Don’t Throw That Away! The Value of “Junk” Gold

We see it all the time: a customer comes in with a nice ring, and casually mentions they threw away a “bunch of broken stuff” because they thought it was garbage.

Please, never throw away broken jewelry!

To a gold buyer, there is no such thing as “junk” gold. Whether a gold chain is brand new and shiny, or tangled into a knot and snapped in three places, the metal itself has the exact same value.

What Qualifies as “Scrap Gold”?

“Scrap gold” is the industry term for any gold item that is bought strictly for its metal weight to be melted down. This includes:

• Broken Clasps: Necklaces or bracelets that can’t be worn.

• Mismatched Earrings: If you lost one, bring the other!

• Bent Rings: Rings that have been crushed or damaged.

• Dental Gold: Old bridges or crowns (yes, really).

• Outdated Styles: That herringbone chain from the 80s that you’ll never wear again.

It’s Not About the Look, It’s About the Weight

When you bring scrap gold to Diamond Ridge Pawn, we aren’t looking at the fashion. We are looking at the scale.

We sort your items by Karat (10k, 14k, 18k), weigh them on our certified scales, and calculate a payout based on the daily global gold price. It is the fairest, most transparent way to sell.
