Did your 1st boyfriend ever buy you a gift? A token of his undying love for you, his first love.  Maybe it wasn’t that serious but you may have passed a holiday or two together, in turn collecting these tokens and quickly stashing them away in your jewelry box.

It might be time to get those out!

A customer came into the store today, intrigued by the record breaking rise in gold prices, and inquired about the worth of a few items she no longer found a use for. We were happy to go through her pieces with her  and after testing and weighing each piece we quoted the bunch at over $1,000.00. She hestitated for a moment, remembering where she recieved one of the rings from. She went on to tell us this story:

“My first boyfriend made gold teeth. I assumed this would be of high karat content because he used the extra scrap to make me this ring, etching our initals into the top and gifting it to me for a birthday. He still makes teeth to this day. We’re still in touch.”

Romantic? You decide.

Memories of your jewelry and the history behind each piece last forever. The high price of gold may not. Our customer decided to cash in her old gold and make new memories with Mom, “I’ve been meaning to take my Mom to London and this is just the cash I need to make it happen.”
