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.
Identifying & Marks
Check the karat mark (14K, 18K, 750, 585) and weigh the piece for its gold content; maker's marks, gemstones, and craftsmanship add value above melt. Our specialists assess both metal value and collector value.
