Gold and silver parties are modeled after Tupperware parties that were made popular in the 1950s. The actual valuation and purchasing is carried out by a professional gold and silver buying company, but the parties are hosted by individuals who get a percentage of sales. During a gold and silver party, the buyer weighs the chains, bracelets, and other jewelry that partygoers bring and performs a variety of tests on the pieces to determine the quality.
