Acid and electronic testing at the counter, plus XRF for anything unmarked. You watch every step. Nothing leaves your sight.

Learn what we pay →Selling gold should be boring
A lot of people walk in nervous. They have never sold gold before, they do not know what they have, and they have heard the stories about 47th Street.
Fair enough. So we built the whole process around removing the parts that make people nervous: the back room, the vague number, the pressure to decide right now. Everything happens on the counter with the scale facing you, and you are welcome to walk out with your gold at any point.
- Every test done in front of you — no back rooms, ever
- Acid, electronic and XRF testing, so unmarked pieces get paid what they actually are
- Offers built off the live spot price, not a printed sheet from last quarter
- The math shown to you: spot × purity × weight × payout rate
- Cash, check or bank wire — same day, your choice
- No fees, no commissions, no hidden deductions
- Plated and filled items identified and handed back, not quietly bought as scrap
- Walk-ins welcome, no appointment required
How much gold is actually in your jewelry
Karat is a purity fraction out of 24. That fraction, not the stamp on the clasp, is what your payout is built from.
| Stamp | Purity | Gold content | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 | 99.9% | Bullion, bars, Asian jewelry |
| 22K | 916 | 91.6% | Indian & Middle Eastern jewelry, coins |
| 18K | 750 | 75.0% | Designer and European jewelry |
| 14K | 585 | 58.5% | The US standard for most jewelry |
| 10K | 417 | 41.7% | Class rings, budget chains |
| 9K | 375 | 37.5% | British and Australian pieces |
Stones, clasps and solder are deducted before weighing. Unmarked pieces are XRF-tested to confirm purity before any offer is made. Anything stamped GP, GF, HGE, RGP or vermeil is plated and carries no recoverable gold value — we will tell you that for free.
You are one block from where gold actually gets refined
The Diamond District moves an enormous share of the country's precious metals. Buyers here are one step from the refinery instead of five steps down a chain of mail-in processors and pawn counters — and each of those steps takes a cut out of your payout.
No mail-in wait
Mail-in gold programs hold your property for a week and send a check you can only dispute after the fact. Here you see the scale and leave with money.
No pawn markup
A pawn shop prices for resale risk and loan interest. A gold buyer prices off melt. On plain karat gold, that difference lands in your pocket.
Real volume, real rates
Because we move metal daily, we can quote closer to spot on large lots than a general jeweler who buys gold occasionally.
People come back — and send their family
"I brought in my mother's old chains expecting a runaround. They weighed everything in front of me, showed me the test, and explained how they got to the number. Paid more than the two places I stopped at first."
Gold seller · Upper East Side"Sold a handful of Krugerrands here. No haggling games, no 'let me call my manager.' They quoted off spot right there and I walked out with cash in twenty minutes."
Coin seller · Queens"Half of what I brought turned out to be plated and they told me straight instead of lowballing me on the whole lot. That's why I came back with the rest of the estate."

Things people ask before coming in
The questions we get across the counter every day.
Where in Midtown Manhattan can I sell gold?
We are at 30 West 47th Street, 9th Floor, in the heart of the Diamond District between Fifth and Sixth Avenue. It is a two-minute walk from Rockefeller Center (B/D/F/M) and about five minutes from Times Square. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours — no appointment needed.
How much will I get for my gold?
Your payout is the live gold spot price multiplied by the purity of your item, multiplied by its weight — minus stones, clasps and any non-gold components. A 14K item is 58.5% gold, 18K is 75%, 10K is 41.7%. We show you the spot price, the scale and the math before you decide anything.
Do I need an appointment to sell gold in Midtown?
No. Walk in during business hours and we will test and weigh your gold while you wait. If you are bringing a large estate lot or a bullion position, a quick phone call ahead helps us have the right cash on hand.
What do I need to bring with me?
A valid government-issued photo ID. New York State requires dealers to record identification on precious metal purchases. Bring the gold itself — you do not need receipts, boxes or appraisals.
Do you buy gold that is broken, tangled or missing stones?
Yes. Condition does not matter at all for scrap gold. Single earrings, snapped chains, bent rings, dental gold and class rings are all bought by weight and purity, exactly like anything else.
How fast do I get paid?
Most transactions are done in fifteen to twenty minutes, cash in hand. Larger purchases can be paid by check or same-day bank wire.
Are you a licensed gold buyer?
Yes. We operate as a licensed second-hand precious metals dealer in New York City and follow all state and city recordkeeping requirements for precious metal purchases.
