Gold that piles up over the years
Plainfield is a town of growing families, and growing families collect gold quietly. A bracelet at the baptism. A cross for first communion or confirmation. Pendants and bracelets for a quinceañera or a sixteenth birthday. A chain for graduation, a class ring, a few anniversary pieces. Then the kids grow up, styles change, and most of it ends up in a box that no one opens.
That box is often worth a meaningful amount, for one simple reason: almost every one of those gifts was real gold. Here's what to know before you bring it in:
- Small doesn't mean worthless. A baby bracelet or a tiny charm is usually solid gold, just like the larger pieces beside it.
- The adults' gifts belong in the box too. Anniversary pieces, birthday chains and anything else that's been sitting unworn are all welcome.
- Set aside anything you want to hand down. We'll test everything first, so you can see what each piece is worth and keep the ones that matter before anything is sold.
Reading the stamp before you come
Most gold jewelry is marked with its purity, usually on the clasp, the inside of a band or the back of a pendant. The stamp can be a karat number or a three-digit number that means the same thing:
| Stamp | Karat | Gold content |
|---|---|---|
| 10K or 417 | 10 karat | 41.7% |
| 14K or 585 | 14 karat | 58.5% |
| 18K or 750 | 18 karat | 75% |
| 22K or 916 | 22 karat | 91.6% |
| 24K or 999 | 24 karat | 99.9% |
If a stamp is worn or missing, bring the piece and we'll test it. For photos of real stamps, see how to tell if gold is real.
