Ask for the item's stamp and get it weighed in front of you. Gold and silver pieces should carry a karat or fineness stamp (10K, 14K, .925, etc.), and a reputable shop will test and weigh the piece on a scale you can see rather than quoting a price from across the counter.

Good to know

Do pawn shops buy gold jewelry?

Yes — gold and silver jewelry is one of the most common items pawn shops buy and loan against, since it has a clear resale value tied to metal weight and purity. Shops typically pay a percentage of melt value, not retail or appraised value, especially for pieces without notable brand or gem value.

Is it cheaper to buy jewelry from a pawn shop than a jewelry store?

Often yes, since pawn shop jewelry is priced off resale and melt value rather than retail markup, and much of it is secondhand. Prices still vary a lot by shop and item, so it's worth checking a piece's weight and stamp against current gold prices before buying.
