Anyone who’s heard of cash-for-gold knows you can sell scrap metal. But, did you know you can also sell class rings for cash? Or diamonds, sterling silverware, and fine jewelry?

In fact, precious metal recycling is often misunderstood and underappreciated. It sits on the sidelines while consignment stores and thrift shops get the limelight. But, selling gold, silver, and diamonds has a higher return on investment than any other commodity. Yeah, way more than your True Religions or dining room table.

If you’d like to learn more about the history and impact of repurposing metals, check out our blog, An Inside Look at Precious Metal Recycling. But, before you head that way, take a quick look at our list of items you could sell for cash. You might be surprised!

David Yurman and Other Designer Jewelry

We get it. Trends come and go. And that ring you loved a few years ago is now taking up real estate in your jewelry box. We pay highly competitive prices for designer jewelry like David Yurman, Tiffany’s, Cartier, Zales, Kay’s, and Jared’s. Skip the hassle and risk of selling online or via Facebook!

Gold, Silver, or Rolex Watches

We understand the value of timepieces, so very few end up at our refinery. Instead, we purchase elite brands (like Rolex, Cartier, and Omegas) and have them repaired to be sold. Since repairs are pricey, our customers prefer when we handle the process of getting these watches in working and pristine condition, while they go home with quick cash in their pockets.

Dental Gold

We know, we know. Gross, right? But, not really. Dental gold has a high percentage of precious metal, and if you don’t sell it, we guarantee your dentist will! Since there’s not much else you can do with your mouthpiece, take it home with you and sell it for cash. And we promise we don’t mind handling your dental gold!

Jewelry with Missing Diamonds or Stones

Even when you’re meticulous about the care of your jewelry, diamonds and gemstones can get knocked out of their setting. Sometimes, the cost of repair is more expensive than replacing your jewelry. If you decide you’d rather go for a whole new look, we buy jewelry with missing diamonds or stones. We can also remove some diamonds and gemstones from their precious metal setting if you prefer to reset the stone in something new. 

Loose and Melee Diamonds

Which brings us to loose and melee diamonds. Contrary to our name, we’re also one of the most respected buyers of diamonds in the tristate area. While many buyers don’t have staff members who are trained in diamond valuation and grading, everyone who works at Memphis Gold Buyers is qualified to grade your melee or loose stones.  

Sterling Silverware

Sterling silverware is one of our most frequently sold items. The valuation process is quick, and the cash adds up fast. You can learn how to determine if your tableware is sterling silver or plated in our blog post, How to Know if Your Silverware is Real in 2 Easy Steps.

Last But Not Least, Sell Class Rings for Cash

Let’s be honest. Nobody wears their class ring after graduation. While the memories are nice to keep, the gold or silver in your ring can also bring a pretty penny. If you’re conflicted about whether you should sell class rings for cash, you can stop by and get a free, no-obligation quote.
