What We Buy
As an experienced gold buyer in Aventura, we purchase just about anything made of precious metal. You do not need to know exactly what you have before you come in. Bring it all and we will sort through it together. Here is what we buy every day:
- Gold jewelry in all karats: 8K, 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K
- Broken or damaged gold including single earrings, bent rings, tangled chains, and clasps

- Silver and platinum jewelry, flatware, and coins
If you are an estate jewelry buyer handling a loved one's collection, we can appraise an entire box of mixed pieces in one visit. We have worked with families settling estates many times and we handle every piece with care and respect.
How Our Process Works
Selling gold at Gavco is simple. The whole process takes about 10 to 15 minutes for most items. Here is exactly what happens when you walk in:
Step 1: Walk In With Your Items
No appointment needed. Just bring your gold, jewelry, or watches to our store on Biscayne Blvd during business hours. We are open Monday through Friday 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm.
Step 2: Free Testing and Appraisal
We test every piece right at the counter where you can watch. We use professional acid testing and electronic karat testers to determine the exact purity. Then we weigh each item on a calibrated digital scale. Nothing happens behind closed doors.
Step 3: Get Your Offer
We calculate our offer based on the current live gold spot price, the karat purity, and the weight. We explain every part of the calculation so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number. No guessing, no mystery math.
Step 4: Get Paid on the Spot
Accept the offer and you get cash or check right then and there. No waiting days for a bank transfer. No mailing your jewelry to some warehouse. You leave with money in your pocket the same visit.
If you decide not to sell, that is completely fine. You take your items home and you owe us nothing. The appraisal is always free.
Why Gavco Pays More for Your Gold
Not all gold buyers offer the same price. When you sell gold near me at a pawn shop or one of those pop up "cash for gold" events at a hotel conference room, you are usually dealing with a middleman. They buy from you at a low price and then resell to a refiner for a profit. That middleman markup means less money in your pocket.
At Gavco, we work directly with refiners because of the volume we handle. That relationship, built over 30 plus years in the business, means we can offer you a higher percentage of the gold's melt value. Most customers receive between 70% and 85% of the spot melt value depending on the item type and quantity.
We also do all testing in house. We do not send pieces out to a lab and wait for results. Our team has decades of hands on experience evaluating gold, gemstones, and fine watches. That expertise means accurate assessments and fair offers every time. It is why we have maintained a 4.9 star rating across more than 1,139 customer reviews.
What Affects How Much Your Gold Is Worth
Three main things determine what you will get when you sell gold in Aventura:
Karat purity. Pure gold is 24 karat. Most jewelry sold in the U.S. is 10K or 14K, which means it is mixed with other metals for durability. A 14K ring is 58.3% pure gold. A 10K ring is 41.7% pure gold. Higher karat means a higher payout per gram. We buy all karats, and yes, even 8K gold has value.
Weight. Gold is measured in grams or troy ounces. A thin chain weighs less than a heavy bracelet, so it will be worth less even if both are the same karat. We weigh everything on a calibrated scale right in front of you so there are no questions.
Market price. Gold prices change every day based on global markets. When you see headlines about gold hitting new highs, that is a good time to sell. We base every offer on the live spot price at the time of your visit, so you always get a fair rate tied to the real market.
