This guy is 100% pure gold himself for the act of sharing the must know information with the public concerning buy/selling ,pricing, value of gold and gold jewelry items & products etc. Standing ovation for him because of the information he has freely given out! Any where or anyone else you would definitely have to pay for it! His act of sharing is caring is priceless!
Awwww Thank you for the wonderful comment👍
YEAH YOU BEEN GETTING RIPOFF UFFF FOR THE YEARS IN THE U.S CAUSE WHAT IS THE COST OF GOLD IN COLOMBIA PANAMA AND LATIN COUNTRY THEY WAY OVER PRICED WE PAY LETS SAY 100 FOR 10KT RING YOU WILL PAY THE TRIPLE.

@@ricardohenriquez1395 I do believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the price of gold anywhere in the world is the exact same price. If Cuban price of gold is higher, then you made more money selling it to the Cubans. I just don't get your point?
@Unknown G shotta just currency exchange rates right?
Selfless honest and kind = rare ,we do actually have these people here in the world; Easier to find cheaters,scammers and haters.
Thank you Roy

@@elm4nsuri Your Judgements are from a place bias my friend. What's your viewpoint is what your motivation/actions are as what you'd do in his shoes.

Best comment. 👍
Information bandwidth is really low. Gold guide for low IQ hamsters. Rotating same obvious things over and over.
💯
I’m not aa math person...but ratio and proportion is what you’re doing, and it’s mean x extremes...easier to see if you label it in the equation!
Gold is a currency. It is still by all evidence a premier currency, where no fiat currency including the dollar at it current state can match it.
I agree with you. It sure is and having watched this video thoroughly alongside considering the recent dip, I know for fact it's time to buy more. Excellent video for new stackers. I've been stacking for a while & learned from mistakes. Best suggestion I could give is to become familiar with the fundamentals and ask professionals for their opinion or better still earn passively and learn at your pace. Avoid getting in over your head
@@joecaruso06 Most people don’t plan to fail they fail to plan........
@joecaruso06 Yes I concur. The prominence of institutional or basic financial education and managers cannot be overstated. Markets are oceans not lakes. Take myself, having encountered my fair share of bad trades, I was able to realize how timing, capital, entry and a lot more are essential. Now, I have a $122k portfolio averaging a 12% monthly roi in less than a year following - Yvonne Annette Lively's guide so I do know the importance of basic knowledge and delegation.
@@Gregfreemann The Morgan Stanley investment advisor, Yvonne Annette Lively? Tate was with her on a JustFin podcast, right?
@@tommyfisher277 Just looked her up. Records are detailed but wouldn’t she sorta pricy for 12% m-roi?
I just wanted to say that it is extremely rare to find a person who selflessly shares knowledge,that can improve someone's ability to survive in a business climate that truly "chews up and spits out" honest and kind people. For once, its nice to not have to be guarded and cynical about jewelry and gold.
That's what I'm here for. Is to help and share my knowledge.😁👍
Took the words right out of my mouth! I've NEVER come across a gold/jewelery buyer that would share this knowledge - takes time and time is money. Also, the less the seller knows about it the better for the buyer. This is an excellent video! 😀

Did anyone know that goal is a rare Element because it can only be produced during one event, and that event is a supernova explosion when the sun has exhausted all of his hydrogen begins burning heavier elements until it runs out of any elements to burn and the force of gravity is so intense that it compresses the star down to its core and a massive explosion occurs doing this massive explosion the intense pressure of gravity causes all of these elements to be spewed out into the Galaxy are nickel copper Platinum uranium and of course gold. Man has been able to reproduce gold in the laboratory however it is extremely expensive and not cost-effective when you are modifying the atomic nuclei of an atom in order to get the appropriate atomic number for gold. I won't go into the details of atomic mass and atomic weight but that's the whole point it's all about the proton neutron electron configuration of an atom which determines what element and material will be. So just what I said gold is extremely rare and that's why it has such value it's a beautiful metal and it can only be created in the heart of a dying star.

