How much does gold plated jewelry sell for?

Unfortunately gold plated jewelry does not have any real value for scrap gold buyers. It contains an extremely small amount of gold, too small for scrap buyers to bother with.

BUT, your jewelry might have value to costume jewelry buyers. Go to sites such as Etsy.com, Ruby Lane and ebay and search "gold plated jewelry" and find jewelry similar to yours. If your jewelry has been "signed" by the maker, meaning there is some kind of mark inside that indicates who made it, it has more value.

The value of gold plated jewelry can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars, so it's worth doing a little research on vintage selling websites to find out.

On Antiques Roadshow a few years ago, a man had a hat decorated with around two dozen costume brooches and it was appraised at several thousand dollars.
