At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers in Laguna Hills, we believe every customer deserves the most accurate, honest appraisal for their precious metals — because accuracy means more cash in your pocket.

While many gold buyers still use old‑fashioned acid scratch tests — messy, slow, and often only approximate — we’ve invested over $20,000 in the most advanced technology in the industry to ensure you get the true, tested value of your gold and silver.

Why It Matters to You

We use the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ DXL Precious Metal Analyzer, trusted worldwide

for professional, precise gold and silver analysis.

In simple terms, this machine:
✅ Tells the exact karat (K) of your gold jewelry
✅ Quickly shows if an item is solid gold or just gold‑plated
✅ Measures the real content of silver, platinum, and other precious metals
✅ Works in seconds, right at our counter, with no chemicals, scratches, or damage to your items

How It Benefits You Directly

• Higher payouts: The more accurately we know the real gold and silver content, the better we can pay you — on the spot.

• No guesswork: You see the results on a bright color touchscreen, so you know exactly what you have.

• Safe & nondestructive: Unlike acid testers that can burn your skin, stain clothes, or damage jewelry, this analyzer is gentle and completely chemical‑free.

• Fast & transparent: You don’t have to wait days or weeks for a lab or fire assay; you see the results live, right in front of you.
