We don't have a store in Fairfax itself, but our Chantilly location is a straight shot west on Route 50 — about 12 to 15 minutes — where your gold is tested in front of you and paid out on the spot.
Searching for cash for gold in Fairfax? Straight answer first: we don't have a storefront inside Fairfax, but we're closer than you might think. Our Chantilly store sits right on US-50, roughly 8 miles and 12–15 minutes west of the city, and our Annandale store is about 15 minutes east on Little River Turnpike. At either counter, your items are tested and weighed on a calibrated scale while you watch, quoted against the live spot price, and paid before you leave.
Because Fairfax sits at the junction of I-66, US-50, Route 123, and the Fairfax County Parkway, almost anyone in the area is within a 15-minute drive of one of those two counters — which makes local gold buyers in Fairfax searches easy to act on the same afternoon. That matters more than convenience alone: a courthouse-era heirloom from an Old Town Fairfax family gets appraised for its age and workmanship, and a GMU class ring gets tested for its true karat, instead of both being tossed on the same melt pile the way a mail-in envelope would treat them.
We're also a Fairfax County business through and through: three of our four stores — Chantilly, Annandale, and Vienna / Tysons (by appointment) — are in the county. And despite the name, it isn't only gold. The same counters buy silver, platinum, coins, bullion, designer jewelry, luxury watches, and certified diamonds of 1.5 carats and up, so one trip covers the whole jewelry box.
Neighborhoods we serve
Serving every corner of Fairfax
Old Town Fairfax
As the county seat, the blocks around the historic courthouse hold some of the oldest homes in the area — and with them, inherited rings, pocket watches, and antique settings that can be worth more than their melt weight, so we appraise age and craftsmanship before quoting.
Fair Oaks & Fair Lakes
The shopping and office corridor along Route 50 and the Fairfax County Parkway skews modern: designer jewelry, luxury watches, and newer pieces where brand and condition drive the price, which is why we evaluate those individually instead of by weight alone.
George Mason University area
Virginia's largest public university brings us students and faculty selling class rings, gold chains, and single earrings for a quick payout — small items that still add up fast once they're tested and weighed at real karat value.
Mantua & Kings Park West
These established neighborhoods on the eastern side of Fairfax lean toward generational gold — wedding bands, everyday 14k jewelry, and estate boxes passed down over decades — and they're the households for whom the Annandale store on Route 236 is often the quicker trip.
Fairfax Station & Clifton
South of the city along Route 123 and the Fairfax County Parkway, either store is a similar drive, so pick the direction you're already headed. If you're bringing a mixed estate box — jewelry, coins, and sterling silver together — everything is tested and priced in the same visit.

The two stores closest to Fairfax
There's no Cash for Gold VA storefront in Fairfax yet, but both of our nearest stores bracket the city — one west on Route 50, one east on Route 236 — so pick whichever direction matches your day.
Why Fairfax sellers do better in person than with mail-in gold buyers
A mail-in buyer asks you to seal your jewelry in an envelope, trust a prepaid label, and wait for a stranger's offer with your gold already out of your hands. Selling in person flips that: your items never leave your sight until you've agreed on a price. You see the karat test, you see the scale reading, and if the number doesn't work for you, you put your jewelry back in your pocket and drive home — no return shipping, no fine print.
From Fairfax, that in-person option costs you almost nothing in time. The Chantilly counter is one road the whole way — west on Route 50 past Fair Oaks, about 12–15 minutes door to door — and Annandale is a comparable run east on Route 236. Either trip is shorter than standing in line at the post office, and it ends with paid the same visit instead of a payment that arrives whenever the envelope does.

“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.”

There's no Cash for Gold VA store inside Fairfax itself. The nearest is our Chantilly location at 14025 US-50, Chantilly, VA 20151 — (571) 224-5279 — about 12–15 minutes west on Route 50. Our Annandale store at 7262 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003 — (571) 290-8020 — is roughly 15 minutes east on Little River Turnpike and often quicker from the eastern side of Fairfax.
Which store is closer to Fairfax — Chantilly or Annandale?
Chantilly is closest for most of Fairfax: about 8 miles west on Route 50, a 12–15 minute drive past Fair Oaks. If you're in Mantua, Kings Park West, or anywhere near the Little River Turnpike side of the city, Annandale is about 7 miles east and roughly the same 15 minutes — go with whichever direction you're already headed.
How much will I get for my gold in Fairfax?
Your quote starts with the live spot price per troy ounce, divided by 31.1 for a per-gram price, then multiplied by your item's karat purity — 41.7% for 10k, 58.3% for 14k, 75% for 18k — and its weight on our scale. Jewelry and scrap gold are paid at a rate that varies by item, and we explain it before you decide, while designer pieces and certified diamonds are appraised separately since they're often worth more than the metal alone.
Do you buy gold coins from Fairfax sellers?
Yes. Standard bullion gold coins — American Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, and similar — pay 90% of the live spot price. Collectible, rare, or graded coins are appraised individually, because dates, mint marks, and condition can put their value well above the gold content, so don't clean them and bring any grading slabs or paperwork you have.
I inherited jewelry from a Fairfax estate — should I sort or clean it before coming in?
No — bring the whole box as-is. Cleaning can actually damage antique finishes and reduce collector value, and sorting isn't necessary because we test every piece anyway: gold gets separated from plated items on the spot, and anything with age, maker's marks, or notable craftsmanship gets appraised on its own rather than weighed as scrap.
Are there gold buyers in Fairfax County besides the Chantilly store?
Yes. Three Cash for Gold VA stores are in Fairfax County: Chantilly on US-50, Annandale on Columbia Pike, and Vienna / Tysons on Westwood Center Drive, which is by appointment. From Fairfax Station and Clifton, Chantilly and Annandale are a similar drive.
Do you buy jewelry in Fairfax, or only gold?
Both. Beyond gold we buy sterling silver, platinum, designer and signed jewelry, luxury watches, and certified diamonds of 1.5 carats or more. Fine jewelry is looked at piece by piece, so a signed or antique item isn't priced as scrap.
What do you pay Fairfax sellers for gold and silver bullion?
Recognized gold bars, rounds, and standard bullion coins bring 90% of the live gold spot price. Recognized .999 silver bars and rounds typically bring 85–90% of silver spot. We check weight and purity first and show you the math.
Do I need ID to sell gold in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia law requires precious-metals buyers to record a valid government-issued photo ID for every purchase, so bring your driver's license or passport along with the items you want to sell. You must also be 18 or older.
