Cash for your GoldThere are basically (2) ways for you to cash in your unwanted gold and jewelry items. Firstly, we always recommend a personal visit. We have (3) convenient locations in New England, Salem, NH, Lowell, MA, and Portsmouth, NH. If this is convenient we suggest this method since we can weight all your gold in your presence. You can ask all the questions you wish and everyone will fell more comfortable with the transaction. However, if the distance is a problem as it is in so many cases, then we will make it as simple as possible for you to mail in your jewlery in a safe manner. Unfortunately, some of these "fly-by-night" companies have given the gold business such a bad name by paying only 1/5th of the value for gold. Many people have become reluctant to send in their gold, and rightly so. We want you to be 100% comfortable and satisfied. Follow these easy steps and you will receive payment immediatly:

Jewelry that is received by Cash for Gold is first subjected to a state-of-the art electronic testing device. An alligator clip attaches the metal to the small device. After a few drops of test solution are placed on the test area, the machine quickly and accurately provides the gold quality (measured in karats) on its digital display screen.
Scratch testing involves the use of needles verified as having certain levels of gold and low-grade acid solutions corresponding to each karat level. By treating the pieces with acid and comparing scratches from the needles, the tester can confirm what kind of gold is contained in the piece.
If both the electronic testing and scratch methods do not confirm clear results, pieces are subjected to an X-ray fluorescence scan. The machine used for this test is an incredibly powerful and remarkably expensive state-of-the-art device capable of providing detailed analysis by measuring the intensity of the generated gold X-rays by wavelength dispersion analysis.
