It is very common to find a tangled mess of jewellry at the bottom of a box. You might see a necklace with a broken clasp or a ring that is bent out of shape. Most people think these items are useless because they cannot be worn anymore. However, the value of precious metal does not depend on the condition of the jewellry. Because of this, broken gold chains are actually a great source of hidden wealth in your home. We want to help you realize that “damaged” does not mean “worthless” when it comes to gold. We are the Most Trusted Gold Buyers in Saskatoon for all types of scrap.

The Reality of Scrap Gold Value

When we look at jewelry, we see the raw material rather than the design or the brand. We value your items based on the weight of the gold and its specific purity level. A broken chain weighs the same as a perfect chain made of the same metal. Consequently, you get the exact same amount of money for a damaged piece as a new one. We suggest looking through your jewelry box for anything you no longer wear or cannot fix. You might be sitting on a small fortune without even realizing it. We enjoy helping our neighbors find value in things they were ready to throw away.

We often find that people feel embarrassed to bring in “junk” or tangled items. We want to assure you that we love seeing these types of collections. We have the tools to untangle the mess and test each piece individually for purity. Our scrap gold services are designed to be efficient and very fair. We use calibrated scales that are checked for accuracy every single day. You can watch us weigh your items and see the numbers for yourself. We believe in providing a clear and open process for every customer in Saskatoon.

Identifying Different Karats in Your Collection

Not all gold in your box will have the same level of purity. You might have 10k gold from a class ring and 22k gold from a high-quality chain. We sort your items by their karat weight to ensure you get the best price for each piece. We use brands like Thermo Scientific for our high-end testing equipment. These tools can tell us the exact percentage of gold in your broken jewelry in seconds. This ensures that you are paid correctly for the high-purity pieces in your pile. We focus on accuracy so you can maximize the return on your old items.

We also look for pieces made by famous brands like Birks or Tiffany. While we buy for the metal, these brands often used very high-quality alloys. We want to make sure you understand exactly what you have before you decide to sell. Our professional technicians are happy to explain the difference between the various karats we find. We believe that an educated customer is a happy customer. We take pride in being a source of reliable information for our community. Our reputation is built on this commitment to honesty and detail.

FAQ

Does it matter if the chain is knotted?

No, we can untangle the knots for you or simply weigh the whole mass. The knots do not change the weight or the purity of the gold.

Can I sell gold with stones still in it?

Yes, we can weigh the item and account for the weight of the stones. In some cases, we can help you remove stones you want to keep.

Why is 10k gold worth less than 14k gold?

10k gold contains about 41.7% pure gold, while 14k gold contains 58.3%. Since we buy based on the amount of pure gold, the 14k pieces are worth more.
