Why Randolph sellers drive to Middlesex
Randolph is a township of about 21 square miles and roughly 26,000 people, spread from the shopping strip on Route 10 out to the lakes and wooded hills. There is no shortage of jewelry stores in Morris County, but a jewelry store is mostly in the business of selling. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 748 Bound Brook Rd in Middlesex is in the business of buying: gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, and coins, tested and priced at a counter in front of you.
The drive is straightforward. Take Route 10 east to I-287, ride I-287 south past Morristown and Bedminster toward Bound Brook, then pick up Route 28 east into Middlesex. The store is on Route 28, where it is called Bound Brook Road, between Bound Brook and Dunellen. From Center Grove Road or Millbrook Avenue it is about 35 minutes outside rush hour.
A township with a long memory, and drawers to match
Randolph became its own township in the early 1800s, but people were farming here long before that. Quaker families settled the area in the 1700s and built the Friends meeting house that still stands on Quaker Church Road. Iron was mined in the hills, which is where the Ironia section gets its name. In the early twentieth century Mount Freedom filled every summer with families up from New York City, staying at hotels and bungalow colonies near the Sussex Turnpike. Then came the commuter boom of the 1960s and 70s, and County College of Morris opened its campus on Center Grove Road in 1968.
Each of those eras left jewelry behind. What reaches our counter from Randolph is a mix: a grandmother's filigree ring from the resort years, 14k chains and add-a-bead necklaces from the 1980s, Randolph High School class rings, wedding bands from marriages that have ended or partners who have passed, and folders of state quarters mixed in with older silver coins. The mix is exactly why each piece is priced by itself rather than poured onto one scale.
Making one long trip count
Because the drive is 35 minutes each way, sort nothing at home and leave nothing behind. Put every piece you might sell into one bag, including costume jewelry you suspect is costume; the XRF reading takes seconds and it is free. At the counter we separate it for you: stones out first, gold split by karat, sterling apart from plate, coins set aside for a date and condition check, watches opened to see what the case is made of. Each group gets its own figure, and you can sell part of it and keep the rest.
For a whole house or an executor's inventory, the estate buyers service explains house visits and probate paperwork, and the New Jersey estate jewelry guide walks through what to keep for family before selling anything.
What happens at the counter, in a customer's words
“Walked into the Middlesex, NJ location to sell various gold & silver jewelry. Ed was very helpful and explained everything as he tested my jewelry to check if it was 10k or 14k or just costume jewelry. I felt very comfortable and was very pleased with the amount of cash I received. I plan on coming back with more jewelry.”

Class rings, bands, and the rest of the drawer
A class ring is one of the most common things a Randolph seller turns up, whether from Randolph High or a school the family moved from. Most are 10k or 14k, and the stone in them is usually synthetic, so the ring is bought on its gold alone. Old wedding bands, single earrings, snapped chains, and charms off a bracelet are all bought the same way, on purity and weight, which means a broken piece pays the same as a whole one. Do not polish or repair anything first.
See how each karat is valued on the gold jewelry page, or read the New Jersey gold-selling guide for the law and the process from start to finish.
Diamonds are graded apart from the setting
An engagement ring, a pair of studs, or a tennis bracelet is priced in two parts. The diamonds are graded under magnification for weight, color, clarity, and cut, and the gold or platinum is priced on its metal. A GIA or IGI report is useful if you have one and not required if you do not. Keeping the two counts separate is how a good stone avoids being paid as scrap. More on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.
Which parts of Randolph do we hear from?
Every section of the township, and they all take the same route out: down to Route 10, east to I-287, and south. Sellers come from Mount Freedom and the Sussex Turnpike, from Ironia and around Shongum, from the streets around County College of Morris, and from the Dover, Mine Hill, and Denville lines.
What Randolph households bring in
Anything made of gold, silver, or platinum, plus diamonds, coins, and watches. Check a category before you make the drive south.

How far is Randolph from your nearest store?
About 35 minutes. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post is at 748 Bound Brook Rd in Middlesex, reached by Route 10 east, I-287 south, and Route 28 east through Bound Brook. We buy gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, and coins outright. Call (732) 629-7600 before you leave if you have a question.
Is the trip worth it for a small amount of gold?
Only you can judge that, which is why we suggest calling first. Describe what you have and the store can tell you what kind of pieces they are and how they will be tested. Most Randolph sellers wait until they have a full bag and make one trip.
Do you buy Randolph High School class rings?
Yes, and class rings from any school or year. They are bought on their gold content, usually 10k or 14k, which the XRF analyzer confirms in front of you. Synthetic stones add nothing and can stay in the ring.
How do you tell real gold from costume jewelry?
With an XRF analyzer, which reads the metal without scratching or acid. It shows whether a piece is 10k, 14k, 18k, plated, or not gold at all, and the test is free whether or not you sell.
Can you value a whole estate from a Randolph house?
Yes. Many estates fit in a box and are simplest to bring in. For a larger collection, or an owner who cannot travel, call the store about a house visit. Every item is sorted and priced on its own either way.
What decides the offer?
The purity reading, the weight on a certified scale, and the live spot price that day. Where you live does not change it, and the offer moves with the market.
Do you make pawn loans?
No. A pawn loan is borrowing against an item that a pawnbroker keeps until the loan and interest are repaid. We only buy, so the sale is final and nothing is owed. If you want the piece back later, a licensed pawnbroker is the place to ask.
What ID do I need?
A valid government photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. New Jersey requires it for every precious-metal sale, at any buyer.
