Broken & Unwanted Items
Can I Sell Broken, Damaged or Mismatched Gold Jewelry?
Yes. Sell Your Gold accepts broken, damaged and mismatched precious-metal jewelry. Because these items are evaluated for the metal they contain, their condition does not reduce the value of their precious-metal content.
You can also include scrap gold, dental gold and mixed inherited collections in your Appraisal Kit.

Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, damaged clasps and mismatched pieces can be sent as-is. There is no need to repair them before sending them for evaluation.
