About Golden Girls®

The entrepreneurial spirits behind Golden Girls® prove that partnering creativity with passion is a winning combination. When three inspiring women united in 2008, they struck gold! Their diverse perspectives and life experiences led to a venture that welded together three significant ambitions. First, provide women a local, safe and trusted means of selling their old, unwanted jewelry for cash. Second, offer women a flexible means of earning extra income, without sacrificing the demands of everyday life. And lastly, give back by contributing to local charities and organizations. Collectively, with over 300 Golden Girls throughout the United States and Canada, Golden Girls® has realized their vision of becoming the most respected and trusted international buyer of precious metals. We are women. We are Golden Girls. Different by Design. Driven by Purpose.
