Does USPS ship gold?
Hands down, the best way to ship your valuables including gold, silver and rare coins is to use the United States Postal Service's Registered Mail Services. While the post office employees may try to convince you to switch to insured mail, do not take the bait.
Only costume jewelry is accepted. Gold and silver jewelry are prohibited. Shipments of jewelry can be shipped as long as the value does not exceed US$500.00 or the local currency equivalent per package.

UPS is the best carrier to ship expensive jewelry, since you can ship packages with up to $50,000 in declared value with their services. FedEx also offers similar services for sending high-value items, but always costs more than UPS does.
You can only ship jewelry that is valued at $500 or less, and your items must not be made with real precious metals like gold or silver. Items made with industrial diamonds are also prohibited. You can ship jewelry with UPS using the UPS Next Day, UPS 2-Day Delivery, and UPS 3-Day Delivery.
The USPS First Class Package is ideal for shipping jewelry under 16 ounces. You must provide your own sturdy box and your shipment will arrive within 1-3 days. USPS Priority Mail can be Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes or Priority Mail Flat Rate Box, and they are the best options for shipping jewelry above 16 ounces.
