    Gold Buying Guide

    The price of gold is changing every minute, which constantly affects the retail cost of fine jewelry. Bring your unworn jewelry into Midtown Jewelers, and we can give you a detailed quote based on today’s gold market.

    What You Need to Know:
    Whether you’re interested in buying beautiful gold jewelry or selling unwanted gold items, understanding the price of gold and how the process works can help you get the best value. Here’s everything you need to know about gold buying and selling at Midtown Jewelers.

    How Gold Buying Works:

    1. Bring your gold items (jewelry, coins, etc.) and a valid ID to our store.
    2. We’ll test and weigh your gold in front of you using certified equipment.
    3. Our team will calculate your payout based on purity, weight, and the live gold price.
    4. You’ll receive a no-obligation offer!
    5. Payment is made immediately–or ask our team for available payment options.

    Note: Gold prices and final offers may vary. Offers depend on purity, weight, item condition, and the current market price.
