If you have gold jewelry, coins, or other gold items you are ready to sell, Nashville Coins and Jewelry provides expert evaluations by private appointment. We help Nashville customers understand what their gold contains and what may influence its value before they decide whether to sell.
Gold items can vary significantly in purity, weight, condition, and form. A broken bracelet, collectible coin, or high-karat piece may each need to be considered differently. Knowing a few basics about how gold is evaluated can help you arrive at your appointment better prepared.
Karat describes how much pure gold an item contains. Because most jewelry is made by combining gold with other metals for strength and durability, two pieces of similar size can contain very different amounts of actual gold.
For example, 24-karat gold is approximately 99.9% pure, 18-karat gold contains 75% gold, and 14-karat gold contains about 58.3% gold. Knowing the karat of your items can provide useful context when determining their precious metal value.
The amount of gold contained in an item also plays an important role in its potential value. Precious metals are commonly weighed in grams or Troy ounces, with one Troy ounce equal to approximately 31.1 grams.
During an assessment, we consider weight alongside purity, not on its own. This is why a lighter item with a higher gold content may be assessed differently from a heavier piece made with a lower-karat alloy.
Gold sellers may have more than rings, necklaces, and bracelets to bring in. Nashville Coins and Jewelry can evaluate a range of gold items, including coins, bullion, watches, and other objects containing precious metal.
If you are unsure whether an item contains gold or what karat it may be, you do not need to determine that beforehand. Bring it with you and our team can inspect it as part of your appointment.
Nashville Coins and Jewelry handles gold evaluations by private appointment only. This gives our team time to review your items individually and gives you a chance to ask questions about what you brought in, without the distractions of a walk-in retail environment.
During your visit, we examine the gold items you would like to sell and consider factors such as purity, weight, condition, and current precious metal market conditions. Once the evaluation is complete, you can review your options and decide whether selling is right for you. We will never put pressure on you to move forward.
Whether you have one unwanted gold piece or several items to evaluate, call us or use our online form to schedule an appointment.
