What determines the price of my gold item?

Gold is soft and often mixed with other metals when incorporated into jewelry. When you hear gold referred to as 24-karat or 10-karat, this refers to the purity or amount of gold in an object. Gold items can range anywhere from 24-karat, pure gold, to “low grade,” which is anything less than 8-karat. At PMR, we purchase all gold items, regardless of purity. We also purchase gold-filled items (usually around 1 – 2% gold) for the same price as sterling silver and rolled gold items, as long as they are non-magnetic.

How does PMR determine the value of gold?

Our Precious Metals Refinery locations have a state-of-the-art X-ray gun that tells us the precise elemental analysis of alloy materials in an object. Thermo Fisher Scientific, a reputable company and leader in lab equipment, makes the machine; PMR uses their Niton XRF Analyzer model. The machine is easy to use, tests your gold or jewelry within seconds without damaging it, and allows us to have accurate results on the precise elemental makeup of your item. With the help of this tool, we know the exact amount of gold in an object to guarantee our customers the highest payout possible.

Do you need clarification on the gold content in something you own? We have the perfect solution if you have an item you suspect is gold or low-karat gold. Our X-ray service, available at all our locations, can provide you with the accurate information you need. Don’t hesitate to call our store for the latest information and prices.


Our long love of gold

Perhaps the most famous metal in the world, gold has been valued for its beauty throughout history. From use in ancient Egyptian burial masks as a currency and in ancient and modern jewelry alike, gold has had many uses over the years and continues to be highly sought after. As stories like the myth of King Midas, who could turn anything he touched to gold, the legends of the city of El Dorado, a city made entirely of gold, or fairy tales where maidens could spin hay into gold suggest, we’ve had a deep fascination with this precious metal for a long time. Some of the most exciting stories from history also center around gold – such as the California Gold Rush or Mansa Musa, a medieval king of Mali thought to be one of the wealthiest people to have ever lived.

Today, we continue our fascination with gold and its value and use it in significant objects, such as wedding rings. As mentioned above, gold is so soft that it is often mixed with other metals to produce a sturdier final product. But this has the added benefit of resulting in different colors or types of gold! In addition to what you may think of as “traditional” yellow gold, other varieties, such as rose gold, have risen in popularity over the last couple of years. (Read about the three top styles of gold.) No matter its form or style, PMR is always looking to purchase your gold.
