JEWELRY EVALUATION
SERVICES
JEWELRY EVALUATION
Your jewellery is precious, and is often more than just a simple accessory; it can hold sentimental value, and family history and can also be an investment - therefore it's crucial that it is correctly and professionally valued.
The importance of getting your jewellery valued.
Having an up-to-date valuation of your jewellery collection is an important step in understanding the true worth of your treasured pieces. Perhaps you are looking to sell your jewellery, to get your jewellery collection insured or maybe a jewellery appraisal is necessary due to probate or a family division.
Getting your jewellery valued can ensure adequate coverage in case of loss, damage or theft. Unfortunately, jewellery is often undervalued on insurance policies, so having a professional valuation can help to ensure that you are properly compensated in the event of a claim.
Scrap Gold Purchase Process
We provide a trusted, transparent appraisal service for your valuables, offering you a fair and accurate evaluation. Our friendly, knowledgeable team is dedicated to giving you the best value when selling your items.
Unlike purchasing jewelry at retail prices, which includes costs for manufacturing, retail markup, sales commissions, packaging, marketing, and taxes, we buy your items as scrap metal. Our goal is to recycle and repurpose your pieces to create new jewelry, similar to buying a brand-name jacket only for the fabric it’s made of.
Our Commitment When You Sell to Us:
- A discreet, private, and comfortable environment for transactions
- Highly trained staff committed to transparency
- Fair pricing with no hidden fees or complex melting processes, ensuring you receive maximum return on your precious metals
- 100% Canadian-owned business, proudly serving fellow Canadians
- Bilingual service
Our Appraisal Process
Purity Verification
We begin by inspecting the purity stamps on your items. These marks typically indicate gold purity, though occasionally items stamped as solid gold are only gold-plated. Most purity stamps are visible, though smaller items may require a jeweler’s loupe to verify.
Purity Testing (If Needed)
For items without stamps, we perform an Acid Scratch Test by marking the item on a touchstone to compare against a sample of known purity. Starting at 10kt, we move up to 14kt, 18kt, and so on, until the item no longer meets the next level’s purity, which helps us determine its karat grade.
Weighing
After sorting items by karat, we weigh them on a government-regulated and calibrated scale. This scale provides the exact weight in grams, visible for your review. If your valuables contain gemstones or inserts, we estimate their weight and subtract it from the final valuation.
Quote & Decision
We base our quotes on current gold market prices, factoring in each item’s purity and weight. Once provided with your quote, you may decide which items to sell. If you agree to proceed, we’ll carefully remove any stones or inserts (such as watch mechanisms or glass) and adjust the weight for a final quote. Removed items are returned to you.
Payment
Immediate payment is provided in cash on the spot.
Documentation
For compliance, we require a valid ID and document each item. A photo record is then submitted to the SPVM as required by law for all second-hand purchases.
Thank you for choosing us as your trusted partner in scrap gold purchases.
