Canada’s Gemstone Buyer

We Make Selling Your Gemstones Easy

Expert appraisals covering size, quality, craftsmanship, and market conditions with a no-obligation quote.

While we specialize in the purchase of gold and diamonds, our goal is to offer the best price and advice when selling all jewelry—including items with other gemstones.

To maximize the value of your jewelry, our payouts are not only based on the melt or wholesale value of your gold and gemstones, but also on the resale value of vintage and premium pieces.

As a rule of thumb, if a single diamond is over 0.25 carats or a colored gemstone is over 1.00 carats, that gemstone may either have significant resale value itself or substantially increase the resale value of the piece of jewelry it is set in.

Diamonds

The The popularity of diamonds has resulted in a very robust resale market, so we are able to purchase diamonds of all sizes. 

For diamonds over 0.25 carats, we provide a complimentary, no-obligation grading and purchase offer. Our GIA certified gemstone buyers in Canada have years of experience evaluating diamonds. Contact your nearest location for details.

For diamonds under 0.25 carats each, drop in anytime for your offer. For diamonds in this size range, payouts are either based on the size range and weight of the diamonds, or the entire jewelry piece is valued as a premium item. 

Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires

For single rubies, emeralds, and sapphires that are over one carat In terms of size, we offer complimentary, no-obligation appointments to make an offer on the gemstone. Our prices are based on the market value of the gemstones, but for items set in jewelry, the price may increase based on the style, era, and desirability in the resale market.

For Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires under $1.00 each, drop by one of our buying locations anytime. Your jewelry, including the gemstones, will be carefully valued based on craftsmanship, brand, and market desirability. Upon completion, we will provide you with a competitive estimate. At this gem size range, in most cases we evaluate the item as a premium piece with a higher payout schedule.

Other Gemstones

For other gemstones (including topaz, opals, garnet, jade, and pearls), our ability to pay for these gemstones depends on many factors. Unfortunately, there is no general rule of thumb for what we are able to purchase, but in our experience, many of these gemstones that we see have limited resale value. That said, we take into account all factors including size, quality, brand, craftsmanship, and market conditions when determining if we can offer on one of these gemstones. Any of our precious metals buyers will be able to provide an initial assessment and offer based on your piece, so drop in or call anytime!
