Selling Gold and Silver from Miami
Miami sellers have more options than almost anywhere in Florida, and most of them are trade counters that were never built for a member of the public.
No appointment needed. No obligation to sell.
Live metal market
This is the market your offer is calculated against — not a chart printed last week. Your items are tested and weighed at the counter, and the arithmetic is done in front of you.

Before you leave the house

Route
The trip from Miami
Getting to us
North on I-95 to Oakland Park or Commercial Boulevard, then east to the ocean. Around forty minutes outside peak, longer if you leave downtown between four and six. The 95 express lanes help northbound in the afternoon and do nothing for you on the way home.
What that distance means
Forty minutes each way makes this a one-trip decision. Bring the whole lot in one go, including broken chain, single earrings and anything you are unsure about — it is all weighed the same way and there is no charge for testing something you end up keeping.
The local picture
Selling gold in Miami
Miami has a genuine concentration of the jewelry trade — the Seybold Building downtown holds hundreds of dealers under one roof, and there are more buyers within a few blocks of Flagler Street than in the whole of Broward. That density is real and it cuts both ways. Seybold is fundamentally a trade building: dealers buying from dealers, priced for people who do this every day and know what the spread should be. A member of the public walking in with an inherited box is the least experienced party in the room, and the offer reflects it. That is not dishonesty on their part, it is what a wholesale floor is for.
Selling part of it, and keeping the rest
Miami living is mostly high-rise living, and a high-rise is the one place a home safe makes least sense — it is heavy, it is visible to anyone who has been inside the unit, and it travels badly when you move. You are already making a forty-minute drive; making it once is the point. Sell what you brought to sell, and put what you are keeping into the vault in the same building rather than carrying it back down I-95 and solving the storage question again next year.
Florida Intervault is a separate company in the same building, family-run since 1983. Storing anything is entirely optional and nobody at the counter will push you toward it — you are free to sell and go home.
What Miami sellers usually bring
Gold Jewelry
Chains, rings and odd earrings tested for karat at the counter, weighed in front of you, priced on the live market.

Gold Coins & Bullion
Eagles, Maples, Krugerrands and refiner bars verified while you wait, with anything worth more than melt flagged first.
Explore →
Silver
Bars, rounds, junk coin and sterling flatware tested piece by piece, so a genuine set never leaves valued as plate.
Explore →
Estate & Inherited Metal
Bring the box unsorted. Everything is separated and valued item by item, with a written breakdown for the family.
Explore →
Dental Gold
Crowns and bridges tested for what they actually contain, palladium and silver included, with no cleaning needed first.
Explore →
Platinum & Palladium
Platinum is easily mistaken for white gold. We test for it specifically and price both metals on their own markets.

FAQ
Common questions
- Miami has a whole jewelry district. Why would I drive to Fort Lauderdale?
- For a signed, desirable piece being sold intact, you may well do better in Miami — the buyer pool is deeper and we will tell you so. For scrap, mixed lots and estate material the question is different: whether you are quoted as a member of the public or as a trade counterpart. Bring a written offer from Seybold or anywhere else and we will beat it.
- Does it matter that I am in Miami-Dade rather than Broward?
- Not for the sale. Florida requires photo ID and a record of the transaction wherever you sell, and the county line changes nothing about price, tax or paperwork.
- How far is it from Miami?
- About 40 minutes to our Fort Lauderdale counter, traffic depending. Season adds to that on the coastal roads.
- Do I need an appointment?
- No. Walk in during business hours. If you are bringing a large estate lot, call first so we have the cash and a second tester ready.
- What do I need to bring?
- Valid government-issued photo ID. Florida law requires a dealer to record every purchase and take a copy of your ID, with no exceptions.
- Can I get a number before I drive over?
- Email photos to info@sygusa.com and we will tell you what it looks like and what the range depends on. A real figure still needs the items on the scale.

Miami Beach
Forty minutes north, and we would rather be upfront: for a single item this drive does not make sense. For an estate lot, or as a second opinion on a figure you already have, it does.

30 min
Aventura
Thirty minutes north, just over the Broward line. Dense, high-turnover and strongly international — a lot of pieces here were bought abroad, and foreign purity marks are worth testing rather than reading.

30 min
Hallandale Beach
Thirty minutes north up I-95 or Federal. Dense condominium population with a lot of relocation and downsizing sales, and a strongly seasonal one — a building full in February is half empty in August.
