Most gold earrings come to us one at a time: a lost partner, a broken hoop, a stud that no longer has its back. A single earring is still gold, and it’s worth exactly what its gold is worth. At Benadato we weigh and test your earrings in front of you, price them on today’s spot price and grade any stones separately. If you accept the offer, you’re paid the same day.
Single, Broken or Mismatched Earrings
You don’t need a pair to sell. Single earrings, bent hoops, snapped posts and earrings with missing stones are all priced by weight and purity, the same as a perfect piece. Small pieces add up, so bring every earring you no longer wear, along with backs, posts and any other small gold pieces. If you have a bag of broken gold, our page on how to sell scrap gold explains how mixed lots are priced.
How We Price Gold Earrings
Karat
The stamp is usually on the post or on the back of a hoop: 10K, 14K or 18K, or 417, 585 or 750. On small earrings it can be worn or missing, so we test every piece with professional equipment while you watch.
Weight
Earrings are light, so we weigh them in grams on a calibrated scale, in front of you.
Diamonds and Gemstones
Diamond studs and gemstone earrings are priced on the gold and on each stone. Michael Nedler, our GIA accredited since 1981, grades them during your visit. When the diamonds are the main value, see sell diamond earrings.
The Maker
Signed earrings from Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari and David Yurman are valued as jewelry and often earn more than melt. Original boxes and papers help.

What Are Gold Earrings Worth?
Start with melt value: weight in grams, times purity, times the spot price per gram. 14K is 58.5% gold and 18K is 75%. If earrings aren’t resalable, we pay 67% to 95% of melt value, depending on the weight and nature of the pieces. Wearable pairs and designer earrings often earn more. For the current price per gram of every karat, see sell your gold. To estimate your own pieces first, read how much is my gold worth.

Straight shooters, which I appreciated.
Incredibly professional and knowledge. Great experience all around!
I had a wonderful experience at Benadato Trading Co. Yossi was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. Previously, I took some jewelry to a jewelry store and received a bid. I gave Yossi the same items, and his bid was higher, thus demonstrating his honesty. Not only did I feel comfortable the entire time I was there, It was an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highest rating.
Absolutely phenomenal service. The entire process was professional to a degree that you feel when you are shopping in couture stores. Yossi and his staff all introduced themselves, I felt comfortable, respected, and the offer was beyond what I even expected to receive. Tip: go to the elevator inside and go to the 5th floor!
Gold Earring Selling FAQs
Can I sell a single gold earring?
Yes. A single earring is priced on its weight and purity, exactly like a pair.
What can I do with broken gold jewelry?
Sell it for its gold. Broken pieces are priced by weight and purity, and there’s no need to repair them first.
How much can I sell my earrings for?
It depends on the karat, the weight, any stones and the maker. Plain gold earrings start from their melt value, while diamond and designer earrings can be worth much more.
Do you buy gold-plated earrings?
Gold-plated jewelry has only a thin surface layer of gold, so it usually has little value. Gold-filled pieces contain more gold, and for those we can pay after refining.
