We have sold gold bar / nuggets / gold dust to our regular customers all over the world over the years. Like anything else, gold nuggets come in different qualities. Many natural gold nuggets are simply small rounded chunks of gold without any real unique shape or character. This type is not worth much more than its melt values and you would expect to pay close to spot gold prices for this type of nugget. If you are buying gold simply for its melt value there are a lot of sellers who sell melt quality nuggets, but you will miss the collectible and investment value that high quality gold nuggets afford.

Jewelers use small gold nuggets for inlaying onto rings, necklaces, watches, bands etc and they use large gold nuggets to make pendants or necklaces by soldering a gold bezel onto the nugget and hanging it on a gold chain. Jewelry grade nuggets are preferred by investors as they are in high demand from jewelers and collectors and therefore easier to resell at a premium.
