Toronto's Trusted Gold Jewelry Buyer

Absolutely! GoldAgo purchases all types of broken, damaged, or incomplete gold jewelry. Whether you have a broken chain with missing links, a single earring from a lost pair, a ring with missing stones, or heavily damaged pieces beyond repair, we value them based purely on their gold content. Our advanced refining process can extract all gold value regardless of the condition or completeness of your jewelry. Many customers prefer selling their broken jewelry items rather than paying for costly repairs that often exceed the value of the jewelry itself. We provide same-day payment for all broken gold jewelry transactions.

GoldAgo accepts gold jewelry in all karat purities from 8K to 24K, including 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K. Higher karat pieces naturally receive premium pricing due to their increased gold content. For example, 18K gold at 75% purity will command a higher per-gram rate than 14K gold at 58.3% purity. We also purchase gold jewelry with varying purity standards from different countries, including European 8K and 9K pieces, as well as Asian 22K jewelry. Each piece is tested individually to determine exact karat purity for accurate valuation.

GoldAgo specializes in purchasing designer gold jewelry from recognized luxury brands including Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bvlgari, Chopard, Piaget, and others. Designer pieces are valued for both their gold content and brand significance, often commanding premiums above standard gold jewelry. Our experts are trained to identify authentic designer pieces, hallmarks, and signatures that add value beyond melt price. We also purchase designer jewelry from contemporary brands as well as vintage pieces from famous jewelry houses.

GoldAgo offers competitive pricing at 85-95% of current market spot price for gold jewelry, based on karat purity and total weight. Our 14K and 18K gold jewelry purchases represent our highest volume categories. Premium pricing is available for designer pieces, estate collections, vintage items, and large transactions. We display current market rates in our showroom and update our pricing daily to reflect global gold market fluctuations. For transactions over $5,000, we offer enhanced rates. Contact us for a custom quote based on your specific gold jewelry items.

You do not necessarily need to remove gemstones before selling your gold jewelry to GoldAgo. We can evaluate gold jewelry with stones intact and deduct the estimated stone weight from our calculations. However, for valuable diamonds and significant gemstones, we often recommend removing them before selling, as the stones may have value beyond their weight in gold. Alternatively, we can make you an offer on the complete piece including both gold and stone content. Our experts can help you determine the best approach for maximizing your return on jewelry pieces with gemstones.

Our showroom is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

GoldAgo purchases gold jewelry with engravings, inscriptions, or personalization without issue. The presence of engraving does not affect the melt value of the gold content, though extremely sentimental or historically significant engravings may add collectible value for certain pieces. Whether your gold jewelry has names, dates, messages, or other personalized engravings, we evaluate it based on the same criteria as our other gold jewelry purchases—karat purity and total weight.

To sell gold jewelry to GoldAgo, you must provide valid government-issued photo identification such as a driver's license, passport, or provincial ID card. This requirement applies to all transactions regardless of amount. For transactions exceeding $10,000, additional documentation may be required under Canadian anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. We maintain detailed transaction records for all purchases and can provide documentation for your records. Estate executors and legal representatives should contact us about specific documentation requirements for estate liquidations.

Gold jewelry value is calculated using a straightforward formula: (Weight in grams) × (Karat purity ÷ 24) × (Current spot price per gram) × (Percentage offered). For example, 10 grams of 14K gold (58.3% pure) at $60 per gram spot price with 90% payout would calculate as: 10 × 0.583 × 60 × 0.90 = $315.30. Our Toronto gold exchange uses real-time London Fix pricing updated daily. We deduct nothing for refining or middlemen—our payout percentage reflects our direct access to precious metals refineries. Higher karat gold such as 18K or 22K receives higher per-gram rates due to increased pure gold content.

GoldAgo specializes in purchasing gold jewelry from estates and works regularly with estate executors, attorneys, and family members handling estate liquidations. We offer discrete, professional service for estate executors and provide complete documentation including probate inventory spreadsheets, detailed valuation certificates, and receipts suitable for legal and tax purposes. Our estate buying services include private viewing rooms, comprehensive evaluations of entire jewelry collections, and same-day payment to assist with estate settlement timelines. We understand the sensitive nature of estate liquidations and handle each transaction with professionalism and discretion.
