Put your scrap towards a new custom piece or one of Mark’s existing creations & get an extra 20% added to its value to put towards your purchase!
We all have jewelry we’ve fallen out of love with & some pieces we didn’t like much to begin with, an earring that is missing its mate, and a broken bauble or two. The clutter in the bottom of your jewelry box is taking up space when it could be making you money. Mark Loren Designs offers scrap gold buying services to our clients only. We offer the highest price in town for your gold. Unlike other scrappers, Mark will actually use the materials to create his unique one-of-a-kind designs, rather than re-selling the metal to a refinery. We protect your privacy; bring in your scrap for a free evaluation in our private consultation room.

This beautiful bracelet created by Mark Loren, will be for auction at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Hope Gala.
This unique bracelet combines the fingerprints of three very special JDRF patients with three beautiful charms that symbolize their courage, peerless wisdom, and the inexplicable challenges they face. Mark traveled to Naples last month and personally imprinted the three fingerprints from the excited children – their names and ages are engraved on the backs of each link. The charms/pendants are removable and can be worn separately. A Tahitian Black Pearl represents the gathered wisdom the children have amassed from their experiences, while a Victorian era Tiger’s Claw set with Diamonds represents their fierce bravery and courage of spirit. Finally, a brilliant purple Brazilian Geode signifies the mysteries of our world.
This white, yellow, and rose gold bracelet is truly one-of-a-kind, as are all of our children. Designed and created specially for this event and donated by National Award Winning Jewelry Designer Mark Loren.
Minimum bid $1000
