What we buy at the East Brunswick store

We buy every form of gold at the 111 Main St location. Most sellers arrive with one of the following:

Scrap gold jewelry — broken necklaces, single earrings, bent rings, old bracelets, charms, and pins. Damaged pieces are fine. We pay for the gold content, not the condition.

Estate jewelry — inherited rings, brooches, pendants, and sets from house cleanouts. Mixed lots are welcome. We sort and test everything at the counter so nothing gets overlooked.

Gold coins — American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, older $20 Liberty and Saint-Gaudens double eagles. We buy bullion coins at spot-plus and numismatic coins at fair market value when collector premium applies.

Gold bars and rounds — 1 oz, 10 oz, 1 kilo, and fractional gold bars from any mint. PAMP Suisse, Perth Mint, Valcambi, and generic refinery bars are all acceptable.

Broken or damaged pieces — a watch with a gold case, a knotted chain that cannot be untangled, a ring with a missing stone. The gold is what matters. We pay full melt value on every piece regardless of its condition.

How XRF testing works

Every piece of gold at our East Brunswick store gets tested with a Thermo Scientific XRF spectrometer before we make an offer. The test takes under 60 seconds and identifies the exact karat and alloy composition of the metal without scratching or damaging the piece. You watch the test happen at the counter.

This matters because a lot of gold jewelry is mislabeled. Pieces stamped 18K sometimes test as 14K. Pieces sold as gold-filled turn out to be solid gold. The XRF test tells us exactly what you have, which means you get paid for exactly what you have, not for what the hallmark says.

After the XRF test, we weigh the gold on a calibrated digital scale that you can read from your side of the counter. The offer is calculated from those two numbers: purity and weight, multiplied by the live spot price with our standard buying percentage applied. We explain every step before you decide.

Why we pay more than pawn shops

Pawn shops profit by lowballing on the way in and selling on the way out. We are a dedicated precious metals buyer. The only transaction that matters to us is the one we make with you today. We do not need to resell your gold jewelry to a retail customer at a markup. We buy at a higher percentage of spot because our cost structure is built around volume purchasing, not margin on individual pieces.

Sellers from Old Bridge, South Brunswick, Piscataway, and Highland Park consistently find our offers stronger than what pawn shops on Route 1 or Route 9 are quoting. We cannot guarantee we beat every competitor on every piece, but we are worth a stop on Route 18.

Frequently asked questions

How much is my gold worth?

The value of gold is calculated from its weight in troy ounces multiplied by its purity percentage multiplied by the current spot price. A 14K gold ring that weighs 5 grams contains 2.917 grams of pure gold (5 x 0.583). At a spot price of $3,300 per troy ounce, that ring contains roughly $310 in gold content. We buy at a standard percentage of that melt value, which is disclosed before the transaction. Heavier pieces, higher karat, and current spot price all increase the offer.

What karat do you buy?

We buy 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold without restriction. We also buy gold-filled items for their gold content and platinum pieces through our standard precious metals buying process. The XRF test identifies the actual karat of every piece so there is no guessing.

Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?

Yes. A broken necklace is worth the same as an intact one of the same weight and karat. A ring missing its stone is priced on the gold alone. A bent bracelet is weighed as-is. Condition only matters if the piece has collector or resale value above the melt price, which we identify separately.
