Hey /b/ I have a broken gold chain and am low on cash. I don't know shit about jewelry and just wanna get the most money out of it. It's a gold chain my dad gave me but broke when I accidentally knocked it off my nightstand and onto a power strip. Electricity and gold don't match I hear. It's still in good condition just beyond repair. Can get pics in a few if needed
Actually electricity and gold mix very well. Gold is highly conductive.

thank you mister obvious

Well when my necklace fell on top of the power strip it somehow snapped and warped a little and it's blackened around where it snapped. Pretty sure I heard a buzz, I was half asleep which is why I was clumsy

pics, weight (grams) and what the tiny stamp says (if you can find one)

Where would this stamp be at?

normally around the connector part, if it has a jewel it might be on the base of it.

gonna need a stamp to find out the price (stamp indicates karat and if it is gold filled or plated)

Not finding a stamp. The chain has the design pictured which makes it hard to etch something. The chain also had an eagle pendant with it, I'm assuming also gold. I wanted to keep it for when I can afford another chain. Anyways, I can't find any kind of etching anywhere

can you see the inside? if you can, is it gold inside? if it is, it might be worth $154.28 (not sure if AUD or USD) if it is silver it'd probably be like $20 max.

If no etching/hallmark then not gold.

It all looks gold to me. The inside it looks more gold. It seems to have a fade (it's 20 years old or so, that might play part) but towards the center it's even more golden
>>663453079
Hold onto it until summer when the gold price rises
It's fucking peanuts at the moment. Look at stock you dick then decide best time to sell it
> mfw it's a shitty small chain anyway so you'd be lucky to get like 60 for it and have it resold to you for 200

That fade is probably just light reflecting though, my phone's flashlight is the best thing available
>>663453775
if you truly can't tell, go to an expert to see if they know. be careful though, some a fucking scammers that'll etch away lots of gold and say it isn't gold
>>663452538
broke fucker with a digital scale
that's odd
>>663453979
I had to replace the clasp a few years ago and I went to some guy who also melts gold down. He charged me like $30 for parts and labor. For that little clasp which isn't even gold at all I bet. I hope he didn't fuck with it in hopes he could scam it off me one day, he was kind of a quiet dude. Might be the type to fuck me over

There's fancier scales than digital? I use this for weed lolol>>663454583
