Turn Tangled or Damaged Gold Chains Into Instant Cash
Do you have gold chains that are tangled, broken, or damaged? Even if they are twisted, kinked, or missing clasps, they still hold real monetary value. At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers in Orange County, we specialize in buying damaged, tangled, and broken gold chains, offering private, professional, and high-payout evaluations.
Why Sell Damaged or Tangled Gold Chains?
Many people mistakenly think their gold loses value when it is tangled, kinked, or damaged, but the truth is:
1. Gold is Valuable Regardless of Condition
Broken links or clasps
Tangled necklaces or chains
Chains with missing pendants or stones
All of these can be evaluated, weighed, and paid for at market value, often yielding top-dollar cash payouts.
2. Free Up Space and Unlock Cash
Many Orange County residents store tangled chains in jewelry boxes or drawers for years. Selling these chains can provide:
Emergency funds
Cash for new investments
Extra money for personal projects
3. Avoid Low Offers From Pawn Shops
Pawn shops or general retailers often undervalue damaged chains. At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers, we provide scientifically verified evaluations to guarantee you receive the highest payout possible.

Tips for Selling Tangled or Damaged Chains
1. Collect All Chains
Even tiny, tangled, or broken chains add up. Don’t discard small pieces—they have value.
2. Separate by Karat
If you know the karat (24K, 18K, 14K), separating pieces can speed up evaluation and maximize payout.
3. Don’t Try to Untangle or Repair
Professional evaluation ensures chains are priced at full market value, rather than losing money by attempting home fixes.
