Trusted Scrap Gold Buyers

American Asset Buyers purchases qualifying scrap gold from individuals, jewelers, workshops, and commercial sellers. We evaluate items based on their actual precious metal content rather than their appearance, age, or wearable condition.

​

Whether you have damaged jewelry, unused pieces, workshop remnants, or mixed-karat gold, our team carefully sorts and tests the material before determining its value.

​

We also work with sellers looking to buy scrap gold services from a reliable local precious metal buyer who can provide clear testing, transparent evaluation, and market-informed pricing.

Why Sell Scrap Gold to Us?

  • XRF Composition Analysis: We test elemental composition to identify gold-bearing alloys and separate them from plated or non-precious materials.

  • Troy-Weight Measurement: We accurately weigh qualifying material using the standard measurement system for precious metals.

  • Karat Classification: We separate 10K, 14K, 18K, and other purity levels so each item can be assessed according to its gold content.

  • Market-Based Valuation: We consider current precious metal market pricing when calculating offers for qualifying gold.

​

Our process gives sellers a clearer understanding of what affects the value of their gold before they decide whether to proceed.

Scrap Gold We Buy

  • Broken Gold Chains: Snapped links, damaged clasps, partial chains, tangled pieces, and other non-wearable chain sections may still contain valuable gold.

  • Damaged Gold Jewelry: Bent rings, worn bracelets, broken pendants, damaged earrings, and compromised settings may qualify for evaluation.

  • Dental Gold: Certain retired dental restorations and gold-bearing dental alloys may contain recoverable precious metals.

  • Gold Findings: Clasps, jump rings, posts, pins, connectors, and other small gold components from jewelry production may qualify.

  • Unmatched Gold Pieces: Single earrings, separated jewelry parts, and miscellaneous karat-gold items can still carry recoverable metal value.

​

A broken gold chain does not need to be wearable to retain value. We focus on purity, weight, and recoverable metal content when evaluating qualifying pieces.
