The Price of the Gold

Out With the Old, In With the New
Getting rid of things that no longer spark joy is a rejuvenating process in itself. As the award-winning organization consultant Marie Kondo has taught us, the “art of tidying up” is a form of self-care. “The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life,” she says in her best-selling book. While all jewelry is precious, there are a multitude of reasons why some pieces may no longer serve you, and that’s okay. The first step is accepting this fact — letting go of the past will help you make space in your life for what’s next.

Earn Some Money
No matter what kind of job you have or the sort of lifestyle you lead, everyone could use a little bit of extra cash. Money is the major reason that drives people to sell their old jewelry, and this alone has brought people to pawn shops for thousands of years. But these kinds of services can be inconsistent, and selling your precious metals shouldn’t be an experience based on luck. With Au Jewelry Exchange, you’ll know exactly how much the jewelry is worth based on our posted market rates — empowering you to make an informed decision about whether to sell your pieces. If you have jewelry sitting around, it’s likely worth a lot more than you think.
