Gold Buyer in Phoenix & Chandler
Sell Gold in Phoenix & Chandler, AZ
Bring gold jewelry, broken or unwanted gold, estate pieces, dental gold and other gold items to Valley Goldmine for a private, in-person evaluation. Understand what you have, review the offer and decide whether selling is right for you.
What Gold We Evaluate
Gold jewelry, scrap, estate pieces and more.
If an item contains gold, it may still have value even when it is broken, outdated or difficult to identify.
Gold Jewelry
Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants and other yellow, white or rose gold jewelry.
Broken & Scrap Gold
Broken chains, damaged rings, single earrings, partial pieces and other unwanted gold.
Estate & Inherited Gold
Inherited jewelry and collections where you may not know the karat, age or current value.
Gold With Diamonds
Gold jewelry containing diamonds or other stones. The stones and the gold setting may each contribute value. Learn about selling diamonds.
White & Rose Gold
Gold does not have to look yellow. White and rose gold are gold alloys and can be evaluated according to their actual gold content.
Dental Gold
Gold dental work can contain precious metal even when it does not look like traditional jewelry.
Gold Value
What determines what your gold may be worth?
Gold value is not based on weight alone. Purity, the amount of gold in the item, current market conditions and whether the piece has additional jewelry or stone value all matter.
A 14K item contains less pure gold than an otherwise identical 18K item. Understanding purity is the starting point for evaluating gold content.
Once purity is understood, the amount of gold in the item helps determine its underlying precious-metal value.
Gold market prices move over time. A current evaluation is more useful than relying on an old estimate or purchase receipt.
Diamonds, other stones, estate characteristics or a distinctive finished piece may deserve consideration beyond metal content alone.
Understanding Gold Purity
What do 10K, 14K, 18K and 24K mean?
Karat describes the proportion of pure gold in a gold alloy. Pure gold is 24 karat. An 18K piece contains 18 parts gold out of 24, while 14K contains 14 parts gold out of 24.
Gold jewelry is commonly alloyed with other metals to change its strength, durability and color. That is why yellow gold, white gold and rose gold can all be genuine gold even though they look different.
Do you need to find the stamp before your appointment?
No. A karat mark can be a useful clue, but stamps can be tiny, worn or absent. Bring the item as-is rather than trying to identify every piece yourself.
Gold jewelry versus a broader jewelry evaluation
If you have a larger collection with diamonds, estate pieces or mixed precious metals, see our gold and estate jewelry page. We also have dedicated information for silver and platinum.
Gold, Gold-Filled & Gold-Plated
Not everything that looks gold contains the same amount of gold.
Gold-plated, gold-filled and gold-overlay pieces can contain a layer of gold over another metal, while karat gold jewelry contains gold throughout the alloy. The difference can significantly affect precious-metal value.

Selling Gold With Confidence
What should you look for in a gold buyer?
A good selling experience should help you understand the evaluation and give you enough information to make your own decision.
You should be able to ask how karat, weight and other factors affect the offer.
Meet in person at a dedicated Phoenix or Chandler office rather than mailing valuable items away.
An evaluation should give you information and an offer without forcing an immediate decision.
Different karats, diamonds, estate characteristics and mixed metals should not automatically be treated as identical material.
