There are many reasons to buy or sell scrap gold, silver, diamonds etcetera. In the recyclables trade it’s simply part of daily business, jewellers trade in gold scrap and related materials according to their needs, private persons buy high quality lots for investment, and many amateur jewellers buy little bits of the stuff for their hobby.

Before deciding to buy scrap gold, jewelry, diamonds or watches, one should know a bit about qualities and prices - especially of gold, which is not only a commodity by itself, but also part of many scrap watches and jewelry items. Scrap gold prices change all the time, along with the general gold price. When buying scrap gold or “broken gold”, you should be aware that alloyed gold (less than 24 karat) costs proportionately less, like a 9 karat gold necklace being much cheaper than a 24 karat gold necklace - all other things being equal.

The closer to pure gold, the higher the price - generally. But sometimes there are other precious metals mixed with the gold, like silver, platinum or rhodium. If such metals are present in your lot, the seller will let that reflect in the price. For example, dental gold (gold fillings, gold teeth) often contains platinum… and platinum has a higher price per ounce than gold.

Although scrap gold prices change every day, it can usually be had fairly cheaply via auctions (even perfectly wearable scrap gold jewelry!), where it’s important to know the following about purity as expressed in karat:

24 karat is 999.99 fine
22 karat is 916.6 fine
18 karat is 750 fine
14 karat is 585 fine
9 karat is 375 fine

There is no such thing as totally pure gold: even the fineness of 24 karat (the purest gold available) is expressed as 999 parts per 1000, because it is impossible to produce real pure gold without even the slightest impurity. When it comes to buying gold scrap, it is important to know how much gold there is in the piece or lot, and what the day price happens to be. Oh… don’t be afraid that the supply will ever run out: gold is almost indestructible, so all the gold ever mined still exists, somewhere. With the right equipment, gold can easily be recovered from even the most complex mixes. It can be melted down, re-refined and recycled an infinite number of times. Part of the gold necklace you buy today, may once have adorned the slender neck of queen Nefertiti.

Want to line up a picture so it does not hang with a slant. Then you should buy a construction laser level. A torpedo laser line level is a tool combining a spirit level and or plum bob with a laser to display an accurately horizontal or vertical illuminated line on a surface the laser level tool is laid against. Laser level tools are used wherever accurate verticals and horizontals are required, typically in the construction and cabinetry industries. Some models are inexpensive enough for your do it yourself applications.

The laser beam is fanned to produce a thin plane beam accurately horizontal or vertical, rather than a pinpoint beam. The axis of the laser is offset from the wall, so that a pinpoint beam would be parallel to and offset from the wall, and would not illuminate it; the fanned beam will intersect the wall, creating an accurately horizontal (or vertical) illuminated line along it.

The laser level tools are set up using the built-in spirit level or plumb bob, and the line along the surface is then guaranteed to be accurately horizontal or vertical to within a certain tolerance, specified either in millimeters per meter or fractions of an inch over a specified distance in feet. A more advanced device may be accurate to within 0.3mm/m; while lower end models may be closer to 1.5mm/m. The illuminated line is necessarily absolutely straight, so that the line level can be used as a straightedge, for example, to see if a shelf is warped, even if not horizontal.

There are several types of laser levels. There are levels with a rotating motor that creates the illusion of a line. Then there are the newer levels with a fixed lens to create the line. The Construction laser level was invented by Steve Orosz. These lasers do not need a tripod all the time. They can be mounted on the wall or the actual surface the beam is projected on. The rotating laser requires a tripod. In surveying, and construction the laser level is affixed to a tripod, leveled and then spun to illuminate a horizontal plane. The laser beam projector employs a rotating head with a mirror for sweeping the laser beam about a vertical axis. If the mirror is not self-leveling, it is provided with visually readable level vials and manually adjustable screws for orienting the projector. A staff carried by the operator is equipped with a movable sensor which can detect the laser beam and gives a signal when the sensor is in line with the beam (usually an audible beep). The position of the sensor on the graduated staff allows comparison of elevations between different points on the terrain. There are many types of Construction laser levels including rotary, torpedo levels and auto laser levels.
