Gold Buying Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy damaged, broken, or mismatched jewelry?
Yes. Gold value is determined by its karat purity and weight, not its physical condition. Mismatched earrings, broken clasps, severed chains, and worn-out rings are valued equally by weight.
How do you calculate the price for gold and diamonds?
Gold is priced using live international market spot prices, multiplied by the exact weight and karat purity. For diamonds and signed estate jewelry, we additionally evaluate stone cut, color, clarity, and market demand.
Do I need to make an appointment?
Walk-ins are always welcome during regular showroom hours (Tue - Fri 10am - 5pm, Sat 10am - 4pm). However, booking an appointment in advance guarantees dedicated one-on-one time with our head gemologist for large collections or estate evaluations.
