We built Cash for Gold VA on a simple idea: people deserve a fair, transparent price for their valuables, explained in plain terms, paid the same visit, on the spot.
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.
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
01
Best value
Offers follow the live spot price, and bullion is bought at published rates, so you can compare us with anyone.

We accept many items
Far more than gold: we buy silver, diamonds, fine jewelry, luxury watches, coins, and more, all under one roof.
03
Instant payment
Accept the offer and you're paid by check on the spot, the same visit.
04
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.”
