Why Professional Gold Testing Matters

Gold is a valuable asset, and the amount you receive for your jewelry, coins, or bullion depends on purity, weight, and authenticity. Misjudging these factors can lead to significant financial loss. With Glitter Bug Gold Buyers’ professional gold testing and authentication service, you can be confident that every item is evaluated correctly:

  • Exact Karat Testing: Determine the precise karat of your gold jewelry or coins.

  • Purity Verification: Confirm whether items are solid gold, gold-filled, or plated.

  • Non-Destructive Analysis: Our advanced testing methods preserve the integrity of your jewelry, unlike acid or scratch tests.

  • Luxury Watch Authentication: Ensure authenticity of high-end timepieces from Rolex, Cartier, Omega, and Patek Philippe.

We provide full transparency so clients see how values are calculated, allowing you to make informed selling decisions.
