(707) 287-1919 to schedule a visit at your home or office.
Gold Jewelry We Buy From San Francisco Sellers
We buy gold in many forms, whether it is whole, broken, old, or out of style. San Francisco sellers often bring items such as these:
▸ Gold rings, including engagement rings, wedding bands, and fashion rings.
▸ Necklaces, chains, bracelets, and bangles in yellow, white, or rose gold.
▸ Broken, bent, or mismatched pieces, including items missing stones.
▸ Estate and antique gold jewelry, with or without gemstones.
▸ Designer pieces from brands such as Cartier and Tiffany.
If it contains gold, a specialist can look at it. Bringing all your pieces to one appointment is usually easiest. A larger group can be reviewed in a single visit, and you can see every offer at once.
How Karat and Hallmarks Affect Gold Jewelry Value
Karat tells you how much of a piece is pure gold, and it is one of the main factors in an offer. We buy 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K jewelry.
Look for stamps such as "14K," "585," "18K," or "750" near the clasp or inside a ring band. Weight, condition, and gemstones also matter. We weigh and test pieces with mixed karats one at a time, so each is valued fairly. A signed designer piece or a rare vintage style may be worth more than its gold alone.
Gold Jewelry From Across San Francisco
San Francisco was shaped by the 1849 Gold Rush, and gold still turns up in many local homes. Families in Presidio Heights, the Marina District, and Cow Hollow may hold inherited chains and wedding sets. Homes in Cole Valley, the Mission District, and St. Francis Wood often keep older pieces in jewelry boxes for decades.
The city's diverse communities may also own high-karat 22K and 24K jewelry from around the world, and we can evaluate those pieces too. Sellers in these neighborhoods choose a gold jewelry buyer who can come to them.
