Gold pricing, explained
How much will a pawn shop give for gold jewelry?
Your offer starts with three numbers: how much the gold weighs, its karat (how pure it is) and today’s market price of gold. Diamonds and gemstones are valued on top of the metal, based on cut, clarity, color and demand. Designer and branded pieces can be worth more than their gold content alone.
| Karat | Pure gold | Common stamp |
|---|---|---|
| 10K | 41.7% | 10K or 417 |
| 14K | 58.5% | 14K or 585 |
| 18K | 75% | 18K or 750 |
| 22K | 91.7% | 22K or 916 |
| 24K | 99.9% | 24K or 999 |
Genuine metal only. Gold-plated, gold-filled and rhodium-plated pieces don’t qualify. Not sure what you have? Bring it all in and we’ll test it for you. Selling coins or bars? See our coin and bullion page.

Questions we hear every day
Jewelry pawn and gold buying FAQ
How much will a pawn shop give me for a gold ring?
It depends on the ring’s weight, its karat and today’s gold price, plus the value of any stones. A heavy 14K or 18K ring is worth more than a light 10K band. Bring it to any Acme store for a no-obligation cash offer in minutes.
Is it better to pawn or sell my jewelry?
Pawn it if you want it back: you get a loan, we keep your piece safe, and you pick it up when you repay. Sell it if you’re done with it: you get cash on the spot and nothing to repay. Ask us for both offers and choose.
What do I need to pawn or sell jewelry in Colorado?
You must be 18 or older, bring a valid government-issued ID, and be the rightful owner of the jewelry.
How do you know my gold and diamonds are real?
Our pawnbrokers test the metal to confirm its karat, weigh it, and evaluate stones for cut, clarity and color. Watches are checked for authenticity. We don’t buy or sell fakes.
Do you take gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry?
No. We only lend on and buy genuine gold, silver and platinum. If you’re not sure what you have, bring it in and we’ll test it for you.
Do you buy Rolex and other luxury watches?
Yes. We buy, sell and lend on authentic Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Cartier and other luxury watches after checking them for authenticity.
Can I put jewelry on layaway?
Yes. Put 10% down and pay 10% a month with no interest. Your piece is held securely until your final payment.
How long does a jewelry pawn take?
Most jewelry pawns take about 10 minutes, start to finish.
Do you buy estate jewelry?
Yes. We’re estate jewelry buyers at all four stores. Estate jewelry is simply pre-owned jewelry, whether it was inherited, collected or just no longer worn. Bring in a single piece or a whole jewelry box and we’ll make you a cash offer on everything with real value. We also sell estate jewelry in our cases, often for far less than new.
