Finding The Ideal Bullion & Gold Jewelry Buyers

Added 3/12/2012

Are you looking for Bullion & Gold Jewelry Buyers but don’t feel certain about how to find the right Gold Buyers, or which buyers will give you a fair deal? It is understandable that you might have a difficult time when you see how many gold buyers are out there — but not all jewelry buyers are created equal, and this is especially true in the case of gold jewelry buyers.

Did you know that the most highly qualified and properly trained gold jewelry buyers will always put your gold bullion and gold jewelry through a series of tests to determine the true value? Unfortunately, many of the gold buyers in the world today don’t do the necessary tests to determine true gold value — in fact, many of the pawn shops that buy gold don’t even know what these testing procedures are, let alone how to properly perform them to evaluate your gold bullion or gold jewelry.

Gold jewelry and gold bullion has to be properly tested and evaluated in order to know how much it is truly worth: Any gold buyers who don’t do the tests to determine true value, or who just assign a quick “Melt Value” (how much the bullion or gold jewelry will be worth if it is melted down into just metal) are not even coming close to giving you the real value of the gold jewelry or gold bullion. Choose Gold Jewelry Buyers who have extensive experience because this will allow you to get the most money for your gold bullion or gold jewelry! Experienced buyers can skillfully determine what your gold jewelry is worth.

Pawn1st Pawn & Title Loan Centers are Gold Jewelry Buyers and gold bullion buyers in the Phoenix area. Pawn1st employs a staff of jewelry and bullion buying experts that pay more than other pawn stores or gold jewelry buying outlets. Visit one of the seven Phoenix-area Pawn1st stores to get the most cash for gold jewelry and gold bullion!

The Best Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix Arizona

When you find yourself in need of some money quickly, there are very few things that can generate that cash as fast as the sale of your jewelry. Most jewelry is worth some significant money, whether it is a newer piece or is an antique piece. Some jewelry that you might not even think is worth money may be worth quite a bit!

For example, most people have heard that the prices for gold are at some of the highest levels in history, which is true — but did you know that sterling silver is also at one of the highest levels ever? You can take gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, watches, Native American jewelry, or antique jewelry in to reputable Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix and get more money than you may have ever thought possible for it.

When you are deciding which of the Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix to patronize, keep two things in mind. First, you need to choose the pawn shop that gives the best jewelry payouts since pawn shops since jewelry buyers in Phoenix often have wide differences in how much they pay to the customer.

Next, you need to choose a pawn shop that has employees who are properly trained to evaluate jewelry. This is very important because some of the Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix only take one factor into account, for example the “melt value”, meaning how much jewelry is worth once it’s melted down. There are a number of other factors that need to be considered in jewelry valuation, and you should always select Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix who know all the different methods of testing and evaluating jewelry pieces: There is much more to it than just the melt value!

Pawn1st Pawn & Title Loan Centers are Jewelry Buyers in Phoenix who pay more money than any of the competitors, and who have employees specially trained in multiple methods of jewelry valuation. Pawn1st has seven Phoenix area locations, with three pawn shops in Phoenix, and additional pawn shops in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, and Scottsdale.

Looking for the Best Prices for Gold in Phoenix Arizona? There can be no doubt that gold jewelry is more valuable today than it has ever been, which puts people who want to sell gold jewelry in Arizona in a very profitable position! Even as recently as a few years ago, gold prices were far lower than they are today, and gold just keeps getting more valuable. Gold prices have been steadily on the rise for about 10 years: Industry analysts tell us that gold prices have spiked sharply over the last decade, and that the prices don’t appear to be dipping again anytime soon. This translates into fantastic news for anybody who owns gold jewelry that they want to sell for quick money, gold jewelry that they never wear, those who have old gold jewelry, or people with out-of-style gold pieces that are just taking up space in the jewelry box.

We pay an average of 40 percent more than the competitors, and we vow never to take advantage of our clients by misrepresenting the value of the gold jewelry.

All of these places can’t come close to the prices that we at Pawn1st will pay: We put our relationship with our customers above all, and we will not lie or take advantage of that relationship!

Gold buying is more than just an occasional thing for us: We purchase gold day in day out, and we only hire specially trained gold buyers to work for our Pawn1st locations. To ascertain the true value of gold, it must be properly tested — and we will always do the needed tests so that we can give customers the most accurate possible value. We take every aspect of the gold into account, not just the “melt value.” Most other pawn shops simply consider how much the gold will be worth once it’s melted down but we will look at your gold using the proper testing methods, just as true jewelers should.

(Is it) Worth More Than it’s Weight in Gold?

 

Gold, Silver and other precious metals are at an all time high, but realistically it can fall off quite fast or on the other hand keep on rising. Do you sell it, hold onto it or find out what it’s  truly worth?

Gold, Silver, Diamond and Platinum Jewelry, as a personal adornment, has been collected, traded, bought and sold throughout the ages. It has been used in pawning methods for thousands of years around the world. In our present day you can benefit greatly if you decide to sell, as precious metals are at an all time high. It’s also of great worth when used as collateral towards a loan. While you are in the process of deciding, one thing we suggest is doing some homework on your jewelry. By knowing something about the history, designer and style period, you may have a piece that is worth far more than the melted value. This type of jewelry is floating around more than people think. Many of our highest transactions have come from folks who didn’t realize what they had. With a well trained and trusted company, you may go in thinking you were going to get $100 and walk out with a $1000. This has happened many times in our centers. Some businesses have prospered greatly from these types of transactions, but those whom have a “get rich quick mindset” never prosper. They simply get a quick dishonest buck. Our brokers are well trained and believe that to build a successful business you must be forthcoming and honest with your customers.

Interesting Facts:

  • While Silver isn’t as valuable as Gold, it has actually grown in value faster. So don’t over look your silver jewelry, coins,flatware, or even silverware as they may be valuable. Check for a (.925) stamp, (sterling) stamp, or (ster) stamp. Items such as flatware and silverware may only be partially silver but can still fetch a great price. Coins can also be very high in value.
  • Well trained jewelry buyers will not solely rely on mechanical testing devises to estimate your valuables worth. They will use more of a hands on method to get an accurate value. One reason being, is that many pieces of gold jewelry have been misrepresented with a more valuable stamp. A gold ring may have 18kt stamped on the inside of the band, when in fact is 10kt. This is why qualified buyers test with a more hands on method.

Helpful tips when selling:

  • Make sure your jewelry is tested in open view.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions about your merchandise and the testing methods used.
  • A reputable company is best as they have more extensive training.
  • Shop around, and educate yourself.

Helpful tips when researching:

  • Much of the Edwardian and Victorian gold jewelry stays well ahead of what current market value pays.
  • Prices on gold and silver from the Arts and Crafts period as well as Native American Jewelry continue to climb in value.
  • Craftsmanship and style can add great value to a piece.
If you have many pieces your looking to get a loan on or sell, try separating them into categories. Here are the different amounts of gold in jewelry pieces.
  • 24 kt Gold Jewelry > 99.99% gold
  • 22 kt Gold Jewelry > is 91.7% gold
  • 18 kt Gold Jewelry > is 75% gold
