How do you get from Beachwood to the Brick counter?
Atlantic City Boulevard, which is Route 9, is the way out of town. Follow it north through South Toms River and Toms River, then either stay on Route 9 or slide over to the Garden State Parkway and come off at Brick. The store is at 921 Cedar Bridge Ave, with parking at the door. Budget about twenty minutes, and more on a summer weekend when shore traffic is heading the same direction you are.
Starting down by the water? Beachwood Boulevard runs up from the beach and meets Route 9 in a few minutes. Brick trades Monday through Friday and is shut both weekend days, so this is a weekday errand. If you want a question answered before you spend the drive, call (732) 444-2094 first.
From a 1914 river colony to year-round streets
Beachwood was laid out in 1914 as a summer colony promoted by the New York Tribune, which offered lots near the water to its subscribers, and it became a borough in its own right in 1917. The little cottages built on those lots were never meant for January. Families winterised them anyway, stayed, and raised children here, and the borough settled into the roughly eleven thousand year-round residents it has now, with Jakes Branch County Park on one side and the Toms River widening toward Barnegat Bay on the other.
That history shows up on the counter. A house held by one family since the cottage days rarely has a safe. It has one deep jewelry box: a wedding band, a confirmation chain, a class ring, a couple of sterling serving pieces, and a coffee can of change nobody ever sorted. Condition does not decide the money. Karat and weight do, which is why a snapped chain and one orphaned earring are worth precisely the gold inside them.
What happens to a mix of gold, silver and loose change
Each piece goes under the XRF analyzer, which confirms the karat without acid and without scratching anything, and then onto a certified scale you are standing in front of. The box is broken into karats, so an 18k pendant is never quietly paid at the 14k rate. Sterling is lifted out from the plate it was stored with. Change is read for date, mint mark and condition before melt is mentioned at all. Stones are graded away from the metal holding them. What you hear at the end is one total with every part of it named.

What a seller who did not know what he had came away with
“I recently brought some old jewelry into this Brick store. I wasn’t sure what I had but the owner was awesome. He was very knowledgeable & super fair. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get some money for old or unused jewelry Thanks Cash 4 Gold !!!!!!!!!!!”
— Dennis Pizzarelli, five-star Google review of Cash 4 Gold Trading Post in Brick
A ring is two things, and both get paid
The stone is examined under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, with a GIA or AGS report if one exists and without one if it does not. The band is tested and weighed as metal. Valuing them apart is the whole point: it is how a real diamond avoids vanishing into a scrap-gold figure. Studs, loose stones and tennis bracelets are treated the same way. There is more on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.
Which parts of Beachwood do we hear from?
All of them. The borough is barely two miles across: the streets down by Beachwood Beach, the length of Beachwood Boulevard, the Route 9 side of town, and the blocks backing onto Jakes Branch County Park. Neighbors in Pine Beach, South Toms River, Berkeley Township and Toms River drive the same road north.
What does a Beachwood seller usually carry in?
Usually one box and sometimes a jar. Pick a category to see how it is checked before you make the drive.

Where is the nearest Cash 4 Gold Trading Post to Beachwood, NJ?
Our Brick store at 921 Cedar Bridge Ave, Brick, NJ 08723, reached from Beachwood by Route 9 north through Toms River and then the Garden State Parkway, roughly 20 minutes. Phone (732) 444-2094.
Is the Brick counter open on a Saturday for Beachwood sellers?
No. Brick trades Monday through Friday and is closed both Saturday and Sunday, so plan a weekday trip. Walk in any time the store is open; no appointment is taken or needed.
My grandmother's cottage jewelry is old and tarnished. Is it worth bringing?
Yes, and leave it tarnished. Cleaning can scrub away the karat stamp or the maker mark that decides whether a piece is worth more than its metal. Tangled, snapped and single items are all bought.
Can you tell me whether a piece is real gold before I sell it?
Yes, free. The XRF analyzer reads the exact karat without acid and without scratching the piece, and you see the reading. Plenty of Beachwood sellers come in only to find out what something is and take it home again.
Do you buy the loose change and old coins that turn up in a Beachwood attic?
Coins are checked for date, mint mark and condition before their metal value is ever discussed, so a scarce one is not sold by weight by mistake. Common silver is then weighed like any other metal.
What do I have to bring with me?
A valid government photo ID. New Jersey law makes every precious-metals buyer record one for each sale. Bring everything you are considering, including the pieces you suspect are costume.
