Why Superior Residents Sell Jewelry at YML Refinery
Most jewelry buyers in the Superior area offer 40–60% of melt value. Pawn shops use acid testing that estimates karats rather than measuring them precisely. Mall kiosks have high overhead built into every offer. YML Refinery uses XRF equipment — the same technology used by refineries — to measure exact gold content to the decimal point. That accuracy lets us pay more.
We buy all conditions: broken chains, single earrings, worn clasps, bent rings. We buy all karats: 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K. We buy all metals: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, silver, platinum. Superior sellers make the 65-minute drive because the difference in payout is consistently significant — often $50–$300 more than local alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine jewelry value near Superior?
We weigh the piece and test it with XRF equipment to determine exact metal content and karat. We then apply the current live spot price for that metal. We pay 80–90% of the resulting melt value for gold, 70–80% for silver. Call (623) 974-3772 for a phone estimate on specific pieces.
Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?
Yes. Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, clasps without the necklace — condition does not affect the metal value. The gold or silver content is the same whether the piece is wearable or not. We buy it all.
What's the difference between YML Refinery and a pawn shop near Superior?
Pawn shops use acid testing which estimates karat and typically offer 40–50% of melt. YML Refinery uses XRF testing for exact purity and pays 80–90% of melt. On a $500 melt-value piece, that's a $150–$200 difference in cash. We also buy items pawn shops often decline — single earrings, small broken pieces, mixed lots.
Do you buy designer or branded jewelry?
We buy designer jewelry based on its precious metal content. Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, and similar brands may have additional resale value beyond melt — we evaluate each piece individually. Call (623) 974-3772 to describe what you have.
