Has anyone here sent your gold off to one of those mail in places?

I would not send mine through the mail either, but gold is at an all time high right now. I would and am thinking of going to a high priced jewelry store though and selling off my broken and unwanted jewelry. I would suggest that you ask them to buy the diamond separate and the gold too. Because most places won't give you anything for the stone just the gold usually. If they won't then get it back and just sell the gold. But if you need the money then by all means sell it. I would. Unless you want to give it to your child at a latter date for their wedding. If you can manage to do without selling it. You could go and just ask what they would give you for it. Also you don't have to take the first price either. Just so you know.
