What Gold King buys

Jewelry we purchase

  • Gold, silver and platinum jewelry
  • Diamond rings, bracelets and necklaces
  • Designer and signed jewelry
  • Broken, scrap and single pieces

What we look at

  • Metal purity by XRF, with acid testing as additional verification where appropriate
  • Gram weight on a precision scale
  • Diamonds evaluated with a partnering gemologist
  • Brand, maker's marks and hallmarks

Most jewelry is priced on its gold first

Unless a piece is signed by a designer or set with a significant stone, the offer starts with the metal: karat, weight and the live spot price on the day you come in. That is the same math we use on scrap, so a tangled box of broken chains is just as welcome as a clean set.

Also useful: read how our gold pricing is calculated, sell gold in Houston or bring in sterling silver too.

How a jewelry offer is put together

Most jewelry is valued in parts: the metal by tested karat and gram weight, the stones by size and quality, and the piece as a whole if it has resale value above the sum of its materials. Adding those honestly usually beats treating everything as scrap, which is why we sort before we weigh.

Designer and signed jewelry — Cartier, Tiffany, David Yurman, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bvlgari — is checked against secondary-market demand first. Original boxes, pouches and certificates help but are never required.

Also useful: how diamonds are graded here or selling a gold chain.

Bring everything in one visit

Sellers routinely bring a mix: a couple of wearable pieces, a bag of broken chains, an inherited box of unknowns and a watch. All of it can be evaluated in the same sitting, with an itemized breakdown so you can sell some pieces and keep others.

Costume and plated items are identified free of charge and handed back. We would rather tell you a piece has no melt value than buy it as though it did.

Also useful: sell broken jewelry as scrap or sell an inherited collection.

How we price it

  • Gold value is calculated from the live gold spot price at the time of your visit, by karat.
  • Stones and designer branding are valued on top of metal where applicable.
  • You choose which pieces to sell — never all or nothing.

The buying process

  1. 1

    Bring it in

    Walk in during store hours, or call 713-997-0875 to arrange an after-hours appointment.

  2. 2

    We evaluate each piece

    Gold, silver, platinum and rhodium are checked by XRF, our standard method — with acid testing only where appropriate and with your approval if offered instead of XRF — and weighed; diamonds are evaluated with a partnering gemologist; signed pieces are assessed for resale demand.

  3. 3

    You get an offer

    A firm offer: gold and silver content at their live spot prices at the time of your visit, plus any stones or designer value.

  4. 4

    Get paid — cash on the spot or your choice

    Accept our offer and receive cash on the spot, or choose another available payment method: wire transfer, cashier's or business check, Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App or gift card, including for high-value items. Payment in gold, silver or platinum can also be discussed and negotiated. Or decline and take your items home.

Selling other valuables, too? See our related Houston services: Sell Estate Jewelry, Sell Diamonds and Cash for Gold. Items you bring together are evaluated at the same visit and combined into one offer. You can also see what Houston sellers bring us or get directions to our Southwest Freeway store.

Jewelry Buyer — Questions & Answers

Do you buy broken jewelry?
Yes. Broken chains, bent rings and single earrings are welcome. The metal is generally valued on tested purity, weight and the market price, so damage alone usually does not lower the metal value, though stones, designer value and condition can affect the overall offer.
Are you a pawn shop?
No. Gold King is an outright buyer. We purchase your items for cash rather than issuing loans against them.
Can I sell just one item?
Yes. There is no minimum. Customers regularly sell a single chain or ring.
