Sell gold in San Francisco

Old chains, a ring from a past life, a single earring whose partner went missing years ago. Most of the gold we see at our Sutter Street counter has been sitting in a drawer. Bring it in and we'll tell you what it's worth today.

How we arrive at an offer

Three things set the price of a gold piece: its purity, its weight, and the market price of gold on the day you sell. We check the karat stamp, test the metal to confirm it, and weigh it on a scale you can see.

Then we show you the math. Gold prices move every day, so an offer reflects that day's market. If you want to watch the market before you come in, our gold price page updates through the day.

How it works

Simple, fast and done in front of you.

  1. Bring your items

    Walk in during store hours or book a time. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.

  2. Free evaluation

    We test and weigh each piece in front of you and explain how the offer is put together. No obligation.

  3. Get paid on the spot

    Accept the offer and you're paid before you leave. Decline it and you take everything home.

Common questions

Do you buy gold that isn't marked?

Yes. Plenty of older and handmade pieces have no stamp, or a worn one. We test the metal to confirm what it is before we make an offer.

Should I clean my jewelry first?

No need. Dirt and tarnish don't change the gold content, and some cleaners can damage stones.

Can I sell just one piece?

Yes. A single ring or a broken chain is welcome. There's no minimum.
