I’m in the shop of the jewelry store talking to the jeweler one day.<\/p>\n

\nThe owner comes back carrying some small white objects<\/strong> in his hand.<\/p>\n

\nI take a closer Look and see that he’s holding a handful of teeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“What the Heck…?”<\/h2>\n

\n(That’s my initial response<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\n“GROSS!<\/strong>” is my second.<\/p>\n

\nHe goes over to the jeweler’s vice<\/strong>, puts a tooth in and starts crushing it. “What are you doing?<\/strong>” I say in morbid curiosity.<\/p>\n

\nHe pulls the crushed debris out of the vice and holds up a small piece of gold<\/strong>. “Their grandpa died<\/strong>,” he said motioning to the customer’s at the front of the store. “The old man had a lot of gold fillings<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\n“So they bring them in for you to crush?” I said. “Yes!<\/strong>” He smiles, “They needed the money<\/strong>“…<\/p>\n

“They’re selling the gold.”<\/h2>\n

\nWell I’ll be…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSo if you’re looking for some extra money, then by all means, start looking for gold…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAny gold. A lot of people have gold just waiting to be turned into cash<\/strong> and they don’t even know it. Gold coins, gold rings, gold watches, heirlooms, gold grillz<\/a>, you name it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can even get gold from jewelry repairs.<\/h2>\n

\nFor example, if you have a gold ring sized down<\/strong>, ask the jeweler to keep the little piece of scrap gold<\/strong>. If you get a bracelet or necklace shortened, keep the extra pieces<\/strong>. If you have broken chains or clasps, don’t throw them away, save them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A little gold here and there adds up.<\/h2>\n

\nYou’d be surprised at how those little pieces of scrap gold can accumulate into hundreds of greenbacks<\/strong>. A lot of people dig through their jewelry boxes looking for odds and ends to scrap. If you’re not wearing your rings, chains, earrings or pendants, sell them. Make some money.<\/strong> Pay some bills.<\/p>\n

\nI sold some gold jewelry a couple of years ago. Some heavy gold chains, a couple broken gold bracelets, a bent gold ring and a gold tie chain… I ended up getting $1,200 <\/strong>for the 14kt gold.<\/p>\n

Now that’s a lot of chump change.<\/h2>\n

\nTake a look at what gold scraps you have right now. You’d be surprised at how fast it adds up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAnd if all else fails you can always go to the dentist and have your gold fillings removed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOr you can just wait it out, like the customer’s grandpa <\/strong>did… Not that it helped him, he’s gone…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBut you can never say that he didn’t keep his money where his mouth was.<\/strong><\/p>\n
