Gold Buying for Vancouver
Sell gold to an accountable CJA-member 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 35–45 minute drive from downtown — from an accountable Canadian Jewellers Association member with 150+ 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–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- Broken & unworn pieces — single earrings, tangled chains, outdated styles.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.
