Sell to Us · Gold Jewelry · Mission Viejo
Fifty years of anniversaries is a lot of gold.
Mission Viejo households have been accumulating gold since the first tracts sold in the 1960s: anniversary bands, chains bought on vacations, the ring upgrades whose predecessors never left the drawer, and usually a few coins in the same box. When downsizing finally opens that drawer, most families have no idea what the pile weighs or what weight is worth, which makes them easy customers for the wrong kind of buyer.
We make the numbers visible. We are the team behind Old 44 Vintage in San Juan Capistrano, buying from our Laguna Hills warehouse ten minutes away, and a Mission Viejo gold visit is simple: karat test and scale on your table, the day's price on the screen, our percentage stated before the weighing starts. Signed and stone-set pieces come out of the pile first and get priced as jewelry. Cash before we leave, and no obligation if the number does not suit.
What Mission Viejo drawers hold
Anniversary and wedding gold
Bands, upgraded rings, and the chains of long marriages. Weighed transparently, with sentimental pieces never pressured onto the scale.
Broken and orphaned pieces
Kinked chains, single earrings, watch cases. The scale does not care about condition, and neither does our math.
Coins and small collections
The eagles and Krugerrands bought as gifts decades ago, priced against the day's spot price piece by piece.
Pieces worth more than weight
Signed jewelry, antique settings, and good stones get pulled aside and priced against the jewelry market, where the number is usually better.
Ten minutes away, all of Mission Viejo
From Casta del Sol and Palmia to the original Deane homes and the lake neighborhoods, we cover all of Mission Viejo within days of a call, often same day. Gold is frequently chapter one of a larger downsizing, and we are glad to look at the rest of the house in the same visit, jewelry boxes, furniture, the garage. Text photos to (949) 449-1255 for a same-day read on whether the drawer justifies a visit.

Common questions
Should I sort the real gold from the costume jewelry first?
No, and please do not guess. Plated and solid look identical to the eye, the difference lives in stamps and testing, and guessing wrong in either direction costs you money. Bring the whole tangle and we will sort it at the table, in front of you.
Is now actually a good time to sell gold?
Gold has traded near historic highs recently, which genuinely favors sellers, but we will not pretend to know next month. What we can promise is that whatever the day's price is, you will see it on the table and watch the math happen against it.
What about my parents' coins mixed in with the jewelry?
Bring them. Common bullion coins price cleanly against spot, and older or collectible coins can carry value above their metal, which we check before quoting. Nothing gets blended into a vague lot number.
Know what it’s worth before you sell.
Our field guides explain how the market actually prices these things. No fishing, no hype: real ranges and the details that move them.
One call. We’ll take it
