How to Sell Broken or Scrap Gold and Get the Highest Payouts
Many people have old, broken, or scrap gold sitting around — rings without stones, tangled chains, mismatched earrings, or incomplete bracelets. While some sellers assume these items are worthless, every gram of gold has value, and selling them correctly can yield significant cash payouts.
This guide covers:
Why broken and scrap gold is valuable

The step-by-step process to maximize payouts
1. Why Broken and Scrap Gold Still Has Value
Even if your jewelry is:
Missing stones
Scratched or bent
Tangled or incomplete
…it still contains pure gold, which is priced by karat and weight.
24K gold: pure gold, 99.9%
22K gold: 91.6% gold
18K gold: 75% gold
At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers, every piece is analyzed with the ThermoFisher Niton™ DXL XRF analyzer, so you are paid accurately for every gram and karat.
2. Common Mistakes When Selling Broken or Scrap Gold
