Gold Buying for Vancouver
Sell gold to an accountable local jeweller instead of a pop-up cash-for-gold booth. Transparent pricing benchmarked to the live spot price, a short trip from Vancouver to our Coquitlam store.
Selling gold and based in Vancouver? Skip the pop-up cash-for-gold booths. Vanhess Jewellery buys gold jewellery, scrap, and coins at our Coquitlam workshop (a short Millennium Line ride or 35 to 45 minute drive from downtown), from an accountable local business with 239+ five-star Google reviews. We test and weigh in front of you, show how the offer is calculated against the live market price, and pay on the spot.
What we buy
- Gold jewellery: rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants in 10k to 22k.
- Broken & unworn pieces: single earrings, tangled chains, outdated styles.
- Gold coins & small bars: bullion and collectible gold, assessed on content.
- Scrap & dental gold: assessed by purity and weight.
Why sell to a real jeweller
A working jeweller assesses your gold properly: we test for purity and weigh on a calibrated scale, then base the offer on the live gold spot price for that karat and weight, less a transparent margin, with the karat, weight, and maths shown to you. Unlike a melt-only booth, we look at whether a piece has design or stone value worth more than scrap. The gold market leans heavily on recycling: the World Gold Council’s 2024 report shows recycled gold at roughly 27.5% of total supply.
Getting here from Vancouver
We’re a two-minute walk from Coquitlam Central SkyTrain on the Millennium Line, with free parking if you drive. Bring photo ID (required for BC second-hand dealer records). If your gold is worth more redesigned than melted, we’ll tell you, and you can put the value toward a custom piece instead.
Gold-selling questions
Is it worth the trip from Vancouver?
For anything beyond a token amount, a proper jeweller’s assessment (transparent spot-price-based pricing and a look at design value) usually beats a quick booth. We’re a short SkyTrain ride or drive away.
How do you calculate the offer?
Purity test, weight, then the live spot price for that karat and weight, less a clear margin. You see every step before deciding.
What do I need to bring?
Photo ID (BC second-hand dealer rules require it) and your gold. No appointment needed.
What karats of gold do you buy?
We buy 10k, 14k, 18k, and 22k gold jewellery, coins, small bars, and scrap. Every item is purity-tested before we make an offer.
Do you pay cash on the spot?
Yes, once you accept our offer, you're paid the same visit.
Is it worth driving from Vancouver instead of selling downtown?
For anything beyond a token amount, yes. A working jeweller's transparent, spot-price-based offer usually beats a downtown cash-for-gold booth, and we're a short SkyTrain ride away.
Do you buy broken or unworn pieces?
Yes, single earrings, tangled chains, and outdated styles are all assessed by purity and weight, the same as complete pieces.
Do you buy gold coins and small bars?
Yes, bullion and collectible gold, assessed on content the same way jewellery is.
