Any guesses how much gold I've got here??
Any jewelers, pawn shop owners, etc. want to make estimate how much gold is in this old ladies rivet bracelet? I'm cleaning out my junk drawer and was going to sell it for parts or repair, but maybe I am better off harvesting and selling the gold bits. Besides the center links, the sides are gold too. I am pretty sure it's 14k.

Thanks for your opinion!
I do, but what would weighing the whole thing accomplish? I don't want to take it all apart to separate the gold unless I'm somewhat sure that it's worth doing. |

You have one loose gold link.
You should be get a pretty close estimate by weighing that. |

My guess is 15 grams.
I assume 14k links with rivet band? |

Better than a random guess.
I would estimate 14x the weight of the one gold link. 14k is worth around $27/gr at this time. |

You’ll get more just letting it rip on that auction site.

I have one of those, belongs on my grandfather’s old bubble back. It’s light as a feather.
