Sell Estate Gold & Jewelry in Orange County
Discreet, High-Value Estate Liquidation With a Trusted Orange County Buyer
When you’re handling an estate, inherited jewelry, or a family collection, you need a buyer you can trust completely. Someone who offers privacy, compassion, transparency, and the highest payouts—not a pawn shop, not a jewelry store that guesses, and not a place that wants to rush you.
At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers, we specialize in estate gold and estate jewelry buying across all of Orange County and South OC. Whether you’re selling a single 18K ring or an entire multi-generation collection, we provide a safe, professional environment and an accurate evaluation using the ThermoFisher Scientific Niton™ DXL Precious Metal Analyzer, the industry’s leading gold testing machine.
Estate items often carry stories, emotions, and high monetary value. We handle both with care.
Why Estate Jewelry Requires a Specialist Buyer
Estate gold and jewelry collections are different from everyday gold selling. They often include:
Multiple karats (24K, 22K, 18K, 14K)
Antique and vintage pieces
Designer or signed jewelry
Gold chains and bracelets from various decades
Vintage solid gold watches
Mixed metals that require precise testing
Coins, bullion, and collectible items
Family heirlooms with sentimental value
Items needing authentication
A normal jewelry store or pawn shop simply isn’t equipped to properly evaluate a full estate. They often guess purity, ignore high-value pieces, or offer a lump sum far below true market price.
Estate sellers deserve the opposite:
➡️ Clear testing
➡️ Fully transparent breakdowns
➡️ Real market-based payouts
➡️ Private, respectful service
And that’s exactly what we provide.
Private Office. Zero Pressure. Accurate Testing. Highest Payouts.
Your experience begins in our private office, not a retail environment with customers watching. Estate selling often involves family decisions, sentimental emotions, and expensive items—it should never be done in public.

Why Families Choose Us for Estate Liquidation
For most families, selling inherited jewelry is not just a transaction—it’s the final step in closing a chapter. Many pieces were purchased decades ago, passed down from loved ones, or discovered in safe deposit boxes. You need a buyer who respects the emotional weight of the moment while giving you the financial value the estate deserves.
Here’s what families appreciate most:
1. No pressure. No obligation.
You can bring everything in, get the evaluation, and sell only what you choose.
2. Transparent testing with your full view.
We test each item in front of you with the ThermoFisher Scientific analyzer.
3. Honest education if you have mixed items.
Many estates contain both fake and real items—we identify everything clearly.
4. The highest payouts in the county.
We pay based on real market pricing, not lowball pawn shop numbers.
5. We help you identify designer pieces.
Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, Van Cleef & Arpels—many estate sellers don’t know they own valuable signed items.
6. We buy everything in one appointment.
No need to visit multiple buyers. We evaluate and purchase the full collection.
