set gold jewelry brings well beyond melt. Karat, weight, maker, and gemstones drive value.

Overview & history
Gold jewelry - in 14K, 18K, and higher karats - ranges from chains and everyday pieces valued near their gold weight to designer, antique, and gem-set jewelry worth far more. At auction, fine and signed gold pieces often exceed what a cash-for-gold buyer would pay, since they reach collectors and the trade rather than the refiner. Value depends on karat and weight, the maker, design, gemstones, and condition.
