Oct 21

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Where can I sell my gold jewelry?” or “What is my silver worth today?”, this post is for you. At Everglow Jewelry, we’re actively buying gold, silver, and platinum at some of the highest market prices in history — and we make the process simple, transparent, and fair.

Precious Metals at Historic Highs

2025 has been a banner year for precious metals:

Gold recently surged past $4,300 per ounce, setting new records. Reuters+2Reuters+2
Silver has also rallied wildly, breaking past $52 per ounce in October — marking gains of over 60 – 70% year-over-year. Trading Economics
Platinum is on a tear too: up more than 60% year-to-date, rising from supply deficits, industrial demand, and renewed investor interest. International Banker+1

In short: gold, silver, and platinum are in extremely favorable territory for sellers.

If you’ve ever considered selling broken jewelry, outdated pieces, or even scrap metal — now is one of the best times in many years to do so.

Why Sell to a Trusted Local Jeweler (Not Just Any “Gold Buyer”)

When you search for “sell gold near me”, “cash for silver jewelry”, “where to sell platinum”, or “jewelry buyer in Tampa”, here’s why you should stop in at Everglow Jewelry:

We’re transparent & local
No opaque formulas or confusing fine print. You bring your gold, silver, or platinum jewelry to our Tampa showroom. We perform onsite testing, give you a real-time offer, and you walk away with cash, check , or store credit (highest payout) if you accept.
We pay competitive market prices
Because metals are at record highs, we make offers based on live spot prices minus fair refining or processing margins. You won’t be stuck getting “scrap rates” years-old dealers might quote.
No middlemen, no shipping hassle
Many online gold buyers require you to ship your jewelry, wait for evaluation, and hope the offer holds. At Everglow, everything is handled in-house — faster and safer.
Alternative options: refinishing, redesign, or trade-in
If you don’t want to fully cash out, you can trade-in your gold, silver, or platinum toward a new piece with us. Or ask about custom redesign, where we melt and reuse your precious metals in a new design. You might only pay for the design/labor, not the raw material.
Full-service capabilities
We don’t just buy your metal — we can also clean, polish, refurbish, re-purpose, or appraise your remaining pieces. If you decide to keep something, we can restore it beautifully.

What You Can Sell (and What We Accept)

We accept a wide range of items made of gold, silver, and platinum, including:

Broken or mismatched rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets
Dentures, dental gold, or miscellaneous scrap (if legal in your jurisdiction)
Platinum wedding bands, platinum jewelry
Silver flatware, sterling silver items, silver coins or medallions
Platinum or gold jewelry with stones
Old class rings, jewelry from estates, unwanted heirlooms

Before you come in, make sure to gather any paperwork, hallmarks, or previous appraisals you have — it helps speed up the process and may increase your offer.

Questions You’re Probably Asking

“How do you determine the value?”
We test purity (karat), weigh the metal, and apply a fair refining margin that accounts for labor and processing. The higher the purity, the better your payout.

“Do I need to polish or clean my jewelry first?”
No — we’ll evaluate it in its current state. Polishing may remove metal or risk damage, so we prefer to assess the raw piece you bring in.

“Is it safer to wait longer for even higher prices?”
Maybe — metals markets can go up or down. But when prices are at multi-year highs, timing the absolute top is risky. If you were going to sell anyway, earning a premium now is a strong option.

“Can I use that money toward a custom piece?”
Absolutely. Many customers bring in old gold or platinum and allocate the full credit toward a new custom design, wedding band, or upgraded jewelry.
