Do I need to weigh my gold jewelry before I send it?
Absolutely not. Simply package up your items and ship them to us. We’ll do all the work of weighing the jewelry and calculating the value. Please visit the How to Ship page for details.
How can I tell if my jewelry is real?
Almost all real gold jewelry is marked with the gold content, such as 14k or 10k. Sometimes it is a little hard to read the markings, especially on the post of an earring. As a general rule, if it isn’t marked, it’s not gold.
However, there are some exceptions to the rule.
Take a look at the What we Buy page to learn more about Indentifying Stamps.
However, there are some exceptions to the rule.
| | Sometimes gold has been incorrectly marked by the manufacturer. |
| | Some very old pieces and foreign jewelry is not marked. |
| | If a ring has been sized sometimes the markings are removed. |

What is a penny weight?
What is karat?
How can I tell if something is really made of gold?

What years were coins really made of silver?
| 1) NowGold payments do not reflect retail value. | |
| | Sometime gold has been incorrectly marked by the manufacturer. |
| | Retailers mark up prices by three, 10 and even 20 times their actual worth |
| | Even the price of a piece of jewelry bought on sale from a retailer is usually far more than the intrinsic value of the metal |
| 2) Insurance appraisals are for “retail replacement value.” | |
| | An insurance appraisal of your jewelry does not equal the value of the gold |
| | Insurance appraisals set the cost to replace a lost or stolen piece at retail value |
| | The fine print of most insurance appraisals say, “Not an offer to buy” |
| 3) Jewelers use appraisals as marketing tools. | |
| | Jewelers may offer more for your items, but that may be for trade-in only |
| | You would be getting “more” for your jewelry, but only in exchange for another item marked up by the seller |
| 4) Not all identifying marks are accurate. | |
| | NowGold uses state-of-the art testing technology to test all gold we receive |
| | Engravings are found on most jewelry to indicate its karat – or gold purity level |
| | Not all hallmarks or identifying markings are correct |
| | Most countries do not require an independent third party to verify jewelry’s gold content |
| | Some unscrupulous dealers stamp jewelry incorrectly to misrepresent the quality and to make customers think they are getting a good deal |

How can I tell if something is really made of gold?
Almost all real gold jewelry is marked to identify the gold purity. Sometimes the markings are hard to find, especially on the posts of gold earrings. As a general rule, if you can't find a marking telling you the gold purity, it's probably not really gold.
Sometimes, especially on antique jewelry and Italian jewelry, gold manufacturers leave of the stamp, even though it is real gold. Other times manufacturers put on a false stamp to take advantage of their buyers.
Really, the only way to tell for sure is using technical testing procedures. Chemical test and spectrometry are often used by jewelers to test the gold.
