What we buy
If it has gold content, it has a number. Sorted or unsorted, marked or unmarked, whole or in pieces — bring it in and we will test it at the counter and tell you exactly what you are holding.

These come in constantly. All of them get tested and quoted the same way.
Dental gold
Crowns, bridges and inlays, with or without teeth attached. Dental alloy usually runs 10K to 22K equivalent and is XRF-tested to confirm content.
Estate & inherited lots
Whole jewelry boxes, safe deposit contents and estate inventories. We sort with you, separate real from plated, and itemize before making a single offer.
Bench scrap & findings
Filings, sweeps, casting sprue, clasps and settings from jewelers and repair shops. Refinery-grade lots handled at wholesale rates.
Platinum & palladium
950 platinum settings, bands and bullion, plus palladium jewelry and industrial pieces. Priced off their own spot markets.
Gold-cased watches
Solid gold cases and bracelets from Rolex, Omega, Patek and others. If the watch is worth more running than melted, we will tell you that first.
Industrial & electronic gold
Plated connectors, pins and circuit lots in meaningful quantity. Small volumes rarely justify processing, and we will say so honestly.
Three minutes of prep that pays for itself
None of this is required. It just makes the visit faster and the sorting cleaner.
- Do not polish, clean or repair anything. It changes nothing about the gold content and can only cost you weight.
- Do not separate the "junk." Let us test it. People throw out real gold and keep plated pieces all the time.
- Bring photo ID. New York law requires dealers to record it on precious metal purchases.
- Check a magnet at home if you are curious. Gold is not magnetic. A magnet sticking means base metal — though a non-magnetic piece still needs a real test.
- Call ahead for large lots. Anything above a few hundred grams or a serious bullion position, so the cash is on hand.

What we will and will not buy
Do you buy anything besides gold?
Gold is what we specialize in — jewelry, scrap, coins, bars, dental and industrial. We also take platinum and palladium in most forms, and we will make offers on silver and on diamond jewelry where the stones carry real value. If you have a mixed estate lot, bring the whole thing and we will sort it with you.
Is there a minimum amount of gold you will buy?
No minimum. A single broken earring gets tested and weighed the same way a kilo bar does. Payout rates do improve on larger lots, but there is no floor to walk through the door.
What if I do not know what I have?
That is normal and it is not a problem. Bring it in unsorted. We will separate the karat gold from the plated pieces, identify the marks, and tell you what each group is before you decide to sell any of it.
Will you buy gold that has stones in it?
Yes. Stones are removed or estimated and deducted from the weight, and the gold is paid on net. If a stone is significant — a real diamond above roughly half a carat, or a good colored stone — we will price that separately rather than treat it as scrap.
Do you buy gold-plated or gold-filled items?
No, and neither does anyone honest. Marks like GP, GF, HGE, RGP and "vermeil" mean a microscopic layer of gold over base metal, with no recoverable value at any realistic scale. We will test it for free and tell you rather than buy it cheap and say nothing.
