Everything You Need to Know

Find answers to the most common questions about Jewel Castle's gold buying process.

Gold Evaluation

We use a two-step process: First, your gold ornament is tested for purity using our non-destructive XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyser. Then it is weighed on a calibrated precision scale. The final offer is calculated based on the verified purity percentage, the exact weight in grams, and the current live gold market rate.

The purity analysis takes just 30 seconds with our XRF machine. The complete process — evaluation, weighing, pricing, and payment — is typically completed within 15–20 minutes from when you walk in.

Yes. We evaluate all karats — 24K (99.9%), 22K (91.6%), 18K (75%), and lower purities. Our XRF technology accurately determines the exact gold content regardless of the karat, so you always receive the accurate value for whatever you bring.

Purity Testing

Absolutely. Our XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) purity analysis is completely non-destructive. Your ornament is not melted, scratched, acid-tested, or altered in any way. You can take your jewellery back in exactly the same condition if you choose not to proceed with the sale.

XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) is a highly advanced, non-destructive elemental analysis technology used by professional gold refineries and testing laboratories worldwide. It accurately identifies the exact gold content percentage in a sample within seconds, with very high precision. It is far more accurate than acid testing or touchstone methods.

Yes. We evaluate all karats — 24K (99.9%), 22K (91.6%), 18K (75%), and lower purities. Our XRF technology accurately determines the exact gold content regardless of the karat, so you always receive the accurate value for whatever you bring.
