Do you pay for Diamonds or gem stones?

We do pay wholesale price for all diamonds received and will gladly accept them. However, if the diamonds are very small or bad quality we may not accept them as they sometimes break when we try to take them out of the settings. we do not pay for any other type of gem stones. You are welcome to remove any stones before sending your items. Or we can remove them for you if they are in a simple setting so you can keep them for the next time you need to make some jewellery.

Do I get retail value for my jewellery?

Retail stores mark up jewellery between 3 to 10 times their gold value, we pay only for the gold content of your jewellery. However a high amount of our customers that sold jewellery that was 10 or more years old received more than what they paid for it.

What if I have a valuation?

Valuations are done for insurance purposes, a valuer will appraise your jewellery based on “retail replacement value.” In other words, what will it cost to replace your jewellery if it is lost or stolen? The equation the use is: Gold content + Labor + Retail mar up. Therefore, valuations should not be used to determine its gold value, only its retail value.
