Our Simple Gold Sorting Process
At Fox Fine Jewelry, we use a easy two-step process to help you understand what you have, and decide what to do with it.
1. Sorting: We'll identify if your jewelry is precious metal or costume, and what stones are worth saving.
2. Your Options: We help you decide what to:
- Keep: We'll clean your jewelry and advise on any repairs
- Repurpose: We'll help you design new jewelry using your inherited stones
- Sell: Get a 30% bonus for store credit for purchases, repairs, or custom design

"A wonderful store with the best employees.
Cannot recommend them more. Family run, local and just a great experience overall."
Selling Diamonds and Gemstones
We offer higher payouts for larger, high-quality natural diamonds and gemstones because we offer recycled stones in our custom jewelry. Gemstones we commonly purchase include sapphire, ruby, emerald, tanzanite, alexandrite, and opal.
Some gemstones don’t carry resale value on their own. In those cases, to ensure you still get value, we often add their weight to your gold and pay based on the combined total. Common examples include amethyst, blue topaz, citrine, peridot, and garnet.

Do I Need a Jewelry Appraisal?
In most cases, no. When selling jewelry, the cost of a written appraisal often exceeds the benefit.
If you plan to sell a very high-value item privately, a written appraisal may help you achieve a higher price. In some cases, testing diamonds or gemstones can also be helpful—especially if the stones are larger.

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount you can sell your jewelry for depends on the weight, the purity (the karat), and the current gold price. Fox Fine Jewelry’s payout is very competitive, so you can feel secure and confident selling your jewelry to us.
We’re unable to give quotes or estimates from photos. We need to inspect, test, and weigh your jewelry before we can give you a quote. Learn more about how much can I sell my jewelry for.
To determine if your jewelry is gold or costume jewelry, run a strong magnet over the piece. If it is magnetic, it is not gold - it is costume jewelry. If it is not magnetic, it may or may not be gold, and you should bring it in for testing.
Caution: If only the clasp on a piece of jewelry is magnetic, do not assume the piece is costume jewelry! Clasps have a spring in them, and some gold jewelry pieces will have clasps that are magnetic. So test the body of the jewelry before assuming the entire piece is costume - it might be gold!
Please note that Fox Fine Jewelry doesn’t purchase costume jewelry.
Fox Fine Jewelry purchases sterling silver (most jewelry is sterling silver) and platinum. In virtually all cases, we only purchase sterling silver jewelry when sold in addition to selling gold and/or platinum jewelry, as we have a minimum purchase amount of $25.
If you are selling a large quantity of silver jewelry, of a set of sterling silver silverware, for example, that will meet our minimum and can be sold on its own.

The easiest way to tell the difference between sterling silver and white gold is to look for the stamp, called a hallmark. It’s usually stamped on the inside of a ring. On a pendant, it’s usually stamped on the back side, or on the bail (the piece where the chain goes through). On a chain or bracelet, look at the clasp, or the tongue of the clasp. On post earrings, there will be a very tiny stamp on the posts!
- Sterling silver stamp or hallmark: 925 (occasionally stamped SS)
- Gold stamp or hallmark: 10K, 14K or 585; 18K or 750
- Platinum stamp or hallmark: 900, 950, PL, or Plat
If the stamp is too small to read, get a magnifying glass or take a photo with your phone and enlarge it.
Fox Fine Jewelry will give you a 30% bonus when you select store credit instead of cash payment! For example, if your payment would be $1,000, you could choose to have $1,300 instead for store credit.
This is an excellent option if you want to get yourself new jewelry, have jewelry repairs, or want to repurpose your jewelry. Taking your payment as store credit will reduce your cost and in many instances, make your new jewelry or repairs free!
That’s a lovely idea to repurpose your diamonds and gemstones! We often help clients with this, and this is something we can help with remotely, for clients across the U.S.. We’ll carefully remove your diamonds and/or gemstones and help you with your design, and give you credit for the gold.
Bonus! You’ll get a 30% bonus additional credit when you use your metal for store credit.
