Even Broken Gold Has Value
What Is Scrap Gold Worth?
Scrap gold value is determined purely by weight and purity. Here's what you need to know:
Gold Price Per Gram Today
Gold prices change daily based on global markets. We always use live spot prices to ensure you get fair, current value.
10k vs 14k vs 18k Value
10k = 41.7% gold, 14k = 58.3%, 18k = 75%. Higher karat = more pure gold = higher payout per gram.
Weight-Based Pricing
We weigh your gold on certified scales in front of you, sorted by karat. The calculation is transparent: weight × purity × spot price.
Why Broken Jewelry Has Value
Broken, tangled, or damaged gold is refined and melted down. The condition doesn't matter – only the gold content does.
Dental Gold Value
Dental gold (crowns, bridges) is typically high-quality alloy. We test and pay based on actual gold content, which can be quite valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions — Selling Scrap Gold in Tampa
The Complete Guide to Selling Scrap Gold in Tampa Bay
What is Scrap Gold Worth?
Scrap gold is any gold item that will be melted and refined rather than resold as-is. The term covers a wide range: broken chains that can't be worn, tangled necklaces, single earrings without their partner, bent rings, pendants with missing stones, old-fashioned pieces you'd never wear again, and dental gold including crowns and bridges. The key insight is this: condition is completely irrelevant for scrap gold. A snapped 14K chain is worth exactly the same per gram as an intact 14K chain of the same weight. What matters is only two things: purity (karat) and weight.
Where to Sell Scrap Gold in Tampa — and How to Get the Best Price
The biggest mistake Tampa Bay residents make when selling scrap gold is going to a pawn shop first. Pawn shops on Dale Mabry, on US-19, in Brandon — they all operate on the same model: pay as little as possible, resell as high as possible. For scrap gold, this means they typically offer 40–55% of melt value. They also frequently use acid testing (which is less accurate and slightly damages your gold) instead of XRF spectrometry.
Our XRF spectrometer gives laboratory-accurate readings in seconds — and you see the screen. We then calculate: weight (grams) × purity (decimal) × spot price ($/gram) × 90% = your offer. No back-room math, no subjective "it's pretty worn" deductions. The number comes from the machine and the live market.
Dental Gold — Don't Throw It Away
Dental gold is one of the most overlooked and valuable types of scrap gold. Gold dental crowns and bridges are typically made from high-purity gold alloys (commonly 16K–20K) because gold's biocompatibility and softness make it ideal for dental applications. A single gold crown can weigh 2–5 grams and be worth $100–$350 at current prices. Many Tampa Bay residents have had gold dental work replaced and simply discarded the crowns — a costly mistake. We test dental gold with our XRF spectrometer and pay accordingly. There is no minimum — even a single crown is worth the visit.
