Scrap Gold Prices in NYC: How Much Is Your Broken Gold Worth?

Scrap gold — broken chains, single earrings, damaged rings, and other unwearable gold items — still has significant value. If you have scrap gold to sell in NYC, here's how pricing works.

What Counts as Scrap Gold

Scrap gold includes broken chains, kinked bracelets, bent rings, single earrings, tangled jewelry, gold clasps, and gold watch bands. Any gold item, regardless of condition, has value based on its metal content.

How Scrap Gold Is Priced

Scrap gold is valued the same as any gold: spot price × purity × weight. The condition doesn't matter because the gold will be refined. The buyer tests purity, weighs the items, and calculates the offer.
