Including items that are broken or damaged? Is it better to sell the gold for cash or have it fashioned into a new piece of jewelry?

You certainly could attempt to sell the items to a jeweler and reap some cash back on that transaction. However, I think it would be nice to have the gold melted down and fashioned into a new piece for yourself.. perhaps a nugget charm or a nice signet ring. Depending on what you are having melted, the jeweler can tell you what can be created. Also, since you are providing the gold, the cost of fashioning a new item should be minimal. Be aware though, you should take it to an upstanding jeweler.. perhaps one that your family has used for sometime.

Although gold is pretty high right now, you would have to have a good amount to really make any money off of it. Did the pieces mean anything to you? If so, I would consider it worth the while to have them melted down and fashioned into a new piece.
How damaged are they? Sometimes you can get them fixed cheaper than replacing them. You may want to look into the cost of repair, if you haven't already.
Best of luck in either case.

Bear in mind that many jewelers sell what they purport to be gold jewelry, that really isn't. It is unlawful to present any jewelry as gold if it is not at least 10 carat. Many purported pieces of 10-caret gold jewelry are actually less than that when tested, and thus do not really qualify as gold.
There are many places that will buy old gold jewelry, but it is hard to get a fair price. Fashioning it into new jewelry may not be that great a bargain either.

if its a good piece of jewelry, sell it at a pawn store, at least you can get enough money for a tank of gas, most pawn stores take broken jewelry too.
