Why Carefree Sellers Choose YML for Platinum
Platinum is rarer and denser than gold — a small piece can be worth significant money. Most jewelry buyers in the Carefree area don't specialize in platinum and use generic estimates. At YML Refinery, every platinum piece is tested with XRF equipment that identifies the exact alloy (Pt950, Pt900, Pt850) rather than guessing from hallmarks that may be worn or missing.
We pay based on the actual platinum content at live spot prices — not a flat "platinum price" that discounts your piece. Carefree sellers consistently receive 80–90% of melt value. The 38-minute drive from Carefree to Youngtown pays for itself many times over compared to local jewelry stores or mall kiosks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my platinum jewelry worth?
Platinum value is calculated by weight × purity × spot price. A 5-gram Pt950 ring at $1,000/oz spot is worth roughly $153 at melt — we pay 80–85% of that, around $122–$130. Platinum spot fluctuates daily. Call (623) 974-3772 for a current estimate based on what you have.
How do I know if my jewelry is platinum or white gold?
Look for hallmarks: platinum pieces are typically stamped "Pt950," "Pt900," "PLAT," or "950." White gold is stamped "14K," "18K," or "750." If the hallmark is worn or absent, our XRF machine identifies the exact metal in seconds. White gold and platinum have very different values — it's worth confirming before you sell.
Do you buy platinum coins and bars near Carefree?
Yes. We buy American Platinum Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and platinum bars from refiners like PAMP, Valcambi, and Credit Suisse. Bring any documentation you have, though it's not required — we verify purity independently.
Is the drive from Carefree to YML Refinery worth it for platinum?
Almost always yes. On a meaningful platinum item, the difference between a local jewelry store (60–70% of melt) and YML Refinery (80–90% of melt) on a $500 melt-value piece is $50–$150 cash. At 32 miles from Carefree, the drive pays for itself. Call first for a phone estimate: (623) 974-3772.
