How Selling Works
- Bring your items to our Arden Way or Madison Avenue showroom. Selling a large collection? Call ahead and we'll make time for you.
- We test and weigh gold in front of you and evaluate diamonds and watches with you present.
- Get a clear offer based on today's market price, karat, weight and condition, and we explain how we arrived at it.
- You decide. Accept the offer, or put the value toward something new with a trade-in.
What California law requires when you sell: as a licensed secondhand dealer, we must record a currently valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license, state ID card or U.S. passport), your fingerprint, and your signed certification that you own the items or are authorized to sell them, and we report purchases to the California Department of Justice as required by law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 21628).
How to Read Gold Karat Stamps
Look on the clasp, inside a ring or on the back of a pendant. Unmarked pieces are common, especially with handmade 21K and 22K gold, and we can test them.
| Stamp | Karat | Gold Purity |
|---|---|---|
| 417 / 10K | 10K | 41.7% |
| 585 / 14K | 14K | 58.5% |
| 750 / 18K | 18K | 75.0% |
| 875 / 21K | 21K | 87.5% |
| 916 / 22K | 22K | 91.6% |
| 999 / 24K | 24K | 99.9% |
Tips to Get the Most for Your Gold, Diamonds or Watch
- Sort by karat if you can. It makes the evaluation faster and more transparent.
- Bring paperwork: diamond grading reports, watch box and papers, and receipts can add value.
- Don't polish or repair first. Over-polishing a watch case can reduce its value.
- Consider a trade-in. Upgrading your engagement ring or watch? Ask how a trade-in compares to selling. See our return & trade-in policy.
Why Sell to Ralph's Jewelers
We're an established Sacramento jeweler with two luxury showrooms, not a pop-up buyer. We know fine diamonds, high-karat 21K gold and Swiss watches, and we treat every customer with the same respect, whether you're selling a single earring or an entire collection.
