Selling to Gold King
- Who buys gold near me in Houston?
- Gold King buys gold at 6809 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77074, open daily 10:00 AM to 8:45 PM. We test and weigh your gold in front of you and pay cash the same visit. Call 713-997-0875.

- Gold King buys Rolex watches in person in Houston, running or not, with or without box and papers. Bring the watch to 6809 Southwest Freeway or call 713-997-0875 for a ballpark estimate first.
- Who buys diamonds in Houston?
- Gold King buys loose and mounted diamonds in Houston. Stones are graded under loupe and scope for carat, cut, color and clarity, and the mounting is valued separately. GIA reports are welcome but not required.
- Do you pay cash on the spot?
- Yes. Most transactions are complete in 15 to 20 minutes and paid in cash before you leave. Bank wire is offered on high-value watches, bullion positions and estates.
- What do I need to bring?
- Your items and a valid government-issued photo ID. Texas law requires precious metal dealers to record seller identification for every purchase.
- Is the appraisal free?
- Always. Testing, weighing and appraisal cost nothing, and there is no obligation to sell. If you decline the offer, you take your items home.
- Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?
- Yes. Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings and damaged pieces are paid at the same per-gram metal rate as intact jewelry, because value is based on metal content.
- Are you a pawn shop?
- No. Gold King is an outright buyer, not a lender. There is no interest, no pawn ticket and nothing to redeem — we purchase your items for cash.
- What are your hours?
- Open daily 10:00 AM – 8:45 PM, seven days a week. After-hours appointments can be arranged by calling 713-997-0875.
- Can you appraise my items over the phone?
- We can give a rough range by phone if you know the karat, weight or watch reference, but a firm offer requires seeing and testing the items in person.
- Do you buy silver-plated or costume jewelry?
- Plated and costume items have no meaningful melt value. We test them free of charge, tell you honestly what they are, and return them to you.
