Selling jewelry near Grand Junction
Sell jewelry near Grand Junction and know what every piece is worth before you decide.
A jewelry box is rarely one thing. There is a wedding set in it, a few chains, some earrings that lost their partners, a class ring and one piece nobody can identify. When you sell jewelry near Grand Junction to the Gold Guy, we go through that box with you one piece at a time.
You hear what each piece is made of and what we would pay for it. Then you decide.
- Broken, tangled and unmatched pieces are all welcome.
- Stones are valued apart from the metal, each one on its own.
- Each piece gets its own answer, so you can sell some and keep the rest.

Why people trust the Gold Guy with their jewelry
Every piece is handled one at a time.
Before any of your jewelry goes on the scale, we pick up each ring and chain, find the stamp, test the metal and tell you what you are holding.
You learn what is gold and what only looks like it.
GF, GP and HGE are the marks of gold-filled and plated pieces, and costume jewelry is base metal. You see the test that tells them apart, and anything plated is handed back to you.
Stones get a proper look.
A metal price covers the metal and nothing else, so gemstones are considered on their own. Some stones add real value and many small ones add little, and we tell you which kind you have.
Keeping a piece is always fine.
Hearing a number for a ring commits you to nothing. If the ring turns out to mean more to you than the number does, take it home, and we will be glad you did.
The jewelry we buy, and what it is made of
We buy rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants and charms in gold and in sterling silver, along with class rings, wedding bands and dental gold. A lone earring goes on the scale like any other piece.
The trade calls jewelry bought for its metal scrap, and a flawless bangle nobody wears is scrap in the same sense as a bent band. Scrap is refined before its gold is sold again, so we value it on refined value, which can sit below the spot price quoted online.
Gold jewelry is sorted by karat before it is weighed, because 10K, 14K and 18K each hold a different share of gold.
From jewelry box to offer in three steps
- Tell us what is in the box. Use whatever words come to you. A few rings, two chains and a bracelet with a broken clasp is plenty.
- Bring the whole box. Skip the cleaning, the sorting and the untangling, and leave the stones in their settings. Put a government-issued photo ID in your pocket too.
- Hear each number, then choose. We test and weigh in front of you and put the offer in writing with the math shown. For anything you sell, we pay within 24 hours by check, ACH transfer or store credit.
It stays your jewelry until you say otherwise.
An offer costs nothing and asks nothing of you. Take it home, show it to a sister or a spouse, and come back when you are ready. We never treat silence as agreement.
The Gold Guy looks at your pieces himself and tells you what he sees in each one. You will be treated better here, and bringing the box to a dealer who explains every piece is the wise way to learn what you have.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I sell jewelry near Grand Junction?
The Gold Guy buys jewelry in Grand Junction, and he serves Fruita, Palisade, Clifton and the towns farther out on the Western Slope.
Do you buy broken jewelry and single earrings?
Yes, and gladly. A broken piece has the same metal in it as a whole one and gets the same careful look.
Will the diamonds in my ring be part of the offer?
They are valued apart from the metal. We look at each stone with you and tell you plainly what it adds to the offer.
Will testing damage my jewelry?
Your jewelry leaves the test the way it went in. If a piece ever needs a test that might leave a small mark, we ask first, and the answer is yours.
Is there a waiting period after I sell my jewelry?
Colorado law requires a hold period on some items before a dealer may melt or resell them. When it applies to something of yours, you hear about it up front.
Tell us what you have.
A few lines will do. Tell us what it is, roughly how much of it there is, and any stamps or dates you can read, and we will write back with what to bring and what to expect. If you are still working out what is in the box, the seller quiz will sort it out in a few minutes.
