scrap gold

Jewelry for melting

Scrap gold is gold in any form valued only for its metal content, not for craftsmanship or design.

Old jewelry, dental work, broken chains, and obsolete electronics all become scrap gold when sold to refiners or dealers who melt it down: We sold grandma's mismatched earrings as scrap gold.

The price depends on weight and purity.
