Frequently Asked Questions About Gold Jewelry Loans

Essential answers on appraisal methodology, non-recourse structure, laboratory testing, and vault security.

Never. Traditional pawn shops and scrap gold buyers often use invasive files and nitric acid scratch stones that permanently damage and devalue jewelry. At Vaultmark Lending, we use laboratory-grade X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers that determine exact elemental composition through the surface without a single mark or scratch.
