At Smart Gold – Hamilton, we don’t just test your gold and silver; we give you clarity you can trust.
Our process is thorough, precise, and designed to uncover the true value of your items. We begin with an immediate magnetic screening to eliminate non-genuine metals, followed by a detailed visual inspection using professional magnification to assess purity and markings. While stamps like 10k, 14k, or .925 may suggest value, they don’t always guarantee authenticity – and that’s where our expertise makes the difference.
For complete peace of mind, we offer advanced verification methods, including an acid scratch test (with your approval) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The result provides accurate, transparent, and reliable insight into exactly what you have.
No guesswork. No assumptions. Just results you can trust.
Bring in your gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or rhodium jewellery/items.
Please note that we do not buy gold or silver items that are plated or filled.
Our certified appraiser will give you a free, no-obligation quote based on the weight (measured in grams) and the purity of the contents.
A purchase offer is made using the latest, up-to-date market prices.
If you accept our offer, you will be paid on the spot, in cash. There are no hidden fees.
Please don’t hesitate to call or email us if you are unsure about something or would like more clarification. We are happy to further assist you.
