Glencoe residents: get a same-day gold appraisal in Wheeling with clear pricing and no pressure to sell.
Why Local Sellers Choose AD Jewelry
To sell gold profitably, it is important not only to get money, but also to understand how the price is determined. We build trust on honesty and transparency in the transaction.
- Same-day payout. You arrive, find out the exact amount, and receive your money on the same day — with no delays or waiting for transfers.
- Accurate testing (XRF + acid test). We determine the purity with an X-ray fluorescence analyzer and, if necessary, confirm with an acid test — the result is as accurate as possible.
- Transparent pricing versus spot. We explain how the current market price affects your calculation.
- Friendly, no-pressure service. There is no pressure from our side: the appraisal is free, and the decision is yours alone.
- Private counter. The appraisal process takes place at a separate counter — confidentially and calmly.
- Professional reputation. For over ten years, we have served clients with coins, bullion, and jewelry, and we greatly value long-term relationships.
What We Buy
We purchase almost anything that contains gold — from everyday jewelry to investment coins.
- Rings, chains, bracelets, earrings — new, vintage, or damaged.
- Broken / mismatched pieces. Single earrings, broken chains, clasps — paid for by purity and net weight.
- Scrap gold. Scrap, remnants from jewelry repairs, pieces.
- Gold coins and bullion. Investment coins, collectible pieces, bars of various weights.
- Watches with gold elements. We calculate the percentage of gold in the case or links.
- Items with stones. Stones are evaluated separately — they are carefully appraised or removed to calculate the net weight of the gold.
Even if your item does not look like jewelry, it may contain valuable metal. Bring it to us, and we will perform a free appraisal.
How It Works
We have made the process as professional and clear as possible for customers — like a mini-consultation with an expert.
- Step 1 – Bring your items (ID required). Bring your items and a government-issued ID — this is a requirement of Illinois law.
- Step 2 – Testing & weight. We perform a visual inspection, determine the purity with an XRF analyzer, use an acid test if necessary, and weigh the net weight. You can see the scale and the results on the screen. The appraisal is free, with no obligation to sell.
- Step 3 – Same-day payout. If you agree, you get the money immediately, in cash or by check. The amount is based on the purity, net weight, and the current spot price. For coins and bullion, the condition and rarity are taken into account.

What Affects Your Payout
The amount of your payout is determined objectively and transparently:
- Karat purity. The higher the purity (24K, 18K, 14K), the purer gold there is and the higher the rate per gram.
- Total (net) weight. The weight of the pure metal is important, without accounting for stones or inserts.
- Stones/removal. Stones are evaluated separately; you should not remove them yourself.
- Market (spot) price. The price of gold on the market changes daily; we use the current quote at the time of the transaction.
Advice: If you need to have gold decorated with stones appraised, do not remove the stones yourself — this will preserve the integrity of the item and make accurate appraisal easier.
