Bring your gold, silver or platinum into our Cambridge store and find out what it is actually worth. We read the purity on screen while you watch, show you the maths behind the number, and hand you the cash before you leave. Walk in any time we are open.
Most people who walk in here are not sure what they have. A box of mixed chains from a parent’s house, a ring that has not fitted in years, coins someone bought decades ago. You do not need to know the karat, the weight or whether it is even real. That is what the test is for, and the test costs you nothing.
Rings, chains, bracelets and earrings in any condition, tested in front of you.
Bars and rounds priced at the live market rate, with a full breakdown.
Old, unworn or broken pieces, valued on their actual gold content.
Investment-grade and collectible coins, weighed and tested live.
Crowns, bridges and scrap, valued on their real gold content.
Coins, silverware, bars and platinum at live market rates.
No appraisal booking, no sending anything away, no waiting on a cheque. A visit usually takes under twenty minutes.
01
Walk in with whatever you have. No appointment, no minimum, no need to sort or clean anything first. One ring or a full jewellery box, both are welcome.
02
See the purity read out. Your items go under the XRF analyzer at the counter and the composition appears on screen. Then we weigh each piece in front of you and work the offer from the day’s market rate.
03
Take the cash the same visit. Say yes and you are paid before you leave. Say no and your items go home with you, with nothing owed for the appraisal.
We test your gold with a non-destructive XRF analyzer at the counter, so you see the exact composition.
Accept our offer and walk out with your payment the same visit. No waiting, no posting your gold away.
We test and value your items at no cost. If you are not happy with the offer, you simply keep your gold.
Every offer is based on the live market rate, purity, and weight, explained clearly before you decide.

We are Coming Soon in Cambridge, ON [postal code], with free parking on site and quick access from Highway 401 and Highway 8.
We are open [days and hours]. No appointment is needed; you are welcome to walk in any time during opening hours.
None needed. Walk in during opening hours and we will handle it there and then. If you are bringing a large lot and would rather not wait, call ahead and we will keep a counter free for you.
Three figures produce the offer: the market rate for that metal on the day, the purity the analyzer reads, and the weight on the scale. We show you all three. Nothing is weighed in a back room and no number arrives without the calculation behind it, so you can check the arithmetic before you decide.
The gold price moves every day and is quoted internationally per troy ounce, then converted to Canadian dollars per gram. We work from the live rate on the day you visit and show it to you at the counter, so you are never guessing what your offer was based on.
An XRF analyzer reads the metal composition using x-ray fluorescence, which means no cutting, no filing and no acid on your item. It works the same way on jewellery, coins, bars and raw or melted metal, and it tells us what an item actually is rather than what its stamp claims. The reading happens on the counter, on screen, in front of you.
Your items and valid government-issued photo ID. Ontario requires ID from anyone selling precious metals, so a driver’s licence, passport or provincial photo card. Nothing else is needed: no receipts, no certificates, no proof of purchase.
Yes, and it makes no difference to the price per gram. A snapped chain, a bent ring, one earring from a lost pair, a tangled handful of odds and ends; the metal in a damaged piece is identical to the metal in a perfect one. Do not spend money repairing anything before you bring it in.
Yes, as long as it is properly hallmarked. Silverware is heavy, so the weight adds up quickly. We buy silver coins, bars and silverware alongside gold and platinum.
Insist on three things. One, your items stay in your sight through testing and weighing. Two, the buyer tells you the market rate they are working from and how they got to the offer. Three, the appraisal is free and the offer carries no obligation, so you can leave and compare. Any buyer who tests out of sight, quotes a flat number with no explanation, or charges a testing fee is one to walk out of.
They are different businesses with different economics. A pawn shop makes its money on the loan and on resale, so it prices your item as inventory it may need to sit on. A jewellery store prices against what it can retail the piece for. We buy for the metal itself and price off the market rate, which is why it is worth getting an offer here before you accept one elsewhere.
Selling personal jewellery or scrap gold is usually treated as a personal transaction, while selling investment bullion at a profit can create a capital gain you need to report. The rules depend on what you sold and what you originally paid, so check with an accountant or the Canada Revenue Agency for your own situation. We cannot give tax advice.
