How much is a gold bracelet worth?
Most bracelets are 14K. Bangles bought in India or the Middle East are often 22K. A light bracelet often weighs 5 to 10 grams and a heavy link or bangle 15 to 40 grams.
What a buyer takes off
- Stones, as in a tennis bracelet.
- Steel springs in the clasp, and steel cores in some bangles.
Can it be worth more than its gold?
Tennis bracelets with real diamonds, and signed designer bracelets, can be worth more to a jeweler.
Before you sell
- The stamp is usually on the clasp. Bangles are stamped on the inside.
The weights above are typical, not yours: weigh your own piece in grams. A kitchen scale that reads to 0.1 g is close enough for a first estimate. Then compare two or three written offers as a percent of melt. Seewhat a fair price is.
