Cash for gold, we buy gold, sell your gold here. There are tons of marketing campaigns that assume we all have gold to dump or are perhaps addled enough to accept pennies for our old earrings.
Rose Diamonds, in Springfield, MO, is hoping to offer its clients a less famous alternative to the gold selling fad. They are offering an innovative gold trade-in program. The little scraps of gold in the bottom of your jewelry box can now be turned into something beautiful again.
"Gold recycling at Rose Diamonds is a pretty straightforward process," says Jennifer Choi, Graduate Gemologist (GIA). "There are four basic steps."
Step 1: Gather single earrings without partners, "bad relationship"
Step 2: Look through fashion magazines, catalogs, the internet, etc. to get design ideas. Don't feel like researching?
Step 3: If you're short on stones or gold, we can fill in the difference. You can use any excess gold to offset labor charges.
Step 4: Finalize new jewelry design. It will be ready in less than a week. We do the whole process from start to finish on site. Stop in and you can watch.
"Our goal is to make what was old and wasted, new and useful again. Jewelry says a lot about your personal style. No one wants to wear the same dress to a party, so why would you want to wear the same jewelry?"
Rose Diamonds Custom Design and Repair is open from 9-7 Monday-Saturday
