This was an amazing experience! All of the people were friendly and knowledgeable. Kaden helped us and we totally trusted his expertise and were dealt with fairly! I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to check the value of their jewelry!

Super nice and friendly staff. It was my first time selling jewelry and Kadin expertly explained everything to me. Great experience and very pleased with the outcome.
Amy Carpenter Google review
Welcoming experience from start to finish. I just had one small ring to sell (under $100) and we were treated as if it was a million-dollar transaction. Simple and painless as well. Kaiden has excellent customer service skills, and while fully staying on track and taking care of the business aspect, he managed to teach us a few interesting processes and let us feel the weight of the 2 oz. coins just because he was genuinely excited for us to be wowed, which we were! I have always directed fellow Salemanders to this place over the years, and today just proved even more why I do. Highly reccommend!
Trinity Lost Google review
While downsizing the family home I made an appointment to take in a big box of old silverware and miscellaneous jewelry to have appraised and to sell. I was attended by Drew Postma. He very patiently and thoroughly went through every item and gave me fair market value offers on each piece. Very happy with the experience.
Gregory Donohoe Google review
I came in with some "junk" gold and was able to walk out with a beautiful opal bracelet that was on sale for half off the sticker price today! I am very pleased with my new purchase and the staff are so friendly and helpful there. I will be back again soon for more great deals.
Sheila Runkle Google review
I just love this place! There are dealers closer to where I live, but I would rather drive the 40 minutes to deal with these guys. I go about once a week. They are honest and trustworthy. Kaiden takes great care of me, and call when he gets something in that he thinks I will like. The other two guys, Drew and Trent, are amazing as well! You can't go wrong dealing with these people!

Audio Testimonials from Real Customers Selling Jewelry

Hear From Our Customers

“They explained all the steps, it was clear and concise wording you weren't, if you had a question, they addressed it immediately and at several points they would ask if you want to continue and you can decide. But before any marks were made on the jewelry, they would ask if you're satisfied with the price. They explained why they were doing the marking and that satisfied. ... If you start with one person, the person stays with you throughout the entire process.”

A customer

“I sell jewelry to them. I had a lot of questions, they answered a lot of questions, they went through every single piece and took the stones out of whatever I had and everything and you know, nice guys to me. I always felt I got a fair deal, you know, they went with current markets, you know, so they always had that posted and everything and you could see when it was up or down or whatever.”

A customer

“If you're on the fence, come in, find out what it's worth, if it's real or not, and go away and think about it, and the folks here will not give you attitude or pressure you into selling something that you're not really quite sure what you're going to do yet.”

How Selling Jewelry Works at Our Salem Shop

We have an in-house refinery where we melt gold and other precious metals. This means that you get the best deals by selling directly to a precious metals processor.

  1. 1 Test and Weigh An XRF assay gun reads the exact metal content in seconds, with no scratching or acid. Then we weigh it in grams.
  2. 2 Price It at Live Spot Your offer is based on the market price at the moment we test. We pay more than anyone else in Salem.
  3. 3 Get Paid the Same Day Accept and you're paid before you leave. Decline and you take your jewelry home.

Hear From Our Customers

“I knew that when I came in here, this was where I wanted to do business because everybody treated me very cordially and respectfully and everybody has a good demeanor and they made you feel like a friend, not a client. That was nice. ... I've watched even the people that bring in stuff at the counter and then they count them out, tell them what it's worth and give them the money. Just the way you treat people makes people want to come back here and do that, you know.”

A customer

“I was nervous at first when I came in, but I feel fine now. The more familiar you get, and the more questions you ask, and more conversation, you gain a certain level. And it's light and bright in here, and I do like being buzzed in. So, yeah, I feel safe. And I just want to add one thing, that you explained everything. When we had questions, you explained them, and you went into detail about how coins are assessed, or how the value is determined.”

A customer

“Yeah, it just gave us a secure feeling I enjoyed the experience watching what she was doing there I had seen the type of equipment used when gold mining but I had never seen it in this particular Situation where you was actually checking the value of the ring itself in front of us right here It wasn't back in a corner somewhere. They come out and tell us what it was”

A customer

“My experience was always excellent. The people behind the counter definitely know what they're doing and know what they're talking about. Always willing to assist and help in any way that they can. I've definitely had at least three or four transactions. Every transaction is done very professionally and well done.”

A customer

“We had some family heirlooms that have come through, including a bunch of coins, silver, that type of thing. We're trying to cash those in because we're not planning on keeping a hold of them. ... The first time I came in, I came in and asked a bunch of questions, got plenty of response, got plenty of information, and gladly walked out with what I had and didn't sell anything at that time. Which made me think they're not just after that product, they're not after the sale.”

A customer

“It was very professional, and I was treated with a lot of respect and dignity, and that's why I wanted to come back. It seems like there's a lot of honest rapport, and that trust is built. ... If you're not sure, bring it down here, and they'll tell you if it's worth anything or not. And it doesn't take very long, and then you know.”

Should I sell jewelry to a jeweler or a pawn shop?

Neither is set up to buy. A jeweler earns by selling jewelry, so any offer has to leave room for resale profit, and many will not buy outright at all. A pawn shop offers a loan, discounted for their risk, with interest on top. A buyer that refines precious metals in house has no middleman to pay, so it can pay closer to what your piece is really worth.

What is a 14k gold ring worth right now?

14k is 58.3% pure gold, so multiply the weight in grams by 0.583 and then by the spot price per gram. With gold near $3,995.90 an ounce, a gram of 14k is worth about $74.94. A typical band weighs 2 to 6 grams, so the gold alone comes to roughly $149.88 to $449.65 before any stones. We pay based on that market value once we weigh and test the ring.

Do the diamonds in an old ring still have value?

Usually, yes. Diamonds are valued on carat, cut, color and clarity, not age, though antique cuts like Old European or Old Mine can earn a collector premium. Small accent stones add a modest amount, and the gold or platinum setting is often worth as much or more. We value the metal and the stones separately, then add them up.

What is a 14k ring with a 1 carat diamond worth?

Two numbers added together. The band is valued by weight and purity against live spot, about $74.94 per gram of 14k today, and we pay based on that metal content. The diamond is graded on cut, color and clarity, which can mean a few hundred dollars for a lower grade stone or several thousand for an exceptional certified one. Only a full evaluation of both gives you the real total.

How much would a pawn shop lend on a $1000 item?

Usually a loan of 25% to 60% of the resale value, so somewhere around $250 to $600, and the exact figure varies a lot by shop. The discount covers the risk that you never repay, and interest accrues the whole time. If you want cash rather than a loan, an outright sale to a buyer who pays on real market value gets you much closer to the full amount.
