Start with the people who already bought: read our customer reviews, or see us on Google. Then read why clients across Canada and the United States trust Rudix for solid gold medals built to wear every day. Our medals are solid karat gold (10k, 14k, or 18k as listed) — not plated, filled, or coated. Each piece is stamped for purity and backed by a Certificate of Authenticity in the box, so you know the karat matches what you ordered. Width (gauge), length, and clasp matter as much as the link style. Use the product page length and width on this page for sizing, then pick a gauge that fits how you wear it — alone, layered, or with a pendant. Clasps are tested before shipping so everyday open-and-close feels secure. Gold is sold by weight. We list approximate gram weight up front; your Certificate of Authenticity shows the actual weight of your piece. We come from wholesale roots (Soheil’s Gems since 2007; Rudix retail since 2017) — fewer middleman markups, clearer tickets. Soheil and Vicki run a Hamilton showroom, not a call-center checkout. Ask about size, chain length, photo fitting, or matching a chain — we explain options clearly so you feel confident before you spend. A good medal is meant to be worn for years: birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or just everyday style. Solid constructions handle daily life; hollow options stay lighter when you want presence without the same gram weight. Either way, we inspect solder, clasp, and finish before it leaves. Eligible medals include our 1-Year Limited Warranty — See What’s Included on this page for what comes with your medal.Why Choose Rudix for Your Gold Medal

Each medal shows one Availability label. Use that label to know when your piece will be ready — then we ship with free insured shipping (Canada & US), or hold it for Hamilton pickup. If the item is marked In Store (pickup or ship), it is ready at our Hamilton showroom. Choose pickup, or we can ship it out for you the same day when ordered during open hours (or the next business day if ordered after hours). If the item is marked Order to receive (~4 days), allow about 4 days after your order for readiness (or hold it for Hamilton pickup). That window covers quality inspection, Certificate of Authenticity, and premium packaging. If the item is marked Custom design (2–4 weeks), expect about 2 to 4 weeks when custom work applies — special sizes, finishes, or made-to-order medals. That covers careful finishing and paperwork when an appraisal or certificate is included. Need it for a date? Tell us — we will say honestly what is possible.
