Q: Is there anything you don't buy?

A: We do not purchase plated gold, if you have any items with the following markings please do not include them in you shipment:

GE or GF - Gold Filled | RGP - Rolled Gold Plate | EPNS - Electroplated Nickel Silver | HGE - Heavy Gold Plate | GS - Gold Shell | GP - Gold Plate | KP - Karat Plated

These markings will be found after the hallmark such as this 10k GF, this is an example of something we would not purchase, the actual gold content is too small to have any market value.

Q: What about gemstones? Do you buy them?

A: We do not currently purchase gemstones, if they are easily removed we will remove them, return them to you and purchase the gold content only of your items, otherwise they are included in the weight of your items.

Q: What if I'm not sure if my items are gold or there is no hallmark?

A: You many send your items, our highly skilled staff has the testing equipment and knowledge to determine if your items are gold and their exact karat.

Q: What are the benefits of sending you my precious metals?

A: Firstly, you'll turn your unwanted gold, silver and platinum into cash. Secondly you'll be taking a big step in saving the environment. Did you know that Gold mining ravages large expanses of the globe, displaces indigenous populations, and poisons drinking water and that two-thirds of newly mined gold comes from open-pit mining. Open-pit mines produce eight to 10 times as much waste rubble as underground mines. This rubble is made up mostly of Ore which generates huge quantities of waste. Every ounce of gold produced results in 30 tons of mine waste! So yes, you're definitely helping to preserve the environment.
