If I have some old gold jewellery, is it worth it to sell it for its melt value?
Get your jewelery appraised.  (Don't let whoever does the appraisal be the same person whom you would sell it to.) Logically jewelery must be worthy more than the raw gold that makes it up because somebody took the time to design patterns and do specialty craft to the metal.
