Know Your Karats

“Pure gold is often alloyed with other metals to enhance durability and color. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) mandates that all jewelry sold in the U.S. be accurately labeled with its karat fineness. For example, 14-karat gold consists of 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals. Higher karat values signify a purer gold content, which can increase the value of your jewelry. Knowing your jewelry’s karat will help you make an informed decision on its value.”

Separate Your Karats for Accurate Valuation

To ensure maximum value, separate your jewelry based on karat value. Some dealers may weigh items of varying karats together and pay you based on the lowest value. By separating them, you’ll be assured that each piece receives an accurate, fair valuation.

Want to Keep the Stones in Your Jewelry?

At Texas Coins & Jewelry, your satisfaction is our priority. If you wish to keep the stones in your jewelry but sell the metal, we are happy to accommodate. Following a mandatory holding period for all purchases, we’ll safely remove and return your gemstones to you at no additional cost.
