Let’s explore the different types of gold you can buy or sell—and how to get the most from every transaction.

Why Understanding Types of Gold Matters

Gold is sold in various purities, colors, and compositions—each with different value, wearability, and resale potential. Whether you’re offloading old jewelry or shopping for a statement piece, understanding what you’re dealing with ensures you don’t leave money—or quality—on the table.

For residents in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, and surrounding communities, this knowledge can make a real difference. The gold you inherited or bought years ago may be worth more than you think, or may not be as pure as it appears.

At Golden Anvil Jewelers, we believe in full transparency. We educate you on the spot about what you have and what it’s worth—backed by decades of experience evaluating precious metals and luxury timepieces.

Core Types of Gold You Can Buy or Sell

Not all gold is solid, pure, or even valuable on the resale market. Here’s a breakdown of what’s out there—and what you need to know when buying or selling gold in Jupiter, FL.

Solid Gold Jewelry: Carats & Color Explained

When most people think of gold, they think of solid gold jewelry. But solid gold varies greatly depending on its purity, measured in karats (K):

• 10K Gold (41.7% pure) – Affordable, durable, great for everyday wear.
  
• 14K Gold (58.3% pure) – Most popular in the U.S., a great balance of value and durability.
  
• 18K Gold (75% pure) – Higher-end, softer, richer color.
  
• 22K & 24K Gold (91.6% – 99.9% pure) – Mostly used for investment or cultural pieces; not ideal for everyday jewelry due to softness.
  

At Golden Anvil Jewelers, we evaluate and purchase gold jewelry of all karats. Whether you're holding onto an old 14K bracelet or considering purchasing an 18K gold chain, we walk you through its value and long-term potential.

Color Variants: Yellow, White, and Rose Gold

The color of gold is determined by the metal alloys mixed with pure gold:

• Yellow Gold – Classic and timeless, alloyed with copper and zinc.
  
• White Gold – Mixed with palladium or nickel, often rhodium-plated for a bright finish.
  
• Rose Gold – Romantic hue from copper alloys, increasingly popular in modern jewelry.
  

Each color has unique appeal and resale demand. We regularly help customers in Abacoa, Jupiter Farms, and Juno Beach understand how color and composition affect their jewelry's market value.

Gold-Plated, Gold-Filled, and Vermeil

It’s important to distinguish gold-plated items from solid gold. These are lower-value options often confused with genuine gold:

• Gold-Plated – Thin layer of gold over base metal. Minimal resale value.
  
• Gold-Filled – Thicker than plating, more durable, but still not solid gold.
  
• Vermeil – Sterling silver with gold plating. Better than standard plating, but not highly valuable for resale.
  

Golden Anvil Jewelers provides honest evaluations for these items. We explain the differences clearly, so you understand whether a piece is worth reselling, repurposing, or simply enjoying as-is.

Gold Coins and Bars: Investment-Grade Gold

If you're holding onto gold coins or bars, you're likely dealing with bullion—high-purity gold used for investment:

• Coins – American Gold Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Krugerrands.
  
• Bars – Produced by mints like PAMP Suisse, JM Bullion, or the U.S. Mint.
  

While we primarily focus on gold jewelry and luxury watches, we can often assist or refer you for reliable appraisals or trade-in options if you’re looking to move gold bullion in the Jupiter area.

Rare Color Variants & Specialty Alloys

In addition to the common types, you may encounter:

• Green Gold – Alloyed with silver, pale and subtle.
  
• Black Gold – Created through special plating or coating.
  
• Blue Gold – A mix of gold and indium or gallium.
  

These are more exotic and typically seen in custom or designer pieces. If you own or are interested in something unique, our team can help assess its market and material value.

As a family-owned jewelry store serving Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, and nearby communities, we provide evaluations that are fair, honest, and free from pressure.

Here’s what sets our service apart:

In-Store Evaluations by Experts

Bring in your gold jewelry—rings, necklaces, bracelets, or even loose items—and we’ll walk you through:

• Carat testing using industry-standard tools
  
• Weight assessments using certified scales
  
• Visual inspections for craftsmanship, condition, and potential designer value
  

We’re transparent from start to finish, ensuring you understand how your gold’s purity, design, and weight affect its worth.

Convenient Trade-In Toward Certified Luxury Watches

Have gold jewelry you no longer wear? You can trade it in toward one of our certified pre-owned luxury watches, available both in-store and online. Many customers in Jupiter Inlet Colony, North Palm Beach, and surrounding areas use their gold to upgrade into brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tag Heuer.

It’s a smart way to turn idle value into wearable prestige.

Local Trust, Family Values

As a third-generation business, we prioritize long-term relationships over quick sales. Whether you're a seasoned investor or selling your first gold item, you’ll experience the difference a trusted local jeweler makes.

What to Look for When Buying or Selling Gold

Whether you're shopping for a gift or thinking of cashing in old jewelry, understanding key gold traits can help you make informed choices.

Look for Hallmarks and Stamps

Gold jewelry should be stamped with purity marks like:

• “10K,” “14K,” “18K,” “22K,” or “24K”
  
• “417,” “585,” “750,” “916,” or “999” (European numeric format)
  
• Designer or manufacturer logos (for premium valuation)
  

If you’re unsure, we’ll help verify authenticity and purity right in our Jupiter store.

Understand How Alloys Affect Value

The color of your gold isn’t just aesthetic—it reveals alloy types that impact:

• Durability (white gold often harder than rose)
  
• Market demand (yellow gold is timeless, rose gold is trending)
  
• Resale potential (solid gold retains more value than plated)
  

This is especially important when evaluating inherited or vintage pieces, where purity isn’t always clear.

Bring the Right Items & Documents

When selling gold in Jupiter, bring:

• Your gold items (clean and untangled)
  
• Any available receipts, certificates, or boxes
  
• Valid ID (required for most gold transactions)
  

We’ll take care of the rest and explain each step in simple, clear terms.
