Cash for Gold on Bayard St, New Brunswick

New Brunswick's Downtown Gold Buyer

Our Bayard St store is one of the most accessible gold buyers in Central Jersey. We're right off Route 1 and Route 27, with plenty of street parking and the deck just a block away.

Students, families, longtime residents. People from all walks of life sell gold here, and every single one gets the same honest deal.

New Brunswick is a diverse city. We see jewelry from all over the world.

Italian gold chains, Indian bangles, Middle Eastern coins, heirloom pieces passed down through generations. We buy all of it, regardless of origin or condition.

Gold is gold.

Why Now Is the Time

Gold has been trading at historically high levels through 2026. That 14K bracelet sitting in your jewelry box?

It's worth significantly more today than it was even two years ago. A single gold chain that fetched very little a few years back could be worth far more at today's live spot price.

Prices don't stay this high forever.

If you've been on the fence, read our breakdown of the current gold market. The numbers speak for themselves.

What Happens When You Walk In

You hand us your gold. We separate it by karat if there are multiple pieces.

Then we test each piece with our XRF analyzer, which reads the exact percentage of gold content. No scratching, no acid.

The machine does a non-destructive scan and gives us a precise reading in under 30 seconds.

Next, we weigh everything on a calibrated digital scale. We multiply the weight by the gold purity and the current spot price to calculate your offer.

You see the math. You see the spot price pulled from live markets.

Nothing hidden.

Serving Highland Park, Somerset, and Beyond

We get customers from Highland Park walking over the bridge, from Somerset driving down Route 27, and from Franklin and Piscataway coming in on Route 1. North Brunswick residents are just a few minutes away too. Our New Brunswick store page has full directions and hours.

We buy all forms of gold jewelry, plus loose gold, dental scrap, gold watches, and coins. If you're not sure what you have, bring it in anyway. Testing is free and there's zero obligation to sell.

Stop by 51 Bayard St or call us at (732) 543-1313. You can also request a free appraisal online and we'll get back to you fast.

A Downtown Buyer Built for New Brunswick's Mix

Few gold buyers sit as squarely in a walkable downtown as the Bayard Street store does, a block off George Street and steps from the parking deck. That location matters in a city this varied. Longtime household sellers, families across several generations, and Rutgers students with store cards or electronics they no longer use can all reach the counter on foot, without needing to drive to a strip mall on the edge of town.

The store draws regularly from Highland Park just over the bridge, from Somerset and Franklin Township down Route 27, and from Edison, Metuchen, Piscataway, and South Plainfield a short ride away. Kendall Park, Hillsborough, Bound Brook, and Manville sellers round out the regular foot and drive traffic. Being downtown also means walk-in convenience for anyone already in the area for class, work, or errands.

Jewelry From Every Tradition

New Brunswick's diversity shows up directly in what comes across the counter. High-karat Indian bangles, Italian rope chains, Middle Eastern coin jewelry, and family heirlooms from many cultures all pass through the Bayard Street store, and every one is valued on the same footing. High-karat 22K pieces, which are 91.6 percent pure, are common here and tend to carry strong value at today's spot precisely because of that purity. Origin, age, and condition never change whether the gold is bought; only its composition and weight do.

What to Bring and How Selling Works at the Bayard Street Store

The downtown store handles gold in every common karat, from 10K and 14K everyday jewelry to 18K, 22K, and 24K pieces. Rather than rely on a stamp that may be worn or absent, each item is read with an XRF analyzer that reports its true gold content in under half a minute, with no scratching and no acid. A 14K mark works out to 58.3 percent pure and an 18K mark to 75 percent, and the scan confirms exactly where any given piece lands.

Accepted items include intact gold jewelry, scrap and broken gold, gold coins, bullion, and dental gold. Scrap and tangled lots are valued the same per gram as wearable jewelry, since the offer comes from verified weight and purity rather than looks. Coins that may hold collector value above their metal content are set aside and assessed separately instead of being priced as melt.

Certified Scale, Live Pricing, Cash the Same Day

After testing, items are weighed on a calibrated, state-certified scale with the figure shown to you before any offer is named. The payout is calculated from that weight and the live gold spot price, with the math fully visible. Sell and you are paid in cash on the spot; pass and you leave with everything you brought, no fee and no obligation either way.
