About Precious Metals and Gemstones

At New York Gold Rush, our passion has helped us become experts in fine jewelry, gold, and other precious metals; but we understand you may not be. That’s why we’ve included the information below to help educate our customers about precious metals and how we help GET YOU CASH.

GOLD

Most gold jewelry is marked or stamped, so that consumers can easily identify the quality. Jewelry made in North America is typically marked with the karat  -- 8kt, 10kt, 14kt, 18kt, 22kt or 24kt -- while jewelry made in other countries may be marked with fineness -- .585 for 14kt, .417 for 10kt, and .750 for 18kt.

In jewelry, karat grade is used to express the proportion or purity of gold, with pure gold defined as 24 karats. In terms of color, yellow and white are most common, but gold can also be green and rose-colored.

PLATINUM

Platinum, like gold, commands high prices because of its rarity. In jewelry, platinum is typically made with 90 percent platinum and 10 percent alloys from other metals.

In order to differentiate platinum from white gold, which has a similar silvery-white appearance, it is typically stamped with Plat950, 950, PT950, Platinum, PLAT, 5%Irid.-Plat, 10%Irid.-Plat, or Iridium Platinum.

SILVER

Silver is a brilliant white, lustrous metal. Whether you have silver jewelry or serving pieces, there are several markings common to authentic silver, including Sterling, Sterl., 925, 950, 965, 999, 999 Fine, or Fine Silver.



If you’re unsure of the authenticity of your items, don’t worry. At New York Gold Rush, every item is tested by experienced appraisers with current, precise testing equipment to correctly identify the metal and purity.

And, our evaluations are FREE. If you simply want to know how much an item is worth, send it to us and we’ll send you the cash value within 24 hours. Then, you can decide if you want the cash or the item.
