Turn Your Scrap & Broken Gold into Instant Cash in Irvine

For over 22 years, our family-owned business has been serving the Irvine and Orange County community with private, professional appointments and accurate testing using advanced tools like the ThermoFisher Scientific Niton™ DXL Precious Metal Analyzer. Whether it’s broken chains, mismatched earrings, or old gold coins, we ensure you get the highest payout possible.
