The drive from Bayville up to our Brick counter
Route 9 does most of the work. North out of Bayville through Beachwood and South Toms River, over the river into Toms River, then stay with Hooper Avenue as it crosses the township line and becomes Brick Boulevard. Cedar Bridge Avenue meets it, and the store is a short turn away at number 921. Twenty to twenty five minutes outside the summer rush. When the lights on Route 9 stack up, the Garden State Parkway runs parallel and will usually beat it.
Coming from South Seaside Park is a different trip entirely: across the Thomas A. Mathis Bridge, west on Route 37 to the Parkway, then north. We keep weekday hours and close both weekend days, so pick a weekday, and call (732) 444-2094 first if you want to describe a piece before you set out.
What Berkeley Township households actually bring in
Berkeley Township was set off from Dover Township in 1875 and carries the name of John Berkeley, one of the two men handed New Jersey by the Duke of York. The western half is still Pinelands: Double Trouble State Park sits along Cedar Creek with its cranberry bogs and the preserved sawmill and packing-house village beside them. The eastern half is Bayville and the bay itself, and a narrow strip of the township, South Seaside Park, sits out on the barrier island above Island Beach State Park.
In between are the adult communities. Holiday City, Silver Ridge Park and their neighbors off Route 9 fill a large part of the township map, and that is who we see most often at the counter: couples downsizing out of a house they raised a family in somewhere further north, and adult children handling a parent's estate. Sterling flatware nobody sets a table with any more. A service pin from thirty years at one employer. Wedding bands from two generations. A drawer of chains. A cigar box of silver coins that has not been opened since the sixties.
How a downsizing lot is sorted before any number is said
None of it is dumped on one scale. The XRF analyzer reports each item's karat with no acid and no filing, and the certified scale sits where you can read it. Gold is split by purity, so 22K, which is 91.7 percent gold, never gets paid at the ten karat rate sitting next to it. Sterling, stamped 925, is kept well away from silver plate, because plate is worth very little and confusing the two costs somebody real money. Coins are read for date and mint mark before melt is mentioned. Diamonds are graded away from their mountings. Each pile is quoted, then the piles are added up in front of you.
For a whole house in Bayville or Pinewald, the estate buyers service covers house calls and probate paperwork, the New Jersey estate jewelry guide is worth reading before you pack a single box, and the silver page explains how sterling is told from plate.
Going through a parent's jewelry
“Friendly, thorough with helping my mom go through her old jewelry. Will stop by again in the future.”

What an old engagement ring is really worth
Two numbers add up to the answer. The stone is studied under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, and a GIA or AGS report counts in its favor if one exists. The mounting is tested and weighed as gold or platinum. Quoting them apart is what keeps a genuine stone from being paid as scrap metal. Loose diamonds, studs, and stones pulled from a setting years ago and left in an envelope are all worth bringing. The diamond buyers page and where to sell an engagement ring go further into it.
Which parts of Berkeley Township do we see?

Where is the closest gold buyer to Bayville and Berkeley Township?
Our Brick store at 921 Cedar Bridge Ave, 20 to 25 minutes north of Bayville by Route 9 and Brick Boulevard. It is a dedicated precious-metals counter rather than a pawn shop. Phone (732) 444-2094.
Can you tell sterling from silver plate?
Yes, and it matters, because plate is worth very little. Sterling carries a 925 or similar mark and is confirmed by testing, then weighed on its own rather than mixed in with plated flatware.
My parents are downsizing out of Holiday City. Do you look at everything?
Yes. Bring the whole lot, including pieces nobody thinks are worth anything. Each category is tested and quoted on its own, and for a full house we can arrange a visit instead.
Which days is the Brick store open?
Weekdays only. Brick is closed Saturday and Sunday. The posted hours are on this page and walk-ins are welcome any day the store is open.
Do I get to see how my gold is tested?
Yes. The XRF analyzer reading and the certified scale are both on your side of the counter. Nothing is carried into a back room and no piece is scratched or dipped in acid to be graded.
What paperwork do I need to sell in New Jersey?
Only a valid government photo ID. New Jersey requires every precious-metals buyer to record identification for each purchase. Receipts, boxes and appraisals are welcome but never required.
