HOW WE EVALUATE YOUR ITEMS

PRICING BASED ON REAL MARKET VALUE

Every item is different. We may examine its stamp, test the metal, verify its composition, weigh it carefully, and consider current market conditions before explaining your offer.

Your items are evaluated in front of you, with no pressure to sell.

Scroll to explore our evaluation process

01

Stamp & Hallmark Check

We begin by looking for karat stamps and identifying marks.

Marks such as 10K, 14K, 18K, 21K, 22K, 375, 585, or 750 can provide useful initial information. Because stamps can be worn, missing, or inaccurate, they are only one part of the evaluation.

02

Acid Testing

A controlled acid test can help determine the item’s metal purity.

When appropriate, the metal may be tested using professional testing acids and a jewellery testing stone. The reaction helps us compare the item with known purity standards.

04

Precision Weighing

Your items are weighed carefully using a professional jewellery scale.

Weight is considered together with purity and current market conditions. Stones, non-precious components, and the construction of the item may also affect the relevant precious-metal weight.

05

Karat & Purity

Different karats contain different proportions of pure gold.

For example, 10K, 14K, 18K, 21K, and 22K jewellery contain different percentages of pure gold. The confirmed purity is an important part of calculating the item’s precious-metal value.

06

Current Market Value

Gold, silver, and platinum market values change throughout the day.

We calculate your offer using current market conditions together with the item’s confirmed purity, relevant weight, and other characteristics. This section does not display or promise a live spot price.

07

Your Offer Is Explained

We bring the testing results together and explain how the offer was determined.

After reviewing the stamp, testing the metal, confirming purity, weighing the item, and considering current market conditions, we explain the offer clearly. You are never required to sell.

"I just sold some gold jewelry to Golden Star Jewellery. Ali was very professional and courteous and showed me step by step how he evaluated the price, even showing me the machine results and the scale. The amount he gave me was very fair. Great location with lots of parking. This place has to be the best place in the Lower Mainland to sell your gold jewelry!"

HOW WE BUY

When you bring your gold to us, we carefully evaluate each item using professional methods to ensure accurate and fair pricing.

While there are many ways to estimate gold purity at home, our in-store testing provides clear, reliable results you can trust.

Magnet test: Gold is not magnetic. If a piece reacts to a magnet, it may contain other metals. This is one of the first indicators we use during our evaluation process.

Hallmark verification: We inspect all stamps and hallmarks to identify the gold’s origin and purity. Our experience allows us to recognize authentic markings and detect inconsistencies.

Professional acid testing: This is the most accurate method for determining gold purity. Using specialized testing acids and a touchstone, we carefully test your item to identify its exact karat. Different acid strengths allow us to precisely measure purity levels. This process requires professional knowledge and experience to perform safely and correctly—ensuring you receive the most accurate evaluation possible.

In summary: By combining multiple professional testing methods—especially precise acid testing—we determine the true value of your gold with complete transparency and accuracy.
