Your Gold Selling Guide
Sell Your Gold With Confidence in Snellville
Understand what you have, how we evaluate it, and what your options are, with clear answers and no pressure.
Whether you have a broken chain, jewelry you no longer wear, or pieces passed down through your family, the first step is a conversation. At Van Adams Jewelers, we take time to explain the process so you can make a decision that feels right for you.
A Familiar Name. A Lasting Commitment.
Our family’s jewelry-business roots began with Ann’s Jewelry in 1985. From that small shop to our landmark showroom in Snellville, one lesson has stayed with us: treat customers with the same care and respect you would your own family.
When you bring us your gold, you are speaking with an established local jeweler. We care about more than a single transaction. We care about the relationship, the questions you bring, and the confidence you feel when you leave.
What Happens When You Visit
We Look Together
Tell us what you have and what you are considering. We start by looking at your pieces with you and listening to your questions.
We Explain the Offer
We explain the evaluation and how the gold content, weight, and market price contribute to an offer. You do not need to know the terminology before you arrive.
You Decide
Take time to consider your options and ask questions. The decision to sell is yours, and we respect it.
Transparency You Can See
Your complimentary evaluation takes place in front of you. We explain what we are looking at, answer questions about the assessment, and walk you through the offer before you decide.
We verify your gold’s purity through a two-step process using acid testing and electronic testing with a gold-testing pen. We explain both steps and what the results mean, so you can understand how purity factors into your offer.
You should feel comfortable asking how your items are tested, how stones or other components are accounted for, and how the offer is calculated. Clear explanations matter more than complicated formulas.
Before agreeing to any testing or alteration, ask what it involves. If something is unclear, we want you to ask.

Your Jewelry Deserves Consideration
Not every piece you no longer wear is a piece you are ready to part with. An inherited ring, a gift, or a well-worn necklace may carry memories that matter more than its gold content.
Tell us which pieces are sentimental. You can ask about keeping, repairing, or redesigning them before choosing to sell. A signed piece, antique, watch, or significant gemstone may also warrant a different kind of evaluation.
Sometimes selling is the right next step. Sometimes a new design is. A good conversation helps you explore the possibilities.
A Few Questions Before You Visit
What should I bring?
Bring the pieces you would like us to look at and a valid government-issued ID. If you have receipts, certificates, or other information about an item, bring those along too.
What if a piece is broken or missing its match?
A broken clasp or a missing earring does not tell you how much gold an item contains. Bring those pieces along and ask our team to assess them.
Do I need an appointment?
Call us before your visit if you would like to arrange a time or have a larger group of items to discuss.
How does payment work?
Before accepting an offer, ask our team to explain the available payment methods and timing, along with any requirements that apply.
Can I put the value toward something new?
Ask about trading eligible items toward a new purchase. Our team can explain the available trade-in offer and any terms before you decide.
Bring Your Questions. Bring Your Gold.
You do not need to arrive knowing what your jewelry is worth or whether you want to sell. Start with a conversation and leave with a clearer understanding of your options.
