Cash for Gold in Falls Church, VA

There's no Cash for Gold VA store inside Falls Church itself, but two are within roughly 15 minutes. The closest is our Annandale location at 7262 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003 — (571) 290-8020 — about 10–12 minutes south via Route 50 or the Beltway. Our Vienna / Tysons store at 8605 Westwood Center Dr #120, Tysons, VA 22182 — (703) 889-0532 — is about 10–12 minutes west toward Tysons and often quicker from Pimmit Hills or Idylwood; it sees sellers by appointment only, so call ahead.

Annandale, for most of the city: it's a straight 10–12 minute run south on Route 50 or the Beltway, and it's clearly the shorter trip from Seven Corners and Bailey's Crossroads. If you're on the north side — Pimmit Hills, Idylwood, or anywhere near the West Falls Church Metro — Vienna / Tysons is about the same 10–12 minutes west toward Tysons, by appointment (call (703) 889-0532). Both counters test in front of you and pay the same visit, so just pick the direction you're already headed.

Your quote starts with the live spot price per troy ounce, divided by 31.1 to get 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 variable rate we spell out before you decide, and standard bullion gold coins bring 90% of the live spot price. Collectible coins, designer pieces, and certified diamonds are appraised separately, since they're often worth more than their metal content.

More than almost anything else. Karat is the percentage of actual gold in the piece — 10k is 41.7% pure, 18k is 75% — so a heavy 10k bracelet can be worth less than a lighter 18k ring, even though it feels more substantial in your hand. That's why we test every piece for its true purity rather than pricing by heft or trusting a worn stamp, and why sorting a mixed jewelry box at a real counter usually beats guessing at home.

Often, yes. Certified diamonds of 1.5 carats and up are valued separately from the metal, and a recognizable maker or designer name can add value on top — so an inherited piece from a longtime Falls Church family may be worth well more than its weight on the scale. Smaller or uncertified stones aren't bought; their estimated weight is deducted and they're returned to you if you accept. We quote the higher of collectible value or melt value, so don't pull stones or clean older pieces before coming in, and bring any paperwork you have.

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.
