Mail-in gold

Mail the jewelry in. Read the offer. Then decide whether to sell.

This desk buys gold by weight and karat. Payment happens only after you accept. Decline, and the return is free.

The path

Three steps. Read the offer, then decide.

The appraisal kit starts the mail-in. The written offer is the decision point. You do not get paid, and you do not give up the gold, until you accept.

Request the appraisal kit

The kit mailed to you holds a prepaid overnight label, an overnight return envelope, and packing instructions. To start sooner, print the label and the instructions at home and use a box you already have. Requesting it is free.

How a number is built

Weight, karat, today's fine price, then a rate.

A real offer waits for the scale and the karat check. Until then, the calculator illustrates the method with today's published price.

Sample estimate

Enter grams and a karat to see an illustration.

Sample math grams × (karat ÷ 24) × today's USD per gram × 90%

Uses today's published fine-gold price, then 90 percent. Not an assay and not a written offer.
