Sell Gold Near Aurora, IL

Getting here from anywhere in Aurora

Montgomery shares Aurora's southern border, so most of the city is a short, straight drive from our door. Which road you take depends on where you start:

• Downtown and the near east side (around the Paramount Theatre and the Fox River): Broadway, which is IL-25, carries you straight south into Montgomery and right past our plaza. We're at the corner of Douglas Ave and Montgomery Rd.
• West side (along Lake St and Galena Blvd): take Lake St, also signed as IL-31, south. Since we're on the east side of the Fox River, cross over at the Mill St bridge or on US-30 East, then head to Douglas Ave and Montgomery Rd.
• Far east side (around Route 59, Fox Valley Mall, the Oakhurst neighborhood and the Waubonsie Valley area): even from here it's usually only 10 to 15 minutes. The Get Directions button will pick the quickest way from your street.

Look for the We Buy Gold sign when you pull in. Parking is free and right outside.

Where to sell gold in Aurora

Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois, so there's no shortage of places that will take your gold. They just aren't all built for the same purpose.

• Jewelry stores are in the business of selling jewelry. When you bring gold in, the conversation often turns to trading it toward a new piece, and a straight cash sale isn't always the priority.
• Pawn shops are built around loans. Buying gold outright is one side of the business, not the focus.
• A dedicated gold buyer does one thing: buy gold. At We Buy Gold, that's our entire business. Every piece is tested and weighed at the counter while you watch, and you see exactly how your offer is calculated. With your gold, transparency isn't a feature. It's the whole point.

What people from Aurora bring us

A city this size means a little of everything comes through our door. The pieces we see most often from Aurora:

• Gold chains and necklaces, from rope to Cuban links, intact or broken
• Bracelets and bangles
• Rings: wedding bands, class rings and fashion rings
• Pendants and charms, including religious medallions
• Gold coins and small bars

If it's real gold, we buy it in any condition. A chain snapped into three pieces is worth exactly what it would be in one. Gold-plated and gold-filled pieces aren't real gold, and we'll point out which is which as we test. Wondering whether something is real before you make the trip? Our guide on how to tell if gold is real shows the stamps to look for.

Cleaning out a family jewelry box?

Aurora families often bring us a parent's or grandparent's jewelry all at once. You can bring it exactly as you found it, tangled, mixed with costume pieces and unsorted, and we'll go through it with you piece by piece. For a large estate, call us at (630) 593-3510, and we'll set up a private appointment. More on this in our guide to selling inherited gold.
