We understand that selling your gold—whether it's inherited estate jewelry, an old engagement ring, or scrap gold—requires trust, transparency, and a deep understanding of precious metal valuation.
Unlike traditional pawn shops or mail-in gold services that take hefty percentage cuts, we operate as a direct precious metals dealer in Brea, CA. We base our payouts strictly on the live global spot price of gold, utilizing state-of-the-art X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology to evaluate your items accurately, right in front of you. This ensures you receive the maximum cash value for your gold without any guesswork or hidden fees.

How Our Gold Appraisal Process Works
Trust is built through transparency. When you bring your gold to our Brea location, you are part of the process from start to finish. We never take your items to a back room.
- 1Sorting & Inspection
We first separate your items by their karat purity (e.g., separating 14K from 18K). We inspect hallmarks, stamps, and look for designer signatures that may carry a higher premium.
- 2Non-Destructive XRF Testing
Unlike outdated scratch-and-acid tests that can damage your jewelry, we use an Evident VentaGX X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. This machine reads the exact elemental composition of your item in seconds, confirming the precise percentage of pure gold without harming the piece.
- 3Weighing & Live Pricing
Once the purity is confirmed, we weigh your items on certified, calibrated scales right in front of you. We then multiply the weight of the pure gold content by the live market spot price to generate your cash offer.
Understanding Gold Karats
Pure gold (24K) is too soft for most jewelry, so it is alloyed with other metals for strength. Your payout is based on the actual percentage of pure gold.
