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 for those that might inherit your gold.

Gold rings are one of the most popular items to be sold for cash, and a lot of class rings are 10k or 14k gold. There are certainly cheaper versions out there, including brass and silver (which are worth considerably less), but if you have a gold or platinum class ring, you could get some nice value out of it. Depending on the makeup and size of the ring, it can fetch hundreds or even over a thousand dollars (in rare cases).

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!

Mens’ class rings tend to be worth a little more than womens’ class rings because they are typically larger in size. It all comes down to the weight of the piece, as it’s directly related to the gold and other precious metals that compose the piece. But factors like purity are just as important when it comes to pricing.

The accurate value of your class ring can only be determined after it has been expected by a professional to verify its quality, weight, and purity.

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.
