Turn Your Old Gold into Holiday Cash

October 7, 2011, by brc_admin

If you need some extra money for the holidays, you might be overlooking a source of ready cash that’s right under your nose. Just about everybody has some old or broken gold jewelry lying around their home. It might be in a jewelry box or hidden deep in a drawer. Maybe it’s a necklace that broke long ago, maybe it’s a lonely earring whose mate has been missing for years or maybe it’s a present from an ex-lover that no longer has sentimental value. Whatever the case, if you have old gold jewelry, you can turn it into cash for the holidays.

There are dozens of companies offering to buy your gold jewelry online, but how do you know if you’re getting a good price for your items? The original sales price doesn’t matter once the item has been used. What matters is the quality of the gold and the gems used in the piece. If you take your jewelry to a professional jewelry appraiser, you’ll get a good idea of what your old jewelry is actually worth. Amateurs aren’t qualified to tell the difference between 14 and 18 karat gold. That alone can make a big difference in the value.

 

For that reason, it’s best to get a professional involved. Even if you don’t have a pile of old jewelry sitting in your drawer, you can make some extra holiday cash by finding broken or unwanted jewelry to sell. You’ll find valuable pieces if you check out some garage and estate sales. You can also source old gold from auction sites like eBay. Once you find the unwanted jewelry, all you have to do is take it to a gold refinery to turn it into cold cash. By scavenging the local sales and thrift shops, you can supplement your income quite nicely.

 

Given the current economic climate, everybody could use a helping hand paying for their happy holiday. Selling gold can be just the nudge you need to get your bills paid and to leave you enough for a little something extra for yourself. If you haven’t checked into how much your old jewelry is worth, you may be in for a pleasant surprise. Gold is selling at an all-time high. The only way to get the best price for your gold is to find a trustworthy, reliable trading partner—like us. At West Seattle Coins, we’ll give you the best price for your unwanted gold.

Go take a look through your jewelry box. You probably have several old pieces that you never wear. They might be broken or just out of style. Whatever the reason, you can turn your old gold into extra cash for the holidays quickly and easily. Since you no longer wear it, you won’t regret selling it. You’ll enjoy spending the cash you earn by clearing out your old jewelry far more than keeping it.
