We utilize expert assaying services to determine the types and quantities of different metals in an item. We use state-of-the art X-ray fluorescence analysis to determine the metal type and percent of total. We can identify elements of 26 different metals, including gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead among many others. Only Alhambra Precious Metals provides the most accurate assessment of your items’ metal content thereby giving you the highest amount of money when selling gold, silver or other unwanted precious metals.
We Buy Gold, or Platinum Jewelry, and GIA certified gems. Many people are unsure of how to sell their unwanted jewelry. They would rather not sell it if it meant having to go to a grungy pawn shop with unsavory proprietors. At Alhambra Precious Metals, we provide an upscale, transparent, fair, and discreet environment for individuals, or estates, to liquidate unwanted precious metals. We test items using x-ray fluorescence analysis that will show all the metals in your items and the exact percentage of each. No appointment is needed.
Individuals
Alhambra Precious Metals buys all types of unwanted gold jewelry, platinum jewelry, etc. The condition, brand, or design is not important as we simply buy it for its precious metal content. As such, our process to determine the value is based upon purity, weight and the spot price of gold or platinum. We use x-ray fluorescence technology to determine the percentage and type of metals in each and every piece. The test results tell us the precious metal purity of your items. We weigh the items in front of you, on government certified scales and we use the spot price of gold, or platinum at that very moment to determine the value of your items. The process is fast and transparent. We explain everything we are doing each step of the way. A few items will only take 5-10 minutes from start to finish. And we encourage you to ask any questions you may have – we are happy to explain the details.
Estates
We assist probate attorneys, estate lawyers, and estate executors with the valuation and/or liquidation of items containing precious metals.
Many estates find it easier to liquidate jewelry rather than trying to divide it up among the beneficiaries. Nevertheless, we often perform estate valuations for jewelry, coins, silverware or other items. Our turn around time will depend up on the number of items and the type of service needed, but usually can be done in 1-3 days.
