Gold to Give
Turn unwanted gold into lasting impact.
The broken chain, the single earring, the ring you'll never wear again. Bring it to Springer's, and together we'll turn it into support for the arts in our community, beginning with our partner, Opera Maine.
Every jewelry box holds a little something that could do a lot of good.
Since 1870, Springer's has been part of the moments that matter to Maine and Seacoast families. Gold to Give is how we give back to the community that has trusted us for generations.
Our buyer will evaluate your unwanted gold and make you an offer. Then you can direct the value to our community partner, Opera Maine, so jewelry that's been sitting in a drawer becomes real support close to home.
Four simple steps
Nothing to clean, sort or prepare. Just bring what you have.
Gather
Look through your jewelry box for gold you no longer wear, including broken, bent or mismatched pieces.
Meet our buyer
Book a private appointment. Our buyer will test, weigh and evaluate each piece with you, then present your offer.
Give
Choose to direct the value of your gold to Opera Maine. We'll send your gift directly to them.
Make an impact
Leave knowing your forgotten pieces are now helping bring live opera and arts education to our community.
We accept gold in any condition
Bring us
- Gold jewelry in any karat: 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k
- Broken chains, bent rings and single earrings
- Outdated or unworn pieces
- Gold coins, charms and class rings
- Sterling silver jewelry and flatware
Not sure what you have?
Bring it anyway. Our buyer will tell you what each piece is and what it's worth, and there's never any obligation.
If something turns out to be worth keeping, restoring or redesigning, we'll tell you that too. A family heirloom might deserve a second life rather than the melting pot.
Where your gold goes
Every Gold to Give donation supports Opera Maine, bringing world-class performance and arts education to our community.
Arts & Education

Good to know
How is the value of my gold determined?
Our buyer tests the karat and weighs each piece, then makes an offer based on the current market price of gold. You'll see the evaluation happen and can ask questions along the way.
Can I donate part and keep part as payment?
Yes. You're welcome to direct some of the value to Opera Maine and receive the rest yourself. Just let our buyer know at your appointment.
Will I receive documentation of my gift?
We'll provide a record of the value directed to Opera Maine. Please consult your tax advisor about whether your gift may be deductible.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended so a buyer is ready for you, but we're happy to help walk-ins whenever a buyer is available.
What's forgotten in your drawer could be felt in our community.
Bring your unwanted gold to Springer's, and let's make something lasting together.
