South Toms River is not a section of Toms River
Visitors often assume South Toms River is simply the far side of Toms River Township. It is a separate borough, incorporated in 1927, with its own mayor and council, and it uses the 08757 ZIP code. The river marks the northern edge: cross it on Route 9 and you are in the township; go south and you reach Beachwood; go west and you are in Berkeley Township.
Inside those lines the town is mostly homes, with Route 9 and Dover Road carrying the traffic through. There is no jewelry district and no metals buyer, which is why a trip across the river is part of selling anything here.
Everyday gold: chains, hoops and the single earring
Most of what comes north from here is gold people actually wore rather than gold locked in a safe: rope and figaro chains with a broken clasp, hoop earrings missing their partner, a band that no longer fits, a charm bracelet from a first communion. Plenty of it is 10K, which is 41.7 percent gold, or 14K at 58.5 percent. Chains bought abroad are often 18K or 22K, stamped 750 or 916, and each of those karats is priced by itself, so a 22K chain is never mixed in with 10K scrap.
Coins surface too, usually a roll of pre-1965 dimes and quarters or a few old silver dollars from a grandparent. Those are checked for date and condition before anyone mentions melt. The coin buying page and the gold jewelry page go into more detail.
A Brick customer, in their own words
“Great service and great prices too. I came in to sell my gold and they gave me a great deal. Would recommend.”
Danny Barrios, five-star Google review of Cash 4 Gold Trading Post in Brick
Brick is a weekday counter
The Brick store keeps Monday to Friday hours, 10 to 6, and stays closed Saturday and Sunday. A long lunch or the drive home from work is usually enough time. Testing and the offer move quickly, and there is nothing to book in advance.

What happens at the Brick counter
Hand over the bag and your ID. Chains and earrings are spread out, each piece gets a karat reading on the XRF analyzer, and pieces of the same karat are weighed together on a certified scale. Coins are looked at one at a time for date and condition. You hear a number for each group at that day's live price, then sell all of it, some of it, or none.
A snapped chain, a lonely earring, a jar of old silver coins? Bring them up Route 9 to Brick on a weekday and watch every piece tested, free.

How far is the Brick store from South Toms River?
About 8.7 miles, usually 15 to 20 minutes north on Route 9 across the river. The store is at 921 Cedar Bridge Ave in Brick. Phone (732) 444-2094.
Is the Brick store open on weekends?
No. Brick is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 6 and closed Saturday and Sunday. No appointment is needed on weekdays; bring a government photo ID, which New Jersey requires for every precious-metals sale.
Is South Toms River part of Toms River Township?
No. It is a separate borough, incorporated in 1927, with its own mayor and council. It covers 1.21 square miles on the south bank of the river, has about 3,600 residents and uses the 08757 ZIP code.
Do you buy a single earring or a broken chain?
Yes. Gold is paid on karat and weight, so a lone earring, a chain with a snapped clasp or a bent ring is valued on the same basis as a perfect piece of the same karat.
How does 22K gold compare with 14K?
22K is 91.7 percent gold and 14K is 58.5 percent, so the same weight of 22K holds much more gold. Each karat is read and priced on its own, never averaged together.
Do you serve Beachwood, Pine Beach and Bayville too?
Yes. Sellers from Beachwood, Pine Beach, Bayville and the rest of Berkeley Township, and from Toms River Township across the river, make the same weekday trip to Brick.
