Sell Class Rings

Class rings may sound like a fun idea at the time, but chances are a few years later you might value having the cash a little more than an expensive token from your graduating class. Plus, they’re personal, so if you receive one as a gift or inheritance, class rings will probably not have much sentimental value.

Gold rings are one of the most popular items to be sold for cash. Depending on the quality of the ring, they can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Typically, old class rings are sold and melted down when they get old, worn, or unimportant, then recast into new jewelry. It’s unlikely you’re going to want buy John Smith’s 1992 class ring at a pawn shop. But if it’s melted down and turned into something new and great – or just turned into a gold bar – then it’s something of value again. That’s where we come in!

Calculating the Value of Class Rings

The actual value of your gold ring is determined by three primary factors: purity of the gold, karat weight of the piece, and the current spot price of gold. You can read in more detail how gold pricing works, or use our gold value calculator to determine the approximate value of simple items.

Purity

Purity is the percentage of gold in any piece of metal. 24k gold is pure gold, while 12k gold would actually be 50% gold. The purity has a direct proportional impact on pricing, so a 24k gold ring would be worth double a 12k gold ring, all else equal.

Karats/Weight

The amount of gold is also important in determining the value of your ring. The heavier the ring, the more gold contained in it. There is a direct proportional impact on pricing, so a ring weighing 0.4 ounces would be worth twice as much as one weighing 0.2 ounces.

Spot Price of Gold

Lastly, the current value of gold is a major factor in the price of gold. Once it’s determined how much pure gold your ring contains (using purity and weight), that number needs to be multiplied by the current spot price of gold. We have the current price of gold on our site here.
