How to Evaluate the Value of Your Gold and Silver Items

Before visiting Ronnie's Jewelers, understanding how your items are valued helps you set realistic expectations.

Key Factors That Affect Value

• Purity: Gold purity is measured in karats (24K is pure gold). Silver is often marked as sterling (.925) or fine silver (.999).

• Weight: The heavier the item, the more valuable it is by metal content.

• Condition: Well-maintained pieces may fetch higher prices, especially if they have collectible or designer value.

• Market Price: The current spot price of gold and silver directly impacts value.

• Type of Item: Coins and bullion usually have a value close to metal content, while jewelry may have added craftsmanship value.

  
  

Simple Ways to Check Purity and Weight

• Look for stamps or hallmarks on your items.

• Use a jewelry scale to weigh your pieces accurately.

• Consider professional appraisal for rare or antique items.
