Not only does the recycling gold event give members and friends of an organization a chance to sell old jewelry and receive cash for items that are collecting dust, it recycles precious metals, which helps alleviate the need for further mining and damage to our environment.

It is also a unique way to raise thousands of dollars for great causes.

The Gold Charity Event is part of Anne Dale’s “Know What it Means” fashionable jewelry for charity. Modeled from 1960’s school paper drives, this event gives everyone the chance to be part of a solution while selling their unwanted precious metals and old jewelry for cash.

“Anne Dale is a long time sponsor of our unique special-needs playgrounds that are designed and donated to area public schools,” said LeAnne Cantrell of KidSense.

Dale also sells a KidSense puzzle piece as part of her Jewelry for a Cause line that benefits the building of the playgrounds. The latest sensory playground, built especially for special needs children, is planned for Magnolia Trace Elementary and Lake Harbor Middle Schools in Mandeville. Cantrell said, “Anne Dale is helping make this dream a reality.”

Anne Dale is teaming up with local charities, schools and organizations to provide an exciting opportunity to turn unwanted gold items into cash!

It’s Simple

For a limited time Anne Dale will pay top dollar for unwanted, broken and outdated jewelry on the spot. Then donate a portion of the recycling profits to a participating charity of the customer’s choice.

Sell your unwanted\outdated gold jewelry with confidence and ease to one of New Orleans finest jewelers. Anne Dale known for honesty and fairness in selling fine jewelry for over twenty-five years now is using the same Golden Rule in buying unwanted gold jewelry.

Everybody Wins

• you receive immediate cash
• raise money for your school or charity
• recycling the gold
• in a professional environment
• dealing with a name you can trust – Anne Dale.

Anne Dale evaluates unwanted jewelry items for the scrap gold value with school teacher Dione Yager and LeAnne Cantrell of KidSense Playgrounds.

After paying cash Anne Dale will donate a percentage of the refiner’s proceeds to KidSense benefiting children with autism.

You asked – We listened

Anne Dale a certified jewelry appraiser has been advising people on the value of their jewelry for nearly twenty-five years.

In many cases jewelry items have an intrinsic value (above the scrap value) examples would be vintage or estate jewelry which would most likely receive a higher return at auction.

Receive the most value from your unwanted jewelry items while helping a local charity all in a comfortable professional environment dealing with a name you can trust – Anne Dale.

Calculate the value of your gold

10 Karat gold is 41.7% percent pure gold. 14 Karat gold is 58.3% pure gold. 18k Karat gold is 75% pure gold. 24 Karat is pure gold.

Example:

If pure gold is trading at $900 an ounce and you have one ounce of 14Kt gold you would take $900 then multiply it by 58.5% which gives you a value of $526.50 in pure gold.

While you will not receive the actual market value it is the basis of the jewelry’s scrap value. The amount of cash you receive depends upon the gold buyers cost of doing business (rent, employees, insurances etc.), the operations profit margin and several technical factors including the gold refinery’s fee, burn off, under-karated gold items purchased, as well as other risk and security issues.

Receive immediate cash payment!

* Ask about collecting old jewelry for your church, school or non-profit organization as a charity event.
