Selling Gold in Boca Raton? What You Should Know Before You Sell
Gold has a way of accumulating over the years. Maybe you have jewelry you no longer wear, a broken chain sitting in a drawer, inherited pieces that aren't your style, or old gold coins you’ve been meaning to do something with.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my old gold actually worth anything?” the answer may surprise you.
At Devon’s Diamonds & Decor in Boca Raton, we buy gold in many forms, including gold jewelry, coins, bullion, and scrap gold. Whether you have one piece or an entire collection, we’re happy to take a look and explain what you have and what it may be worth.
What Types of Gold Can You Sell?
You don't need to have a perfect piece of jewelry for it to have value. We purchase a variety of gold items, including:
- Gold rings
- Gold necklaces and chains
- Gold bracelets
- Gold earrings
- Broken or mismatched jewelry
- Gold coins
- Gold bullion
- Scrap gold
- Estate jewelry
- Unwanted or outdated fine jewelry
That old bracelet with a broken clasp? It may still be worth something. A ring you haven't worn in years? Bring it in.Even pieces that aren't wearable anymore can contain valuable gold.
How Is Gold Value Determined?
One of the most common questions we hear is, “How much is my gold worth?”
There isn't one simple answer because several factors can affect the value of a piece.
1. Gold purity
Gold jewelry is often marked with a karat designation such as 10K, 14K, 18K, or 22K. The karat tells you how much pure gold is in the piece.
For example, 18K gold contains more pure gold than 14K gold, while 24K gold is considered pure gold.
2. Weight
The amount of gold in a piece is another important factor. We carefully evaluate the item and its materials as part of the buying process.
3. The current gold market
Gold prices change with the market, so the value of your gold can vary over time.
4. What you're selling
A piece of gold jewelry can have value beyond its metal content. Designer jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, vintage pieces, and desirable or collectible items may warrant a different evaluation than something being sold strictly for its gold content.
That's why having your jewelry evaluated by an experienced jeweler can be helpful.
Should You Sell Your Gold for Scrap or as Jewelry?
This is an important question — and it's one reason we recommend having your pieces evaluated before deciding what to do with them.
A piece that looks old or outdated to you might have more value as a piece of jewelry than simply as scrap gold. It could contain desirable diamonds or gemstones, have collectible or designer value, or potentially be redesigned into something you'll actually wear.
At Devon's, we can evaluate what you have and discuss your options with you.
Selling isn't your only option. Depending on the piece, you may also want to consider a trade-in, redesign, or simply keeping it.
What About Inherited Jewelry?
Inherited jewelry can be especially difficult to decide what to do with.
Maybe you love the person who gave it to you, but the style isn't something you'd wear. Or perhaps you inherited several pieces and don't know what you have.
Before making a decision, bring it in and have it evaluated.
We can help you understand what you're looking at and discuss whether selling, keeping, or redesigning the piece makes the most sense for you.
And if the sentimental value is the most important part? That's completely okay, too. Knowing what something is worth doesn't mean you have to sell it.
Why Sell Your Gold to a Local Jeweler?
Selling valuable jewelry can feel intimidating, especially if you're not familiar with gold, diamonds, or the jewelry market.
At Devon's Diamonds & Decor, we believe the process should feel comfortable, straightforward, and personal.
We're a family-owned jewelry business serving Boca Raton and the surrounding South Florida community. When you bring your gold to us, we'll evaluate it and explain what we're seeing so you can make an informed decision.

Have Gold Sitting in Your Jewelry Box?
You may be holding onto value without even realizing it.
Take a look through your jewelry box for pieces you haven't worn in years. Check the safe for old coins or gold pieces. Ask your family if there are inherited pieces you're unsure about.
You don't have to know what something is worth before you bring it in.
That's what we're here for.
