How do you get from Far Hills to our Middlesex store?
Head south on Route 202 out of the borough and into Bedminster, where it meets I-287. Take 287 south through Bridgewater to the Route 28 exit for Bound Brook, then follow Route 28 east through Bound Brook and into Middlesex. The store sits on Bound Brook Road at number 748. Outside rush hour it is about 20 minutes door to door.
The Gladstone Branch trains that stop at Far Hills station do not run anywhere near Middlesex, so driving is the practical way in. The counter is open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday, and the full hours are listed further down this page.
What a Far Hills jewelry box tends to hold
Far Hills broke away from Bedminster in 1921 and counted 924 residents in the 2020 census. The United States Golf Association has kept its headquarters and museum here since 1972, in a Georgian house on Liberty Corner Road, and every October the Far Hills Race Meeting fills Moorland Farm with steeplechase racing and tailgates. It is horse and hunt country, and what families keep here reflects it.
Estates from the Somerset Hills are rarely one broken chain in an envelope. More often it is a crest or signet ring handed down a generation, a sterling trophy or julep cup engraved for a win, gold cufflinks and stickpins, a charm bracelet hung with small gold horses and riding boots, and a canteen of flatware from a dining room that seated twelve. Each of those is judged in its own way, which is what the next section covers.
How engraved trophies, crest rings and cufflinks are valued
An engraved name or date does not lower the value of sterling or gold, because the metal is what is being bought. A cup or trophy marked sterling is 92.5 percent silver. If the base is weighted with filler, only the silver shell is counted, and the XRF analyzer shows which parts are silver and which are not. Pieces marked EP or EPNS are plated and carry almost no metal value, and you hear that before anything else.
Crest and signet rings are often 18K, which is 75 percent gold, or 14K at 58.5 percent, and older English rings may be stamped 9 or 15 carat. Every karat is weighed apart, so a heavy 18K ring is never averaged down with lighter 10K pieces. Cufflinks, stickpins and signed jewelry are checked for maker marks first, since a signed pair can be worth more as jewelry than as metal.
For a full silver chest or a house to clear, the estate buyers service covers house calls and executor paperwork, and the silver buying page explains sterling, coin silver and plate in more depth.

Somerset Hills rings, stone and setting judged apart
An inherited engagement ring or an anniversary band from the Somerset Hills often carries an older cut, and it is judged on its own terms rather than marked down for not looking modern. Each diamond goes under magnification for carat weight, cut, color and clarity, and a GIA or AGS report strengthens the offer where there is one. The platinum or gold mounting is tested and weighed separately, so you are paid for both halves of the ring. The diamond buyers page has more.
Which parts of Far Hills and the Somerset Hills do we hear from?
The borough is small: the village blocks around the station, the Route 202 frontage, and the roads out toward Liberty Corner. Far Hills shares the Somerset Hills school district with Bernardsville and Peapack-Gladstone, so sellers from here often come with neighbours from those towns, and from Bedminster and Bernards Township next door.
What do Far Hills sellers bring down I-287?
Gold of any karat, sterling, platinum, diamonds, coins and watches, whole or broken, engraved or plain. Open a category to see how that kind of piece is judged before you make the drive.

How far is the nearest gold buyer from Far Hills?
Our Middlesex store at 748 Bound Brook Rd is about 20 minutes away: Route 202 south into Bedminster, I-287 south, then Route 28 east through Bound Brook into Middlesex. Phone (732) 629-7600.
Is an engraved sterling trophy or julep cup worth selling?
If it is marked sterling, yes. Engraving does not change the silver content, which is 92.5 percent. A weighted base is not silver, so only the silver shell is counted, and a plated cup carries almost no metal value. We tell you which you have before any offer.
Is an 18K signet ring worth more than a 14K one?
Yes. 18K is 75 percent gold and 14K is 58.5 percent. Each karat is weighed apart and priced against that day's live spot, so a heavier-karat ring is never averaged down with the rest of the lot.
Can you come to a house in Far Hills for a large estate?
Yes. Small lots come to the Middlesex counter, and a full household, a silver chest or a large collection can be seen at home by arrangement through our estate service.
Is the Middlesex store open on Saturday?
Yes. Middlesex is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 6 and Saturday from 10 to 4, and it is closed Sunday. No appointment is needed.
Should I sell my gold or take a pawn loan on it?
A pawn loan lends money against the piece, and you repay it with interest to get the piece back. We only buy, so the cash is yours with nothing to repay. If you want the item back later, a licensed pawnbroker is the better fit.
What ID do I need to sell gold in New Jersey?
A valid government photo ID, which state law requires for every precious-metals sale. Receipts, appraisals and boxes help but are never required.