Just remember that if your gold is a designer piece or has real gemstones. An auction or antiques dealer would probably be a better option than a gold shop.
True 👍
I'm British🇬🇧🇬🇧 I own 9ct Gold here I love your video, I do have to say iv even had 9ct jewellery handed down 3 or 4 life times it does not tarnish Quickly quite the opposite robust & sturdy no less.. I only have 24ct small bullion.. Alot of my Indian 🇳🇪 friends own alot of 24ct jewellery and it's forever breaking Bending, snapping beacuse of the high purity being softer
Hello British...Yes, 24k jewelry is nice and expensive, but makes for lousy sustainable jewelry. Thanks for watching and sharing. 👍
Also when I buy diamond rings I only buy GIA certificate if it's from a store with all the paperwork u get a good £800 to £900 on a £1300
My parents were into gold and diamonds. I used to hang out in jewelry shops in Hong Kong, Vientiane, Bangkok, Beirut and Amsterdam. Mom and dad used to have custom pieces made, nothing less than 18 karats but, not more than 22 karats. Though we have a piece of hand woven silk with about a 30cm x 1 miter of 24 karat beads: each of the thousands about twice the size of a grain of rice. All this sold off years ago, dad having passed a lot 21 years ago. I know quite a bit about hold and diamonds, as well as the quality and value if prescious stones. With all this said, I never had a better class or seen a better video on the value and quality on gold jewelry and metal than this one. You get an A+++ or, if if it was compared to the very finest of gold, you would be 99.999 pure! I don't consider owning anything with gold in it if it is less than 18 karats. Excellent video! Bravo! Thank you very much for this.
Thank you for your comment and for the information👍
Roy, u r worth 1000x ur weight in GOLD for the knowledge u shared in this video. I grabbed a notebook n backed up several times to correct my messy note taking & caught little comments (missed due to noise (dog barking, interruptions, etc.) Jewels that I would have missed!! Thank you for the wealth of Wisdom shared.

Thank you Mondo 👍
there's lots of youtuber outside sharing information but i can tell he's a genuinely nice just from watching this 1 video. subscribed
I appreciate you comment. Thanks for watching 👍
I learned these things over a 5 year period.It's exactly right,and it will be worth 1000's to listen to what this man tells you.Good info,not difficult to learn.
Thank you Kelesy 😁👍
Thank you for this wonderfully informative video. I grew up in Asia and 24k gold was the only gold I knew. My parents have always told me to treat 24k gold as money. They sneer at any gold that’s is less than 24k. When I came to the U.S, I realize how popular 14k is in jewelry. I prefer wearing 14k because it retains its shape unlike soft 24k jewelry. After watching your video, I have learned that next time I go to estate sales, I will buy solid gold jewelry pieces without embellishments because pawn shops won’t give me much or anything for the stone. I also need to buy a scale so I can find out the value of my existing gold pieces, especially 24k ones that my relatives gave me as wedding presents. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! 🥰
Glad you watched and if you sell your 24k jewelry....get the maximum amount. 😁👍
24K gold doesn't wear well. If you wear it as jewelry alloys hold up better. Also industrial standard is+/- 0.5 k of the marked quality. Guess what side of the marked fineness you get when you buy jewelry.
@Donald, in China we care only about 24k gold, nobody wants jewelry that is less than 24k..
Jewelry are status symbols, so wearing cheap gold doesn't work, it's also very easy to spot when something is less than 24k.. So people don't like to wear it... If you're going to show off, wear the real stuff....
@@kaimanyu586 I guess I never pay attention to what people are wearing and when you're just looking at a person you can't tell the difference between real or fake. I'm not materialistic.
Almost no jewelry is made if 24k
I’m so pleased I found you!!! You are brilliant at explaining it all and a hoot as well. My Gramps taught me about gold, silver and all the gems 💎 ratings, numbers, letters, etc. when I was a wee lass. No, he wasn’t a jeweller. He, along with my Da, invested well. I was investing, through them, by the age of 10. It’s astonishing to me how overpriced jewellery is in shops let alone people pay that price!! If you know the true value, you can spend properly.
Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. 👍
I'd rather listen to someone who grew up in and stayed with something to learn about it, than an "expert" that got some stupid degree from a university. Every time.
I appreciate you. Thanks for watching 👍
I’m so confused now, I’m going to take a nap and watch this again when I wake up, but only after I throw up for giving away the gemstones when I sold almost all my gold jewelry!
Oh don't think bad. Many gemstones are not worth a ton of money unless the were large and or near flawless. Many people dont know, so you're not alone. This is why I made the video. Thanks for watching!👍
@Sarah Renfrow: yes I learned that lesson the hard way too!
I was fortunate to find a very sympathetic jeweller who ""pulled my coat tail"" the same as ROY.
He told me to ALWAYS remove the gemstones before selling the gold, especially if the gemstones are genuine and worth some money. You'd be surprised and appalled at how some pawnshops get thousands of dollars when they've given you only a couple of hundred dollars for your jewelry.
Much like ROY here, he was a modest man and not a RIP-OFF ARTIST as so many pawn shops are. Good luck next time!
Most stones are really worthless to begin with so don't worry to much. Same as the gold. You paid the retailer mark up
I sold a couple of gold rings to the pawn shop that I bought off the streets...Dang!!!!
U r very honest person. God bless u.
Everyone that buys an engagement ring or wedding ring
Should watch this before they buy
Glad you watched and commented👍
Just buy silver bands and be done with it.
@@anorsegoddess9797 i guess you like paying more than something is worth.
It won't make any difference, the price will be the same. Jewelers are in business to make a profit. Commonly jewelers sell at "triple key" or three times their cost.
@@youtubecertified4643 What a piece is "worth" is what it will sell for to a willing buyer. There are basically five legitimate values for the same item. It depends on WHERE it's sold, WHEN it's sold, etc.
This guy knows his stuff about gold . Only thing I can say about the video is can he get a better sheet one that’s not all wrinkled like he just slept on it .
😆..lol...you are right.
Hello sir , from all the 2 days of searching around due to I found a ring on the floor with very little bit of markings and all the testing and pointers you have given me within a matter of 20 minutes I’ve learned in total lifetime. Thank you so much and keep those videos coming because the more you teach the more I learn and the richer I get thank you.
Thank you for watching and the wonderful comment. 😁👍
The answer on the value of jewelry when you’re trying to sell it is always........practical nothing, it’s only valuable when you’re purchasing it
That's so true...😁
Is watch consirdered a Jewlery?
@@asanijahbarriwentgordon1374 yes it is.
@@RKTreasureCenter watches can Apreciate . Rolex , patek or AP factory .
Not totally true. It depends on the piece, a well made heavy piece will sell for way more than crap from zelle
Pawnshop will usually sell 3Xs what it’s worth. So if they’re offering you $100 for a gold piece that means that they need to sell it for around $300. Stay away from pawnshops to sell any gold piece. But if you need a quick loan that’s a good place. Loans only.
So true👍
My dad used to own a pawn/buy&sell here in las vegas and he told me that for gold they wouldnt pay more then 35-40% of what the item was actually worth.but he always would start with a 30% offer and work up to 40.its a greedy business
SkyeLee what if you sell fake jewelry?? Will they still buy it for 100??
Great video! This guy is doing what would take most years to learn if they’re starting from scratch. Not a lot of people would take the time to teach people this kind of thing.

