Unfortunately gold plated jewelry does not have any real value for scrap gold buyers. It contains an extremely small amount of gold, too small for scrap buyers to bother with.
BUT, your jewelry might have value to costume jewelry buyers. Go to sites such as Etsy.com, Ruby Lane and ebay and search "gold plated jewelry" and find jewelry similar to yours. If your jewelry has been "signed" by the maker, meaning there is some kind of mark inside that indicates who made it, it has more value.
The value of gold plated jewelry can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars, so it's worth doing a little research on vintage selling websites to find out.
On Antiques Roadshow a few years ago, a man had a hat decorated with around two dozen costume brooches and it was appraised at several thousand dollars.
It's only gold plated. They sell for around $8 on eBay.
Yes, you can sell gold-plated items at a pawn shop, but you may not receive much for them since the value is primarily in the base metal rather than the gold plating itself. Pawn shops typically pay more for solid gold items, as the gold content in plated items is minimal. It's advisable to check with multiple shops to gauge offers, but expect lower payout offers for gold-plated goods.
first question ...do you folks have a preference for gold filled or vermeil? I have heard that vermeil doesn't hold up any better than plating ...? ...also, I have some gold plated pewter that wears off so quickly, I wouldn't dare sell anything made of it ...can I treat it with something to prolong the gold plating? I wore a necklace for a total of maybe 15 hours and the plating wore off enough to make the beads grey & dull ...how can I sell that? I'm so disappointed in gold plated pewter but I'm also afraid plated brass would tarnish so quickly .
It depends on the volume of the gold that is plated on the jewelry, but when an item is electro plated, the plating material is usually very thin - less than 0.01mm - so there is hardly any volume of gold. So even though gold is expensive, a gold-plated item is worth just a few pence (cents) more than the item would be if it did not have the gold. This is ok if you want to buy inexpensive jewelry, where the main thing is whether it looks good, but you won't be able to sell it for any money.

No, we are not looking to buy broken gold jewelry.
It all depends on the karats of the gold, (eg. 10, 14, 18, 24), it also depends on the weight of the jewelry.
It's gold-plated, not solid gold, as US quarters have never been made of gold. It might sell for a couple dollars.
Gold plated, but not gold. A private company took an ordinary 1968 half dollar and plated it for use in jewelry or as a so-called "collectible". The underlying coin is made of 40% silver so you could sell it for $2.50 or so, but that's about all. No circulating coins have been made of gold since 1933.
They sell jewelry that have created stones and have gold plate. They are required to tell you what is artificial and fine jewelry.
