Sell gold in Vancouver

Describe the items, any known metal purity and their condition. Photos of the whole piece and its markings, plus any existing documentation, help us understand what you have before a visit.

Photos help start the conversation. Testing and an in-person assessment are needed to establish the details used for an individual purchase quote.

Market conditions can change. Ask how long your quote is valid; a later assessment may result in a different offer. You decide whether to accept.

Send an inquiry or contact the laboratory to arrange a visit. We can discuss your items, what to bring and any applicable assessment terms before you come in.

The calculator converts the latest available gold spot price from US dollars per troy ounce into Canadian dollars per gram. It uses your gold purity and weight, then applies a buying margin. Melt estimates also include a purity allowance. Results are rounded to whole Canadian dollars.

The calculator shows two buying estimates with different margins. An assessment determines which category suits your items. Melt estimates reflect metal content after a purity allowance; the calculator does not value gemstones, a maker’s name or craftsmanship.

Select 9, 10, 14, 18, 22 or 24 karat gold and enter its weight in grams. For mixed purities, calculate each group separately. Exclude stones and other non-gold parts from the weight. If the purity is unknown, arrange testing.

Yes. Choose Silver, then 925 Jewellery, 925 Flatware or 925 Mexican, and enter the metal-only weight in grams. The estimate uses the latest available silver price, the CAD exchange rate and a buying adjustment for the selected type. Jewellery and flatware use a 92.5% silver basis; the 925 Mexican category retains the legacy calculator’s 78% valuation basis before its buying margin. This is a pricing allowance, not a statement of silver purity. Exclude stones, weighted bases and non-silver parts. Testing confirms the final offer.
