Process to sell your gold

We provide a private, confidential and comfortable environment to trade and sell your jewellery. Complete our enquiry form below or phone us at 04 473 5253 to arrange an appointment at our Wellington showroom.

During your consultation we’ll assess and weigh your jewellery, take images of your goods and perform electrical conductivity and other testing to determine the gold’s purity. Next, we’ll provide you with a valuation and payout quote. Please note that the minimum quantity of gold we buy is 5 grams (a typical, simple gold band weighs ~3 grams) and there is a $50 examination fee for more than five pieces of jewellery or gold to offset the cost of our jeweller’s time. This fee will be refunded should you accept the quote and go forward with the sale of your gold.
Once you’ve approved your final quote, we’ll schedule payment directly into your bank account. We schedule payments daily on weekdays at 2.30pm and you’ll receive an email confirmation of payment once it’s been loaded.

Please note: We don't buy pearls, diamonds or gemstones - charges may apply for stone removal and return. Items that are in sealed packaging will need to be removed for testing.
