Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I sell gold in Canberra?
You can sell to Vivid Jewels, by appointment in Canberra. Every piece is tested and weighed in front of you and priced on the day’s gold price. If you like the price, you’re paid on the spot.
Is the quote free?
Yes. It’s a free quote with no obligation. Sit down, take your time, and if you like the price, you’re paid on the spot. If not, you’re free to walk away. We love jewellery and we’re always happy to help.
How is my offer worked out?
Fully transparently. Every piece is tested and weighed in front of you, and the weight, karat and day’s gold price go into a spreadsheet with everything in front of you. You can even take it away, and if you want to decide later, you’re welcome to come back.
If I don’t sell now, do I get the same price when I come back?
The price is set by the gold price on the day you sell. When you come back, we just change the day’s gold price and the whole list updates.
Do you buy broken gold and single earrings?
Yes. Broken and damaged pieces are bought for the gold they hold.
Do you pay for Diamonds and gemstones?
Yes. Every stone is checked by a gemstone expert, and you’re paid extra when a stone is worth it. You’re also welcome to keep your stones.
Is a designer piece worth more?
A designer piece can be worth more than its gold. Every piece is checked for a maker’s mark.
What happens to gold after I sell it?
Pieces of resale quality may be cleaned up and sold again. Broken and worn pieces are refined back into pure gold. Either way, gold never disappears.
Do you buy men’s gold chains?
Yes. Curb, figaro, rope and belcher chains are all welcome, along with bracelets and signet rings. Read the guide to selling a men’s gold chain.
