Cleaning gold jewelry is best done with household cleaner and a toothbrush, as the brush is gentle enough not to scratch and the cleaner is just strong enough to remove dirt and debris. Keep gold jewelry clean at home with information from a bench jeweler and gemologist in this free video on jewelry.

I have been looking at selling some old and broken gold jewelry. I have looked at the websites of several places you can mail your gold to. The prices beat pawn shops. How much can I expect to get per ounce of 14k gold and has anyone had any good or bad experience in selling their gold?

When selling used gold jewelry, clean the piece, get the gold weighed and appraised, and advertise in the newspaper, at flea markets or on the Internet. Consider selling gold jewelry on consignment through a jewelry store using advice from a jeweler in this free video on buying jewelry.

I’ve got a bunch of old gold jewelry pieces that I want to melt down and pour into mold.
Erm I wouldn’t really recomend you doing it at home. Different qualities of gold take different heats… and most likely since its old jewelry pieces it will have impurities. Most all golds do. (plus you need your own purifying "beads") To remove impurities you need a carbon stick. I would go to a jewelry repair shop and ask them to melt it down, get the impurities out for you. Then you come to the problem with the mold… no matter how perfect and how simple it may seem you need tons of tools to shave it down and shine it up. Coming out of a mold it looks extremely dull almost brown and dirty. If you go to a good enough shop, they may give you further instructions on how to finish melting it down at home. OR be safe and bring your mold to them and let them do it. You can’t do a good job justice at home.

I don’t want to walk blindly into a jewelry store that advertises that they buy gold jewelry without having some kind of idea of what to expect. I figure I should go to several and then pick the best price, but I don’t know anything about gold pricing, etc.
Have the jewelry appraised first. Then go to several places with your appraisal in hand. You might also want to consider selling it yourself. Post on Craigslist or other free classifieds, list on ebay or put an add in your local newspaper.

I would like to sell some 14K gold jewelry that I have. In total, the weight is about 4 ounces. What would this sell for if I were to sell it to a jeweler, pawn broker or gold buyer. Thank you
Hello!
Price for gold bullion is about $1000. 14K jewelry is slightly more than 50% pure gold, so, 4 ounces of 14K should be worth about $2000 for meltdown value. Expect to pay a commission (which varies) for the transaction. Don’t be afraid to ask a gold buyer what your gold is worth, get a second opinion, too and sell to the highest bidder!
I am getting grayish or black marks where I wear the bracelet or ring. What would be the reason that gold jewelry leaves a black mark on skin?
No offense but you are getting those marks because you have cheap gold jewelry. Ask any jeweler, he will tell you the same thing. Stay above 12k gold and you will not have the problem.
