We buy gold jewelry, broken chains, class rings, wedding bands, gold watches and dental gold from sellers across the Denver metro. Every piece is sorted by karat, tested and weighed while you watch, and the offer comes in writing.
Private appointments across the Denver metro. We call back the same business day.
How gold jewelry and scrap are priced
Gold jewelry is priced on the gold it contains. We sort your pieces by karat stamp, confirm each group with non-destructive testing and weigh it on a calibrated scale in grams or pennyweights. The pure gold weight is then priced against the live spot price. Signed or antique pieces that may sell for more as jewelry get set aside, and we tell you so.

What sets the price of your gold
- Karat sets the gold share: 10K is 41.7%, 14K is 58.3% and 18K is 75%.
- Weight comes from a calibrated scale and is never guessed by eye.
- Stones and steel parts add weight without adding gold.
- Gold-filled and plated pieces hold very little gold.
- The live spot price at the time of your visit moves the final figure.

Selling in Denver
Selling gold jewelry in Denver
The Colorado gold leaf on the State Capitol dome, first applied in 1908, is the most public gold in Denver. The gold we buy is far more private. It sits in jewelry boxes in Cherry Creek and Bonnie Brae, or in a small envelope of crowns that a dentist handed back years ago and nobody wanted to throw out.
Class rings show up in a lot of those boxes. Rings from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, the University of Colorado in Boulder and high schools all over the metro end up in the same drawer as a single earring and a chain with a broken clasp. We read the karat stamp inside each band and then test it, because some class rings are only plated and hold very little gold.
Gold watches need a careful look. A watch may have a solid gold case around a steel movement, or it may be gold-filled throughout and stamped GF or RGP. When the case comes apart cleanly, we weigh the gold on its own. If a watch looks like it might be worth more whole to a watch collector, we say so before we talk about gold.
A single number for a mixed pile tells you nothing about how it was figured, and that is the usual quote at a cash-for-gold kiosk or a hotel buying event. We sort by karat first, so 18K pieces are never weighed in with 10K pieces. The written offer lists each karat group with its weight in grams or pennyweights. One pennyweight is 1.555 grams, and 20 pennyweights make a troy ounce, so you can check the math at home.
We buy gold jewelry for its gold, though some pieces deserve a second look. Signed pieces and antique jewelry that may bring more as jewelry are set aside and pointed out to you before we price anything else. What happens to them is your decision.
Sellers reach us from Arvada and Westminster, from Commerce City and Aurora, and from Littleton and Parker. We set the meeting place when you book. Bring a government-issued photo ID and call 303-401-0104, and we will call back the same business day. If you accept the offer, you are paid the same visit by cash or check, or by wire for larger sales.

Questions
Common questions
Where can I sell gold jewelry in Denver?
Call Denver Coin Buyers at 303-401-0104 to book a private appointment. We sort your jewelry by karat, test it without acid or scratching, weigh it on a calibrated scale and hand you a written offer for each group. If you accept, you are paid the same visit. If not, you keep the jewelry and the list.
Do you buy broken or single pieces?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings and charms with missing parts are all bought for their gold content. Damage does not change how much gold a piece holds. Bring them in a bag or envelope and leave any stones in place. We weigh the gold and account for anything attached that isn't gold.
Do you buy dental gold?
Yes. Dental gold is usually a gold alloy, and we buy it by weight. Crowns and bridges may still have tooth material or other metal attached, so we test what is there and price the gold content against the live spot price. Your offer shows the weight and the price in writing before you decide anything.
How do I know if my jewelry is real gold?
Look for a stamp such as 10K, 14K, 18K, 417, 585 or 750, often inside a ring band or near a clasp. Marks like GF, GP, HGE or RGP mean gold-filled or plated, which holds very little gold. Stamps can be worn or wrong, so we confirm every piece with non-destructive testing.
Is my old gold watch worth more than its gold?
Sometimes. Signed watches and antique pieces may be worth more whole than as scrap, and when we see one we set it aside and tell you. We buy gold watches and watch cases for their gold, so if a piece looks like it belongs with a watch or jewelry buyer, you will hear that from us first.
