Don’t Throw Away Damaged Jewelry: It Holds 100% Melt Value
Many people assume that if a gold necklace is kinked, a bracelet clasp is sheared off, or a dental crown has tooth enamel attached, the item has lost its value. This is completely false. Gold is valued primarily by its atomic mass and precious metal purity, not its cosmetic condition.
At Bell Road Pawn (8868 W Bell Rd in Peoria, Arizona), we melt and refine scrap gold weekly. We buy damaged, broken, tangled, and outdated gold items based strictly on live New York spot price indices.
Common Types of High-Value Scrap Gold
Broken Chains and Bracelets
Kinked herringbone chains, broken hollow rope bracelets, and chains with missing spring-ring clasps in 10k, 14k, and 18k.
Orphan Earrings and Bent Rings
Single earrings whose partner was lost years ago, bent gold bands, and rings with missing stones.
Dental Gold and Nuggets
High-karat dental bridgework, inlays, crowns, and unrefined raw placer gold flakes from Arizona prospecting.
How We Test Scrap Gold Right in Front of You
When you bring scrap gold to our Peoria counter, we separate each item by karat hallmark (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k). We verify purity using electronic XRF spectrometry or non-destructive chemical testing, weigh your lot on state-inspected digital scales, and calculate immediate cash payouts.
