Broken Jewelry Still Has Real Value

We buy scrap and old jewelry in any condition from homeowners and collectors in Twin Falls, Idaho.

When you bring scrap or old jewelry to Twin Falls Gold and Silver in Twin Falls, you see every step of the evaluation before any offer is made. We buy broken, outdated, tangled, or single earrings regardless of condition. The metal content is what matters, not the style, appearance, or whether the piece is intact. Your scrap jewelry is tested and weighed in front of you on certified scales, and we explain the purity, weight in grams, and how the current spot price determines what you receive.

Scrap jewelry is valued based on metal content, not appearance. Gold purity, measured in karats, and silver fineness are tested in front of you using acid or electronic testing equipment. Items are weighed in grams using certified scales for accuracy and clarity. Pricing is based on the current market spot price at the time of evaluation, and you receive a clear explanation and a no-obligation offer on the spot. You decide whether to accept with no pressure or urgency from our team.

If you have old or broken jewelry sitting in a drawer in Twin Falls, bring it in to see what it is worth.

What Happens During a Scrap Jewelry Evaluation

When you visit our location in Twin Falls, you hand over your scrap jewelry and we test each piece to verify its karat or fineness. We use acid testing or electronic testing equipment to confirm whether your jewelry is gold, silver, or another metal. After testing, we weigh everything on a calibrated scale and show you the total weight in grams. We then explain how that weight converts to troy ounces and what the current spot price means for your total offer.


We buy broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, tangled necklaces, outdated brooches, and any other jewelry made of gold or silver. Missing stones, clasps, or parts do not affect the value, as we are purchasing the metal itself. This process applies to every piece you bring, whether it is one item or a full collection, and you receive the same level of detail and clarity regardless of the quantity or total value.

Most People Have These Same Questions

People often wonder whether broken jewelry is worth anything, how missing stones affect value, and what happens if they are not sure what metal their jewelry is made from. These are practical concerns, and the answers help you understand what you have before you sell.

What if my jewelry is broken or missing parts?
We buy scrap jewelry based on metal content, not condition. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and items missing stones are all valued the same way as intact jewelry of the same metal and purity.
How do you determine what metal my jewelry is made from?
We test each piece using acid or electronic testing equipment to confirm whether it is gold, silver, or another metal. We also check for karat markings or fineness stamps, but we test everything regardless of markings.
Does missing a stone or clasp affect the value?
No. We are purchasing the metal itself, not the appearance or completeness of the piece. Missing stones, clasps, or other parts do not reduce the value of the metal content.
What if I have tangled necklaces or chains?
Tangled jewelry is not a problem. We test and weigh the metal regardless of the condition or appearance. You do not need to untangle or clean anything before bringing it in to Twin Falls.
How quickly do I get paid after I accept an offer?
You receive payment immediately after you accept the offer. There is no waiting period or delayed processing.
