I've been picking up gold jewelry at auctions and yardsales when the price is right and have amassed a decent amount that I got on the cheap.



The stuff that is solid karat gold is straight forward enough to sell, but some of the pieces have small (tiny) diamonds. Does anyone have any experience in selling scrap jewelry with these little diamonds, and if so how does it effect the value compared to spot?

For instance I have a pair of 14k earrings that have 8 little diamonds on each earring. The pair together weighs 3.1 grams. Just trying to figure out what a fair price would be for stuff like this. Assume scrap value only since a lot of it isn't in condition to resell as wearable jewelry.

Thanks for any input you can give.
