We all have it—tangled gold chains, single earrings missing their pair, or outdated jewelry that no longer fits our style. Maybe it’s broken, inherited, or something you simply haven’t worn in years. So what should you do with your broken or outdated jewelry?

You might be surprised to learn that those forgotten pieces could be worth more than you think. At PGS Gold & Coin, Chicago’s trusted jewelry and precious metals buyer since 2008, we help people just like you turn old jewelry into instant cash—safely, respectfully, and with no pressure.

The Hidden Value in Broken or Outdated Jewelry

Even if it’s damaged, unfashionable, or missing stones, jewelry made of gold, silver, or platinum retains real value. Precious metals are always in demand, and their worth comes from weight and purity—not appearance.

What you can sell:

  • Broken gold or silver chains
  • Single earrings
  • Bent or worn rings
  • Outdated designs or styles
  • Jewelry missing stones
  • Scrap gold or silver from repairs

Can It Be Repaired or Repurposed?

If a piece holds sentimental value, it may be worth repairing or redesigning. But if it’s just collecting dust, ask yourself:

  • Will I ever wear this again?
  • Do I even like the style anymore?
  • Is it worth fixing—or worth selling?

At PGS Gold & Coin, we’ll help you decide if a piece is more valuable as-is, as scrap, or as a potential resale item.

Why Selling Old Jewelry Makes Sense

  • It’s no longer useful but still valuable
  • Gold and silver prices remain high
  • It can fund something meaningful—a vacation, home project, or even new jewelry
  • It’s a chance to declutter and cash in
