Our Transparent Valuation
We keep the valuation process clear and honest. Most gold items are assessed based on two key factors: karat and weight. In most cases, we identify the gold’s purity by checking for a hallmark—commonly marked as 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and so on. If no stamp is visible, we use an Evident VentaGX - an advanced, non-damaging X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to accurately determine the karat*. Each karat level reflects how much pure gold the item contains, which is outlined in the chart below. For designer pieces, diamonds, or luxury timepieces from brands like Rolex, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., or David Webb, we go beyond metal content. These items are evaluated for their resale market value, considering brand, condition, rarity, and demand.
*Please note, we reserve the right to file or drill any jewelry or coin if we cannot verify its stated metal content.
| Karat | Parts Gold to Alloy | Percentage | Fineness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10K | 10/24 | 41.67% | 417 |
| 14K | 14/24 | 58.33% | 583 |
| 18K | 18/24 | 75.00% | 750 |
| 22K | 22/24 | 91.66% | 917 |
| 24K | 24/24 | 99.99% | 999 |
Advanced, Non-Destructive Testing
At Glister Gold, we use Evident VentaGX - An advanced, non-damaging X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to determine the exact purity of your gold. Our top-of-the-line XRF analyzer provides an instant digital readout of your item's precise gold content without making any physical contact. This state-of-the-art process ensures your jewelry is never harmed. For full transparency, your items never leave your sight, and you are able to see the results for yourself, guaranteeing you receive the true, accurate value you deserve.
This modern approach stands in stark contrast to the method used by nearly every other gold buyer. They rely on the inexpensive and outdated "scratch acid test," which involves physically scraping your valuable jewelry to apply acid. This damaging technique is not only abrasive but also provides only a rough approximation of its actual worth. We believe your valuables should be protected, which is why we invest in superior technology to eliminate guesswork and ensure a fair and precise valuation every time.
