Selling Gold in San Diego: Quick Answer

Bring your gold to our Carmel Valley showroom for a free, no-obligation evaluation. Here is what to expect:

  • Evaluation is free and takes 20–40 minutes, performed in front of you so you can see how the number is reached.
  • Payment is same-day once you accept an offer — no waiting on consignment or shipping.
  • Offers reflect current wholesale and secondary-market value, not the original retail price or an insurance appraisal figure.
  • No appointment is required, though booking ahead guarantees a private evaluation room for higher-value pieces.
  • You can borrow against your gold instead of selling if you would rather keep ownership.
  • Bring photo ID. California law requires identification for any purchase or loan transaction.

Understanding Gold Purity & Pricing

Gold jewelry is typically marked 10k, 14k, 18k, or 24k, indicating how much pure gold it contains out of 24 parts. The higher the karat, the higher the gold content, and generally the higher the value per gram. Our specialists test every item’s purity on the spot using industry-standard methods, so your offer reflects the item’s true gold content, not just its appearance.

Gold is priced on a global commodity market that moves throughout each trading day. We base every offer on the current live market price, so you’re always getting a transparent, up-to-date valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

We weigh your gold, test its purity, and calculate an offer based on the current live market price for gold, the same transparent method used industry-wide.

It depends on your goals. Selling gives you the full value immediately with nothing to repay; a loan lets you keep ownership and get cash now, redeemable later. We’re happy to quote both so you can compare.
