How to Sell Gold for Cash in New Jersey (Without Getting Lowballed)

Scrap gold jewelry, chains, rings and gold bars evaluated at Golden Jewelers in Cinnaminson, NJ

What actually happens when you sell gold — how karat testing works, how the live market price sets your payout, and the red flags of a lowball offer.

Know What You Actually Have

Most people bring in a mix: broken chains, single earrings, class rings, dental gold, old wedding bands. All of it has value. Gold is measured in karats — 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K — and the karat tells us how much pure gold is in the piece. A 14K chain is 58.3% gold; an 18K chain is 75%.

You do not need to sort or clean anything before you come in. Bring it all, tangled and untested. Sorting is our job, and it happens in front of you.

How a Fair Evaluation Works

At Golden Jewelers every item is weighed on a calibrated scale and karat-tested while you watch. We explain what each piece is, what it weighs, and how that translates into a number. There is no back room and no mystery math.

  • Items sorted by karat in front of you
  • Weighed on a certified scale
  • Offer based on the live daily gold market
  • Cash paid on the spot if you accept — no obligation if you don't

Red Flags of a Lowball Buyer

Be careful with buyers who refuse to show the scale, who quote one price on the phone and another in person, or who pressure you to decide immediately. A trustworthy buyer explains the number and lets you walk out with your gold if you'd rather think about it.
