When looking to sell gold jewelry for cash, there are a few things you should know about the different types of gold and other precious metals out there. First you need to know if your gold is real gold or just gold plated or painted. It is possible to believe that your jewelry is real gold if it doesn't have the karats imprinted on it somewhere. Gold plated items should include some sort of label such as GP. An easy way to tell for certain if your gold is real is to bring it in to a jeweler or pawnshop. Gold can be either yellow gold or white gold. Yellow gold is just like its name. White gold is silver in color with a touch of yellow blended in. If a piece of jewelry is palladium white gold, it's more gray or silver in color. Gold that is used for jewelry may be milled in a subtle shade of red, which is called rose or shades of green. The shading in green gold is very similar to 14K yellow gold only with a light green cast. Red gold has the appearance of copper that has been brightly polished, but it will not tarnish like copper. Another precious metal that many gold refiners often purchase is platinum. Many people actually mistake platinum for white gold but it is actually a completely different precious metal and is a bit heavier than gold. As a very strong metal, platinum is perfect for jewelry making. Just like gold, you can sell platinum jewelry for cash at many refiners. It is very important not to confuse sterling silver with platinum though as the two look quite similar. Platinum price has risen quite recently just like gold so it is the perfect time to sell. High school rings are often the first type of jewelry that people will consider selling. Once they're out of school, the ring often is put away, never to be worn again. If you're looking for jewelry to sell, school rings can be sold just like any other used jewelry you may have. Another type of gold that people sell that you wouldn't necessarily think of right away as dental. Just a few years ago, gold refiners would only get a handful of dental gold every now and then. But now it seems they get on a regular basis. If you have any old bridges or crowns or even fillings made of gold you should consider selling them for cash. Instead of just putting them in a bag to sit in a drawer for years, make some extra spending money. You really shouldn't have any second thoughts about the selling of the gold as it is pretty worthless to you and I doubt you can have sentimental attachment to dental work. Now you might wonder how much you can actually get for your gold but there is no real consistent answer. The value of gold changes all the time depending on the market. On top of that it depends a lot on how much you have to sell and how many karats it is. Gold buyers only by gold based on the gold content in the item, so the price can vary greatly from piece to piece. It comes down to just finding a gold refiner who will pay you more than all the others.
