I am not in the trade (I just keep an eye on the thread because I got a college degree in jewelry) but I would say the pile of gold depends on it's purity and weight for whether it's worth your time. Are we taking 10k? 14k? 18k? Is it a couple of rings or earrings or a big pile of stuff? Precious metal values are calculated by weight and how much of that weight is in the actual gold/silver versus the other alloy metals. There are online calculators that can give you an idea of what the full melt value of your jewelry may be if you can weigh it, but you'll have to take the number with a grain of salt, as the stones add weight and skew the results some. And of course shops offer a bit under the spot price as they need to make their profit as well. If you decide to try this I'll tell you now a troy ounce is a different weight than a regular ounce like you see on a package of food; troy ounces are slightly heavier but it's one of the traditional measurements of jewelry and precious metals. Most calculators I've seen do have options with more normal units of measure you may have on a kitchen scale, like grams.

I'm sure the major jewelry supply company Rio Grande probably has ring blanks. Whether they are the blanks you're looking for I don't know, but it'd be worth it to look at their website.
