We Buy Scrap Gold & Silver Jewelry

---

Here’s something many people don’t realize: items you consider “scrap” could actually have value beyond just their metal weight. At Legacy Gold Buyers, we check every piece for potential additional value before making an offer.

Pieces from Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, and other luxury brands can carry significant premiums over melt value, even when damaged.

Victorian, Art Deco, and mid-century jewelry often has collector value that far exceeds its gold or silver content.

If your jewelry contains diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, or other precious stones, those have value too—even if the setting is broken. We’ll evaluate the full piece, not just the metal.

You don’t have to! That’s exactly what we’re here for. Many pieces have stamps (like 10K, 14K, 18K, .925, or Sterling), but stamps can be missing, worn off, or even inaccurate. We professionally test every item regardless of markings. Bring it all in and let us tell you what’s real.

Gold-plated items generally have very little recoverable gold and aren’t something we purchase. However, some gold-filled items (especially older, heavier pieces) can have enough gold content to be worth buying. Bring them in and we’ll test them for free—there’s no risk in finding out.

No—please don’t. Removing stones can damage the setting and actually reduce the overall value. Bring the complete piece and we’ll evaluate the metal and stones together.

Not at all. Tarnish, dirt, and patina don’t affect the metal’s weight or purity. Save yourself the effort and bring it in as-is.
