Frequently Asked Questions

How much gold do I need to trade in for a new piece?

Any amount of gold has value for trade-in. Even small pieces like single rings or earrings contribute to reducing your new jewellery costs. We assess all gold regardless of quantity and provide fair market value credit toward your custom design.

Can you use stones from my old jewellery in the new piece?

Absolutely! We carefully remove diamonds, gemstones, and pearls from your existing pieces. These stones can be incorporated into your new design at no additional cost, preserving their sentimental and monetary value.

How long does the trade-in and custom design process take?

Most custom pieces take 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion. The timeline includes gold assessment, design creation, crafting, and finishing. Complex pieces or those requiring special stone setting may take longer.

What if my trade-in value isn't enough for the new piece I want?

No problem! Your gold trade-in value reduces the total cost of your new piece. You simply pay the difference between the trade-in credit and the final design cost. This approach often saves hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Is there a warranty on custom pieces created through trade-in?

Yes, all custom pieces come with our comprehensive warranty covering craftsmanship and structural integrity. This includes ongoing maintenance support and quality assurance for years to come.

Can you reuse my actual gold instead of trading it in?

Yes, we can selectively reuse your gold for suitable pieces like bangles and simple items. However, we typically recommend our trade-in approach as we cannot guarantee the purity or structural integrity of old gold. This ensures your new piece meets our highest quality standards.
