Our story

A family-run buyer Northern Virginia trusts

Cash for Gold VA has bought gold, silver, diamonds, jewelry and coins from Northern Virginia neighbors since 2008. What started as a single storefront is now four stores, in Chantilly, Annandale, Manassas and Vienna / Tysons.

Unlike mail-in services and mall kiosks, we test and weigh every item in front of you and base our offers on live market prices, with the whole calculation explained out loud before you decide.

We are not a pawn shop. We don't lend against your things: we make an offer, explain it, and if you accept, you're paid by check before you leave.

How we work

Nothing happens out of your sight

The same rules at every store, on every item.

Gold and silver nuggets and a silver bar on dark stone
  • Tested on camera

    Every piece goes through an XRF analyzer, the technology refineries use, and you watch each test on camera.

  • Priced at published rates

    Gold bullion bars, rounds and coins at 90% of spot; silver bullion typically 85–90%. Jewelry and scrap at a variable rate we explain before you decide.

  • Itemized, then signed

    You get a printed receipt listing every item and price. Nothing is final until you review it and sign.

  • Paid by check, on the spot

    Drawn on a local bank so you can cash it the same day. No upper limit on large sales.

  • Selling jewelry with large stones? We deduct the stones from the metal weight and hand them back once you accept.

Our values

Four promises, kept at the counter

  1. Best value

    Offers follow the live spot price, and bullion is bought at published rates, so you can compare us with anyone.

  2. We accept many items

    Far more than gold: we buy silver, diamonds, fine jewelry, luxury watches, coins, and more, all under one roof.

  3. Instant payment

    Accept the offer and you're paid by check on the spot, the same visit.

  4. Professional yet simple

    Expert appraisals without the runaround: every item is tested, weighed, and explained in plain terms before you decide.

    “I got almost 50% more here than offered by a jeweler in Herndon (they know who they are; there's only 1 in downtown Herndon). Ethan was courteous, prompt, and efficient. 5 stars for the shop and 5 stars for the service.”
