A quick 18-minute run west on the 10 turns the gold sitting in your drawer into same-day cash. Up to 95% of live spot, tested while you watch, zero obligation.
4994 Holt Blvd, Montclair, CA 91763 · Open 7 DaysFontana stretches a long way — from the warehouses and old brick storefronts of downtown along Sierra Avenue, up through Sierra Lakes and the Summit below the 15, and south past the roar of the Auto Club Speedway into Southridge. It's a working city, and the gold that ends up in a Fontana drawer usually has a story: a class ring, a wedding band from a marriage that ended, a chain that snapped and never got fixed. Whatever the story, that metal is worth real money at today's prices, and plenty of Fontana sellers would rather turn it into cash than watch it sit — or hand it to a pawn window for pennies.
There's no appointment to book and nothing to ship. From most of Fontana it's an 18-to-22-minute drive to our counter: get on the 10 westbound, roll past Ontario, and take the Central Avenue or Monte Vista exit into Montclair — we sit a block off the freeway at 4994 Holt Blvd. Coming from the Kaiser Permanente Fontana side or from Falcon Ridge Town Center, the 10 is the straightest line west; if you're up near the Summit, the 15 down to the 10 is just as quick. Call or text (909) 737-2467 on the road and we'll have the live spot price pulled up before you've parked.
Sierra Avenue has no shortage of pawn windows and "we buy gold" signs. Instead of driving to four of them for four lowball offers, make one run to Montclair and get a number priced off live spot — the same feed the refiners use.
Your pieces go on the XRF analyzer and the digital scale while you sit across the counter. You read the karat, the grams and the spot price with us — the offer is arithmetic you can watch, not a figure decided in the back.
Agree to the number and you're paid before you walk out — cash in hand, or Zelle or Venmo to your phone. No "we'll mail a check," no holds, no coming back tomorrow.
Ten-karat class rings, broken 14k chains, 18k and 22k jewelry, gold and silver coins, Krugerrands, Eagles and poured bars, dental gold, sterling flatware and tea sets, loose diamonds and running luxury watches — bring a single piece or a whole box, it's all welcome. Nothing is too broken, bent or mismatched; we're paying for the gold and the stones, not the condition. Every item goes on the analyzer and the scale in front of you and lands at up to 95% of live spot price, paid the same day in cash, Zelle or Venmo.
We see Fontana regulars from Southridge and Sierra Lakes, from the Heritage and Village of Heritage tracts, from the older neighborhoods around downtown, and from the newer hillside builds up by the Summit and Coyote Canyon. Some are cleaning out an estate north of the 210, some finally decided the drawer of tangled chains had waited long enough, some inherited coins from a relative and have no idea what they're worth. All of it weighs the same on our scale, and all of it gets the same live-spot math.
Here's the honest difference. A pawn shop on Sierra Avenue isn't really in the business of buying your ring — it's quoting a collateral loan and betting you'll come back and pay interest to get it out of the case. When it does buy outright, the price is built around melt-minus and whatever resale margin the display counter needs, which is how 50–70 percent of real value gets sold to you as "top dollar." We don't write loans and we don't run a jewelry case. We buy to send metal to the refiner, so the only figure that drives our offer is the live spot price you can watch us look up — and if that number isn't the best you've been quoted, you keep your gold and owe us nothing.
"Had a class ring and two chains that broke years back sitting in a dish by the door. Drove over from Southridge on a Saturday morning, watched every piece go on the scanner, and walked out with more than the pawn shop on Sierra offered for just the ring." — Marcus F., Fontana
Call or text (909) 737-2467 for a live-spot ballpark before you make the drive, or just bring it to 4994 Holt Blvd in Montclair — open seven days, Mon–Sat 10:00–6:30 and Sun 10:00–5:30, licensed and bonded, with the testing done right in front of you. Sorting through an inherited collection first? Our guide to estate jewelry buyers in the Inland Empire walks through what's worth bringing in.
Your offer isn't a mystery or a mood — it's three numbers multiplied together. First, purity: 14K gold is 58.5% pure, 18K is 75%, and 10K is 41.7%, so a heavier 10K piece can actually be worth less than a lighter 18K one. Second, weight, measured on a calibrated digital scale in grams. Third, the live spot price, which moves by the minute and which we pull up in front of you. Multiply those together, take up to 95% of the result, and that's your number — the same arithmetic whether you bring one ring from Southridge or a full box down from the Summit.
