Do you have mismatched earrings, half a necklace, or single earrings?
Many people don't realize that you don't actually need to have a full piece of jewelry to have scrap gold. If you've got a single earring or an earring with its match lost, you can sell this as scrap gold, and we’ll melt it down and reuse the metal.
You may also have half of a necklace or bracelet or other broken pieces that are sitting around in your jewelry box or dresser drawer doing nothing but taking up space. These pieces can be sold for scrap as well.
Do you have scrap gold in your jewelry box?
Did you know that there's such a thing as scrap gold? And, yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. If you're lucky enough to have some of this precious metal lying around in your home (no matter the amount), you could be sitting on a gold mine filled with hidden value. But before we get into that, let's take a closer look at this mysterious form of gold.
More gold is lost every year than is mined. In fact, more than $10 billion worth of gold has been discarded throughout our country's existence—and less than half of it has ever been recovered! What goes through people's minds when they toss out the equivalent of billions and billions of dollars?!
You might think that scrap gold isn't worth much since it comes in small amounts and frequently goes unnoticed by its owners. While this may be true on an individual basis, keep in mind that all those small amounts add up to big money!
So how do you find out if any of your unwanted or unknown jewelry contains scrap gold?
That's easy: Take it to your trusted gold dealer at Gold Rush Exchange in Fairfield, Ohio.
We use a simple test to determine if any fine metal (such as platinum or palladium) can be transformed into bullion or used to make new pieces (like rings). We'll weigh your items and explain their findings in terms anyone can understand—even someone who has never heard about scrap gold before.
Do you have broken jewelry you're hanging onto for sentimental reasons but don't wear?
Now is the time to cash in on that jewelry you don't use anymore. If you have broken jewelry you're hanging onto for sentimental reasons but don't wear, there are many ways those items could be converted into cash.
If you're feeling charitable, you could donate the extra cash you receive for your old gold to a local charity that needs funding. Donating gold is a great way to give back and make someone's day—maybe it'll even be tax-deductible! As always with charitable giving, make sure the organization is reputable by doing some research on their website or contacting them directly with any questions or concerns before making any donations.
Keep it simple and just get straight to the point (money), sell your old gold to a gold buyer. At Gold Rush Exchange we give you cash on the spot for all of your unwanted gold—it's as easy as bringing in your scrap metal and receiving an offer right away!
Are your teeth so white that your old dental gold is now ugly?
It's possible that you have some old dental gold in your mouth. It can be extremely difficult to tell unless you've actually had it removed.
If you have any gold fillings—especially on your teeth—and are considering having them removed by a dentist, do not go to one who doesn't specialize in this procedure. You want someone who is experienced and skilled at working with precious metals (gold included), and not someone who just deals with filling shoddy cavities or partial crowns all day long.
If your dentist isn't particularly interested in doing these procedures, find another one rather than entrusting your health to their hands; they'll likely make a mess of what could be an easy (or even exciting) process.
