We Are Chandler’s Premier Platinum Buyer!
We offer the peace of mind and care that a precious customer should always deserve for their platinum jewelry. As a locally owned business, we have been in the valley of Chandler, Gilbert, and Queen Creek for over a decade, and have made it our business to be as knowledgeable and professional as possible. This is important to you, the customer. Because when it comes to being a reliable platinum buyer, it takes skill, experience, consistency and offering 96% – 99% of platinum’s spot price to earn that trust.
Our focus and dedication to be known as a reliable Platinum Buyer in Chandler has paid off, by being a part of the community, and being available 7 days a week to our customers. You can trust us do evaluate and assess an honest price, whenever you step inside of Oro Express Chandler Pawn and Gold that our pawnbrokers will always offer the most cash possible for your platinum.
The Value of Platinum
Platinum is actually one of the rarest precious metals when compared to gold and silver. Many pawn shops actually will look at you funny and tell you that you’re bringing them silver, despite the fact that platinum jewelry is worth far more than gold and silver combined. Typically, we only see platinum wedding bands given to men as gold is far more desirable. This leads into many people simply being unaware of the true value of platinum and trying to underpay customers who are simply looking for quick cash.
We’ve been Chandler’s top platinum buyer for well over a decade, and our staff knows how to give accurate valuations on platinum jewelry, and pay the most cash for your valuable pieces. Similarly to our gold and silver, we refer to the current spot price of platinum at the time of the assessment, to calculate an offer and present it to you. So you can rest assured you’re getting the fast cash you deserve no matter the situation.
The Buying Process
Whether you’re selling platinum jewelry, bullion, or scrap the process will be relatively the same. Most of the value that comes from a precious metal is in the gram weight of the item, and it’s purity.
If you bring in platinum bullion or coins, the hallmark stamp is in clear view, and is almost always 99.99% pure. And we will readily run a quick analysis to verify, using our Sigma Metalytics device to do so. It takes less than a minute to set it to run electro-magnetic waves through any bulk precious metal for analysis and receive the test’s results.
The first thing our skilled and experienced platinum buyer will look for as your prospective platinum buyer, is the hallmark stamp indicating the purity content of the precious metal in the jewelry. This is usually hidden behind a clasp, or on the seam in the jewelry, typically labeled either 999 Plat (99.9% pure, bullion and coins), Pt950 (fine engagement and wedding rings), Pt900 (Estate and Vintage Jewelry) or Pt850 (15% Palladium or Copper, common in commercial jewelry) .
This isn’t a 100% guaranteed indication of the purity, it just gives our associate a starting point to test and verify the purity. The next step is an acid test, which just confirms the purity of the platinum, or indicates whether the purity is less, which does happen more often than one would think.
Once we have the purity, we weigh it and determine its weight in grams. We update our prices daily based on what’s known as a “spot price” which is the price that platinum is being traded for that day. We simply take a percentage of that price, multiply by the gram weight, and present our cash offer to you. Should you choose to accept our cash offer for your platinum jewelry, we’ll simply collect a few quick signatures from you and send you on your way home with cash in hand.
