Please note: You must be 18 years or older to sell to The Village Goldsmith. We don't buy pearls, diamonds or gemstones. Items that are in sealed packaging will need to be removed for testing. The minimum quantity of gold we buy is 5 grams (a typical, simple gold band weighs ~3 grams). There's a $50 examination fee for more than five pieces of jewellery or gold to cover the cost of our jeweller’s time, this fee will be refunded should you accept the quote and go forward with the sale of your gold.
