What we buy
We buy gold, diamond rings and fine jewellery, including pieces you have inherited or no longer wear. Bring them to your appointment and we will look at each piece with you.
How selling works
- Book an appointment. Use our booking page or call (905) 318-3456. Selling is by appointment only.
- Bring your pieces and government-issued photo ID. ID is required for every purchase (details below).
- We review your pieces with you. We explain what affects their value: the metal, its purity and weight, and any diamonds.
- You get an offer and decide. The choice to sell is yours.
Selling gold in Hamilton: what decides the value
Gold is valued on three things:
- Purity (karat). 10k gold is 41.7% pure gold, 14k is 58.3%, 18k is 75% and 24k is close to 100%. Look for a stamp inside a ring band or near a clasp: 10K / 417, 14K / 585, 18K / 750.
- Weight. Gold is weighed in grams. Heavier chains and bands are worth more.
- The gold market price on the day you sell. It changes daily.
We don't quote prices online or by phone. Offers are made in person at your appointment, with the piece in hand.
Selling a diamond ring in Hamilton
A diamond ring is valued on both its metal and its stone. For the diamond, the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight all matter. If you have a grading report (such as GIA or IGI) or the original receipt, bring it along. It helps, but it isn't required.
Not sure you want to part with the stone? Many people keep the diamond and have it set into a new ring or pendant. See custom jewellery design.
Or redesign it instead of selling
Old or inherited jewellery doesn't have to be sold. We redesign treasured heirlooms into new pieces. You see a sketch and a 3D render before anything is made. One customer wrote:
"He also melted heirloom rose-gold for my husbands band which was always his dream."

What to bring: photo ID is required
Under the City of Hamilton Licensing By-law 07-170 (Schedule 22), jewellery and precious-metals buyers must follow these rules for every purchase:
- Examine government-issued photo ID showing your name, date of birth, address and photo, such as an Ontario driver's licence or Ontario Photo Card.
- Record your name, address, phone number and the type of ID shown.
- Not buy from anyone who appears to be under 18, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
As the by-law requires, purchases are reported to Hamilton Police. Please also bring any receipts, appraisals or diamond grading reports you have. They help, but they are not required.

We buy gold, diamond rings and fine jewellery. Bring your pieces to an appointment at our shop at 1595 Upper James St in Hamilton and we will review them with you.
