Sell gold, it's very classy

Gold has been a valuable and highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since long before the beginning of recorded history. It has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange. Many gold holders keep their treasures in form of bullion coins or bars to protect them against inflation or other economic disruptions. Such coins are used for investment or just for collector's purposes.

Like other precious metals, gold is measured by troy weight and by grams. When it is alloyed with other metals the term carat or karat is used to indicate the purity of gold present. The highest rating for a pure gold is 24 carats. The purity of a gold bar or coin ranged from 0 to 1, and so 0.995 being very pure.
The price of gold is determined through gold trading however, in September 1919, a procedure known as Gold Fixing in London provides the daily benchmark for the price of gold.


Nowadays, you can trade in or sell your old jewelry. A jeweler, pawn broker, gold refiner or scrap gold dealer will buy your jewelry at a price based on the weight of its gold content, minus a handling fee. They will melt down the jewelry, extracts the gold and sometimes some of the hardening agents and resells it or just use for themselves.
