Where does Somerset go to sell gold?
To Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 51 Bayard St in downtown New Brunswick. From the streets off JFK Boulevard and Demott Lane, the drive is Easton Avenue southeast, County Route 527, straight across the New Brunswick line, then over to George Street and Route 18 for the last few blocks to Bayard Street. From the neighborhoods off Hamilton Street it is shorter still.
Somerset is not a town of its own. It is the name that covers the northeastern corner of Franklin Township, counted by the Census as a place of its own and known to everyone by the 08873 mailing address. It is also easy to mix up with its neighbors: Somerset is not Somerville, the county seat, and it is not Somerset County as a whole. If your mail says Somerset and you can reach Easton Avenue in a few minutes, this is your page.
Easton Avenue is the spine of it. The I-287 interchange sits on Easton, the office buildings along Davidson Avenue are a few minutes off it, and the avenue itself turns into a Rutgers street once it crosses into New Brunswick. That mix of long-settled families, commuters, and people who came for work from all over the world is exactly what shows up in the jewelry Somerset brings in.
Which parts of Somerset do we see most?
The neighborhoods on both sides of Easton Avenue, the streets off JFK Boulevard and Demott Lane, and the blocks along Hamilton Street closest to the city line. The office corridor along Davidson Avenue near I-287 is only a few minutes away as well.
What do Somerset sellers bring in?
Everything from a broken 10K chain to a heavy 22K wedding set. Purity is what sets the price, and the analyzer reads it directly, stamp or no stamp: 10K is 41.7 percent gold, 14K is 58.5, 18K is 75, and 22K is 91.7. Sterling silver is 92.5. Tap a category below for how each one is tested, then bring it down Easton Avenue.
Are you selling, or looking for a loan?
A pawn loan and a sale are different things. With a loan, a pawnbroker holds your piece, you pay back the money with interest, and it is returned once you have paid. With a sale, the money is yours and the piece stays with the buyer. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post never lends, only buys. If what you need is a loan, a licensed pawnbroker is the right stop. If you have decided to sell, here is what happens on Bayard Street.

Estate jewelry buyers near Somerset, NJ
An estate from a Somerset home can hold jewelry from three or four countries in one box: American 10K and 14K class rings and wedding bands, 18K bought in Europe, 22K sets from South Asia or the Middle East, and a coin or two picked up along the way. Each of those is a different purity, and a buyer that weighs them together at one rate is paying the lowest karat for all of it. We separate them on the counter while you watch, weigh sterling apart from plate, and check watches, signed pieces and coins for value above their metal before anything is priced as melt.
For a larger estate, our estate buyers service can visit the house and help with probate paperwork, and the guide to selling estate jewelry in New Jersey walks through it step by step.
Diamond buyers near Somerset, NJ
A diamond ring brought in from Somerset is priced in two parts. The metal is tested and weighed like any other gold or platinum. The stone, set or loose, is examined under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, and a GIA or AGS report helps if you have one. Splitting the two is how a valuable diamond avoids being paid as scrap. More on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.

What is the closest gold buyer to Somerset, NJ?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 51 Bayard St in downtown New Brunswick, about 5 miles from Somerset by Easton Avenue, usually 10 to 15 minutes. It buys gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and coins outright for same-day cash. Call (732) 543-1313.
Can I sell gold from Somerset and get paid the same day?
Yes. Bring your gold and a photo ID to the New Brunswick store any weekday from 10 to 6. Each piece is read on an XRF analyzer and weighed in front of you, and if you accept the offer you are paid before you leave. No appointment is needed.
How is the offer worked out for a Somerset seller?
From that day's spot price for the metal, applied to the purity the analyzer reads and the weight on a certified scale. 22K is 91.7 percent gold and 14K is 58.5, so two pieces of the same weight can be worth very different amounts. You hear the number before anything is decided.
Will I see my gold tested?
Yes. The analyzer and the scale sit on the counter with the reading facing you, and nothing is taken out of your sight.
Do you buy inherited jewelry from Somerset estates?
Yes. Estate jewelry, sterling flatware, watches and coins are bought at the New Brunswick counter, and larger estates can be seen at the house. Every piece is valued on its own, never folded into a single bulk rate.
Where can I sell a diamond near Somerset?
At the New Brunswick store on Bayard Street. Loose and mounted diamonds are examined under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, and a GIA or AGS report strengthens the offer. The stone and its setting are priced separately, so you are paid for both.
Is the New Brunswick store open on Saturday?
No. New Brunswick is open Monday to Friday from 10 to 6 and closed Saturday and Sunday. For a Saturday visit, our Middlesex store at 748 Bound Brook Road is open Saturday from 10 to 4, about 8 miles from Somerset.
What should I bring from Somerset?
A government photo ID, which New Jersey requires for every precious-metals sale, and the jewelry, coins and diamonds you are thinking of selling. Leave them uncleaned, keep sets together, and bring any certificates you have, though none are required.
Is Somerset the same as Franklin Township?
Somerset is part of Franklin Township, the section closest to New Brunswick, known by the 08873 mailing address. It is not Somerville, the county seat, and not Somerset County as a whole. Sellers from every part of Franklin Township are welcome at the New Brunswick store.
Should a Somerset seller sell outright or take a pawn loan?
It depends on whether you want the piece back. A pawn loan is borrowing against it: a pawnbroker holds the item, you repay the loan with interest, and you collect it at the end. Selling is final, and the cash is yours with nothing owed. We only buy and never lend, so for a loan see a licensed pawnbroker. To sell, Bayard Street is about 5 miles from Somerset by Easton Avenue.
