How We Assess Estate Jewelry at Oro Express Chandler Pawn & Gold

  1. Sell estate jewelry in Chandler | Oro Express ChandlerVisual & Hallmark Inspection

    • Stamp & Signature Checks: An associate inspects the piece under magnification for maker’s stamps, designer signatures (e.g., Tiffany & Co., Cartier), and metal purity hallmarks (such as 10K, 14K, 18K, 925, or Platinum).

    • Documentation Review: If you bring original receipts, GIA grading certificates, prior appraisals, or original designer packaging, these are reviewed to help establish higher resale potential.

  2. Precious Metal Verification & Testing

    • Magnet Test: The metal is first checked with a magnet to verify it is not iron, nickel, or plated base metal.

    • Touchstone & Acid Testing: To verify gold purity (karats) or silver content, a small rub is placed on a stone tablet and tested with specific acid solutions. For bulk metals or coins, electromagnetic analyzers (like Sigma Metalytics devices) are used.

    • State-Certified Weighing: The piece is weighed in grams or troy ounces on state-certified precision scales in front of you.

Selling Estate Jewelry in Chandler That Was Inherited

Inheriting estate jewelry can be an emotional experience, and figuring out what pieces are worth—or how to divide an estate fairly—can feel overwhelming. At Oro Express Chandler Pawn & Gold, we make evaluating inherited items stress-free and transparent.

If you inherited jewelry after the death of a family member, you don’t necessarily need to know what every piece is before bringing it to us. We can examine the individual pieces and explain what precious metal content we find, gemstones, markings and other factors that may affect the offer.

  • No-Obligation Verbal Appraisals: Bring the entire jewelry box in as-is. You don’t need to clean or sort anything. We will systematically test each piece right in front of you—separating real gold, silver, and platinum from costume pieces—at no cost.

  • Fair Family Division: If you need to split an inheritance among siblings or heirs, we can provide accurate cash valuations for each piece so everyone receives an equitable share.

  • Handling Mixed Estates: From mismatched gold earrings and broken chains to high-end certified solitaire diamonds, we assess every single item on its own merits so you don’t leave money on the table.