Awesome Comment! Thanks for watching and the kind words👍
I found an old wedding/engagement ring at an out of the way Antique store. The owner sold it to me for $40.00. (Business was slow and she needed the cash.) After cleaning and refreshing the ring, I noticed small print on the inside of its band. I took it to the jeweler to get a quote of its true value. Lets just say, I had to get the ring insured due to the high value of the diamond(s) setting abd high metal/gold value! (The jeweler even offered to buy it from me! I declined.) Today, I have a beautiful ring that I now wear as my wedding ring that could be the most expensive item I own next to my house and my car! BTW, I keep an open eye at thrift and antique store.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!👍

Word
There's a reason jewelry stores will take 10% down, and 0% interest for jewelry without a credit check. At 10%, you've already paid their cost.
So true👍
If you are just looking for raw material. ...... wait. Does that mean I’m undercharging?
Retail jewelry markup is generally 3x key.
The best value of gold jewelry is generally a gold chain, especially the heavier ones. Mark-up on other pieces is astronomical. You are paying for less common designs and, of couse the maker/designer has to make a buck and then the retailer is gonna bump up the price handsomely as well.
The old tricks of the 20th Century are dead pretty much. Let's put it this way, they're either dead outright or dying a slow death. Knowledge of how things are done are all coming out into the open.
i was literally just looking at your ebay store last week. great prices. i wasnt able tp purchase anything at the time but i was watching alot of it. thank you for the video! :) i love jewelry. im a mom of three and a jewelry collector. love gold and silver. designer made jewelry. or jewelry with history.

