Selling gold from Union: the town, the road, the counter
Union was farmland called Connecticut Farms when it was settled in 1749, and in June 1780 the Battle of Connecticut Farms was fought through what is now the center of town; the Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church on Stuyvesant Avenue was burned during it and rebuilt. The township broke away from Elizabeth in 1808. Today it is one of the larger towns in the county, anchored by Kean University on Morris Avenue, whose campus also holds Liberty Hall, the Livingston family estate.
Most of Union's errands run along Morris Avenue, Stuyvesant Avenue in Union Center, and the US-22 highway strip, and 22 is the road that brings Union sellers to us. The Middlesex store is a dedicated buyer of gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, coins, and estate jewelry, family owned since 2012.
Your offer is built from two readings you watch being taken: an XRF analyzer measures the purity of the metal without harming it, and a state-certified scale weighs it. That purity and weight are applied to the live spot price for the day, and you hear the number before anything changes hands.
Union sections and streets our sellers come from
Union is big enough that people name their corner of it. We hear from Union Center around Stuyvesant Avenue, the Vauxhall section by the Millburn line, the Five Points area, the blocks around Kean and the Union train station, and the streets off Galloping Hill Road. Neighbors in Springfield, Kenilworth, Hillside, and Roselle Park reach us on the same highway.
What Union sellers tend to carry in
From Union we see a lot of everyday gold: link chains and rope chains, a Union High School or college class ring, bangles, a watch that stopped years ago, earrings with no mate. Broken or tangled makes no difference, since the value is in the karat and the grams. Choose a category to see how it is tested, then bring it to Middlesex.
Union estates, sterling, and diamond rings
When a Union family clears out a parent's house, the jewelry rarely comes alone. There is often a sterling flatware set, a roll of old coins, a couple of wristwatches, and a mix of 10k, 14k, and 18k pieces in the same box. Each of those gets its own treatment at our counter: gold is split by karat so higher-purity pieces are paid as such, sterling is separated from silverplate, signed jewelry is checked for value above melt, and coins are checked for collector premium first.
Diamond rings are graded and priced in two parts. The stone is examined under magnification for carat, cut, color, and clarity, and a GIA or AGS certificate can only help; the gold or platinum mounting is tested and weighed on its own. You are paid for both halves of the ring.

Union sellers: an outright sale, not a loan
A pawn loan and a sale answer different needs. With a loan, a licensed pawnbroker holds your piece, you pay the loan back with interest, and you reclaim it. With a sale, you are paid and you are finished. We only buy, never lend, and this is how that works at the Middlesex counter.
Readings You Can See
Purity from the XRF and weight from the certified scale, both taken on the counter between you and us.
Tied to Today's Spot
The offer follows the day's live gold market rather than a fixed counter rate.
Cash, Then Done
No loan ticket, no interest, no deadline to redeem. You sell and you go.

How do I get from Union to the Middlesex store?
Take US-22 west through Springfield, Mountainside, and North Plainfield to Green Brook, then head south through Dunellen into Middlesex. The store is on Bound Brook Road with parking at the door.
What will I be offered for gold from Union?
The live spot price of gold that day applied to your piece's exact purity and weight, both measured with an XRF analyzer and a certified scale in front of you. The offer does not depend on which town you come from.
Do you buy broken chains and old class rings?
Yes. Gold is valued on karat and weight, so a snapped chain, a bent bangle, or a decades-old class ring is worth the same as the metal in it. Bring them as they are.
Can a Union family sell a whole estate?
Yes. Estate jewelry, sterling flatware, watches, coins, and diamonds are each appraised separately rather than rolled into one bulk figure. For a large estate, call ahead to arrange a house call.
Do I need an appointment to sell gold from Union?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at the Middlesex store Monday through Friday during posted hours and on Saturday from 10 to 4. The Middlesex store is closed Sunday. Bring your items and a valid photo ID.
Should I sell my gold or pawn it?
Pawn it only if you want it back and can repay the loan plus interest. Selling is final and leaves nothing to repay. We buy outright and do not lend, so for a loan see a licensed pawnbroker; for a sale, the Middlesex counter is about 25 minutes from Union.
