What We Purchase

Gold Items We Buy

We purchase virtually every form of gold. If it contains gold, we want to make you an offer. Here are the most common gold items we buy in Austin.

Gold Jewelry

Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, brooches, and all forms of gold jewelry in any karat. Whether it is a vintage heirloom or a modern designer piece, we buy it all at competitive market-based prices.

Gold Coins

American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, Mexican Pesos, and other gold bullion coins. We evaluate both the gold content and any numismatic premium your coins may carry.

Broken Gold

Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, tangled necklaces, and damaged gold pieces all have value. The gold itself retains its worth regardless of the condition of the jewelry. Do not throw it away—sell it to us.

Dental Gold

Gold crowns, bridges, inlays, and other dental gold are valuable sources of precious metal. Dental gold is typically a high-karat alloy, and we pay fair prices based on its tested gold content and weight.

Gold Watches

Solid gold and gold-filled watches from any brand. For luxury brands like Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe, we evaluate both the gold content and the collector value of the timepiece to give you the best possible offer.

Gold Bars & Bullion

Gold bars of any size from major refiners including PAMP Suisse, Credit Suisse, Valcambi, Perth Mint, and others. We offer competitive prices based on current spot gold pricing for certified gold bullion.

Understanding Gold Value

How Gold Is Valued

The value of your gold depends on three key factors: karat purity, weight, and the current market price. Here is a breakdown of how different karat levels translate to gold content.

24 Karat Gold Pure gold (99.9%), commonly found in gold bars, bullion coins, and some Asian jewelry
99.9% Pure
22 Karat Gold 91.7% gold content, used in many gold coins and traditional jewelry
91.7% Pure
18 Karat Gold 75% gold content, popular in high-end jewelry and luxury watches
75.0% Pure
14 Karat Gold 58.3% gold content, the most common karat in American jewelry
58.3% Pure
10 Karat Gold 41.7% gold content, the minimum karat to be legally sold as gold in the U.S.
41.7% Pure

Your offer comes down to three things:

  • Purity — higher karat means more pure gold per gram, and a higher price.
  • Weight — measured precisely on a calibrated digital scale.
  • Live spot price — the real-time market rate, referenced the moment we value your gold.

Even 10-karat gold has real value—it’s well worth selling rather than leaving unused in a drawer.

We also look beyond melt weight. Designer pieces, antique jewelry, and collectible coins can carry premiums above raw gold content, so we evaluate every item holistically—not just at a scrap price.

Common Questions

Gold Selling FAQ

We test the karat purity of your gold using professional-grade electronic and acid testing methods, then weigh it precisely on a calibrated digital scale. The value is calculated based on the current live gold spot price, the weight in grams, and the karat purity. We perform the entire process in front of you so you can see exactly how your offer is determined. There is never a charge for this evaluation.
No appointment is necessary for individual items or small collections. Walk-ins are welcome during our regular business hours: Tuesday through Thursday from 11am to 4pm and Friday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm. If you have a large collection, an estate lot, or a significant quantity of gold, we recommend calling ahead at (512) 206-4156 to schedule a dedicated appointment so we can give your items the time and attention they deserve.
We offer immediate payment via cash, business check, or wire transfer. For most everyday gold transactions, cash or check payment is provided on the spot. For larger purchases that exceed certain dollar thresholds, wire transfers are the most convenient and secure option. You will never have to wait days or weeks to receive your money.
Absolutely. Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, tangled necklaces, scratched pieces, and gold in any condition still contains valuable precious metal. We buy gold based on its weight and karat purity, not its cosmetic appearance or wearability. Many of our customers are surprised by how much their damaged gold is worth. Do not discard old or broken gold—bring it in and let us give you a free valuation.
Texas law requires a valid government-issued photo ID for all precious metal transactions. A driver’s license, state-issued identification card, military ID, or passport will satisfy this requirement. This regulation is in place to protect both buyers and sellers and ensure the integrity and traceability of all precious metal transactions in the state.