Here’s a lil info that might help you all. 😉 you can also use a magnet 🧲 to see what type of metal you have. If the magnet pick up your jewelry then you know for sure 💯 it’s ....... suspense 😝 it’s not Gold! So if it picks up your jewelry etc then it’s not gold material.hope this helps you all. When buying jewelry have a magnet great lil tool If ur at a garage sale etc.
Good comment thanks for watching👍
Exactly right luv!
Same with silver
Gold is not magnetic. ... Because solid gold jewelry is made from alloys that contain small amounts of alternate metals, your jewelry may still respond to magnetic pull. With items made of silver, but when they plate with the rhodium to stop tarnishing, they use a metal (can't remember what) in a thin layer to bind the rhodium to the silver which is magnetic.
If a magnet picks up the jewelry, it means it has IRON in it.
You never want IRON in your jewelry.
Roy, this video was awesome 😃👍🌟🌟

Thank you Nigel👍
Pretty good explanation of how to calculate gold value. Generally you should expect 50% to 75% of the actual value from a buyer or pawn shop. 80 to 90 percent of the jewelry taken in are scrapped and sold to a refiner at around 90% leaving the pawn broker or buyer a small profit of 20% or so.
Very true. Thanks for watching commenting and sharing.👍
So rings with real diamonds, like the ones in this video, would be good for full value then? As the buyer may also profit well from the diamond.
@@tomiadventures In ref to your question about diamonds. A diamond buyer will currently pay $85 to $110 a carat for clean mille. There is not much of a market for used diamonds between .20 ct and .45 ct. There is a market for diamonds at .5 ct on up. The real market for diamonds is 1ct above for clean, well cut, colorless, round brilliant diamonds.
100% is scrapped unless you are dealing with a pawn shop, who invariable scrap most of it. The weight isn't a great indicator of value since so much is rolled gold or hollow (plus full of crud) and many alloys are bad.
You can reuse decent metal easily and if you buy a piece that is hand made odds are it's excellent metal, good as bought metal. The good stuff doesn't et melted down so much though... learn about that if you want to understand the value end of the trade.
If a buyer pays 80% he's not getting 20% profit. He'll walk away with 5% unless it's a huge business taking in $100k a day. The pieces need to be dismantles, stones taken out and the refining process is complicated with about 10% loss.
God I hope nobody who watches this video walks into my store. I'll offer them less just because of the time wasted and potential for losing money.
A gold buyer bought a shop from me and I worked next door for a year and helped strip down his stuff. I reckon someone tried to scam him once a day. They need $500k work of tech just to keep on top!
@@PlatinumRatio There is profit to be made. The small things make a difference in the profit and loss columb. The little crappy tiny stones are worth about $90.00 a ct as scrap. Your better items you will want to retail to your customers or wholesale to a jewler. You should make double key on those. Chains are a good seller. A good refiner will give you a 98% of melt value. You do lose metal in the refining process, 14K gold scrap is usually closer to 12K and 10K is closer to 8K, You have to really check your stuff coming in carefully to avoid Gold Filled, Electroplate and gas staion gold. Any item coming in that has been sized has to be counted at a lower weigth since the solder is a lower Karat weight than jewelry out. On chains you have to discount the appx weight of the latches. I also sell scrap to customers without refining at Spot Plus. Instead of getting money for metal, I usualy trade it for gold or silver bullion which I sell direct to customers. You just have to think a bit outside the box to make a greater rate of return.

Thank you so very much for the information!! I happened to come across some beautiful old Gold and stone jewelry ( hidden in a house that my friend and I bought) brought it to the pawn shop and they wanted to buy it and was in a hurry to buy it all for 300.00 !! So I thanked them and felt like there was more to them than trying to help me!!!! So now I will deep into search to sell it myself with out being taken!!! So glad I came across your video!!!

Thanks 4 breaking that down i learned some good stuff & understood enough
2 know what I'm buying. GOD bless U.
Awesome thanks for watching and commenting👍
Oh, btw, wonderful video. Absolutely loved it. I wish you could give some hints about unhallmarked gold. There’s a lot of it around too, as so many people remelt their jewelry. My mother did that constantly. So don’t necessarily throw away unhallmarked pieces!
Good sharable information. Thanks for watching. 👍
I've never seen non-hallmarked jewellery that isn't junk metal and I've seen a lot that is fake... and I've seen 100,000 pieces go through gold buyers. It's a shock to discover how much cheating goes on with cheap sellers and 2nd hand sellers are worse. A lot of shady characters are attracted to easy money, whereas established jewellers will never chance it - not once in their whole career.
Best thing to do is get a jewelry acid testing kit and learn hot to scratch test the gold. I have had some pieces that were stamped 14k that were more like 8k
Great video, no bull, straight to the point ☝️
Thank you. 👍
Thank you for passing on the knowledge and wisdom that took you years to earn. We appreciate you!
That's what I am here for. Passing on my knowledge to better others👍
Awesome video Roy! I have learned so much in 25 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you Keith👍
