There's a drawer in your house that hasn't been opened in years, and it has gold in it. A broken chain. A single earring whose pair is long gone. A class ring nobody is going to wear again. A bracelet that snapped and never got fixed.

Most people leave that drawer alone because they assume broken means worthless, it doesn't!

Broken gold is still gold. Weight and purity drive the value, and both of those survive a snapped clasp.

You don't need to fix anything. You don't need to clean anything. You don't need an appointment. Bring the drawer. We'll handle the rest!

Free appraisal. GIA certified buyers. No obligation to sell. Walk in any time Monday through Saturday.

Need a watch repaired? A lot of watches end up in drawers because they stopped running, not because anyone wanted to retire them. A stuck movement. A dead battery that sat too long. A bent crown. A worn gasket.

Most of it is repairable. All of it is done in-shop, here on Metcalf. Nothing gets shipped out.

Father's Day is two and a half weeks out. A serviced watch he hasn't worn in a decade is a better gift than anything in a box.

Walk in any time Monday through Saturday and we'll take a look. Quotes are free. GIA certified buyers on staff if you want it appraised at the same visit, no appointment, no obligation.

Most people with a coin collection in the have no idea what's actually in it. They know the coins are old. They know some might be silver. Beyond that, the value is a guess.

That guess is almost always wrong, in one direction or the other. A few coins worth knowing about:

Walking Liberty Half. The right one can run up to $4,700.
Seated Dime. Can reach up to $6,500.
Draped Bust Dollar. Up to $100,000 for the right piece.

Most coins are not those examples. That's fine. The point is that you can't tell by looking, and you don't need to. We do that part!

Free appraisal. GIA certified buyers. No appointment, no obligation. Walk in any time Monday through Saturday.

A fair gold offer is built on three numbers: weight, purity, and current spot price. If any one of those gets skipped, that could be a red flag.

Weight is straightforward. We use a calibrated scale and we let you watch the reading.

Purity is the karat: 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K. We test it. Acid testing, electronic testing, sometimes both. Plated and gold-filled pieces look like gold but aren't worth the same, and the test is the only way to know the difference.

Spot price is the live market value of an ounce of gold. It changes every day. Anyone giving you an offer without referencing today's spot may not be giving you a real offer.

Our buyers are GIA certified. If you have a bag of broken chains or a piece you've been meaning to ask about, bring it in. We'll walk you through what it is, what it weighs, and what it's worth at today's market.

How to get an honest appraisal on inherited jewelry? An accurate appraisal of inherited jewelry is not a guess at a counter. It's a process with specific steps.

When someone brings in a piece from a parent or grandparent, the first thing we do is identify the metal and test for purity. Weigh the piece on a calibrated scale. Examine any gemstones, diamonds are graded for cut, color, clarity, and carat using the GIA standard. Note maker's marks, hallmarks, era, and condition.

Reference current spot prices for any gold or silver content. Then walk you through what each component is worth. That last step is the one that matters. You should leave knowing not just a number, but how we got to it.

Free appraisals. No appointment. No obligation!

An appraisal value is not a sale price. They are two different numbers, and the difference matters. When someone hears "this ring is appraised at $8,000," they often assume that's what a buyer will pay.

An insurance appraisal is a replacement value. It tells your insurance company what it would cost to walk into a retail store and buy a comparable piece new. That number is supposed to be high.

A fair-market appraisal is what a willing buyer and willing seller might agree on in a sale. A wholesale buy price is what a professional buyer pays. It is based on metal weight, gem quality and clarity, condition, current spot price, and demand.

Our buyers are GIA certified. When we evaluate a piece, we explain what each component is worth, gold weight, diamond grade, brand, condition, and how we arrive at the offer.

You've driven past our building more times than you can count. Most people in Overland Park have. Metcalf is one of those roads everyone in KC ends up on eventually.

We're the jewelry store on the corner. Locally owned, family run, here since 1979.

Selling gold in Kansas City isn't complicated. But it does matter who you take it to!

Gold has been climbing for a while now, and a lot of people around Kansas City are holding pieces that are worth more than they were two or three years ago.

That doesn't mean you have to sell. It just means it's worth knowing what you have!
Broken chains, single earrings, old class rings, scrap pieces, jewelry you just don't wear anymore, bring it all in. Free appraisal, every time.

A chain has a script, and Precious Metals is not that. A local jeweler has a counter, a loupe, and time to talk. When you bring something to us, you're across the counter from Phillip, David, or Carlos. Not someone who got handed a clipboard last week. We test in front of you, explain what we're seeing, and tell you what it's worth in today's market. Sell, don't sell, think about it for a while, all fine!

GIA certified buyers. On Metcalf since 1979. Real names, real faces, real expertise.
That's the difference.
