What do you guys do with generic jewelry?

[Cojones]

Picked these sterling pieces up today. Was just wondering what yall do with generic sterling/gold? Do you save them for scrap? I have only sold the higher end pieces. I just hold on the generic ones.

BTW: I paid $6 around 30g of sterling. And I got another fake ring(not pictured) stamped 925. Run into a fake ring about every month.

I sell them on ebay by weight and always get a little more than scrap price........ I always sell by the ounce ... The last i sold when it it was around $32.00 a oz and got a little more plus shipping....I always do good on ebay with scrap silver & gold......... Just a short time ago silver was at $30 some dollars a oz. ...That is when i sold mine............. Today it is around $19.00 a oz..What a difference a few weeks make.......

I hoard all mine. It's my redneck 401k plan (heard that on American Pickers the other night) lol.

I use much of the cheap sterling for scrap..

but first, I show it to the ladies at the drive through coffee house...seems I get real good service when I put a piece or two in the tip jar...

I pay a quarter for something that makes them happy, and I get great service...

We have become friends with a jeweler. He will take the scrap and make whatever we want with it. I'm having a cross pendant made next week. Of scrap 14k. We have been hording it too!
