Use Your Own Gold for Custom Jewelry

Transform Your Gold with Same Molecule Refining

With our "Same Molecule Refining" service, you can change any karat or color of gold into any other karat or color!

What Is Gold Refining?

Refining is the process of separating the pure gold from gold alloys like 14K or 18K. Most refining is done in huge lots where your gold is mixed with everyone else's. That means you're unlikely to get your same gold back.

How Is Same Molecule Refining Different?

Our service refines only your gold so the pure 24K gold that you get back is yours and only your sentimental gold. For example, you could bring us your grandparents' 18K yellow gold wedding rings and your 14K white gold sweet 16 necklace and get back the pure gold from your exact jewelry.

Same Molecule Refining is a specialized gold refining process where your gold is refined in isolation, never mixed with anyone else's metal. Traditional large-batch refining combines thousands of customers' gold together, so the pure gold you receive back is statistically yours, but not literally yours. With Same Molecule Refining, the gold that comes out is the exact gold that went in — the same atoms, from your own heirloom pieces, returned to you as pure 24K.

Note that there is a 1 ounce minimum for this service.

What Can Your Refined Gold Become?

The pure gold from your old jewelry can then be turned into any karat like 14K, 18K, 22K and any color such as yellow, white, rose or even green gold! That means you can have a custom jewelry project created for you with your sentimental family jewelry.

Trade Your Gold

You can trade your gold, silver or platinum for recycle credit.

Your credit can be applied to any purchase including ready-to-wear jewelry, custom-made jewelry or store credit to use later.

Or you can receive a check for the value of your gold or platinum.

Due to the current volatility of the silver market, we can only give you credit for your silver toward a purchase.

Use Your Gold, Platinum or Silver Directly

In some cases your gold, silver or platinum can be used in your new custom jewelry without any refining.

This pendant was created using two sentimental family wedding bands and an engagement ring. There are lots of creative and meaningful ways to incorporate family jewelry like this into something you can wear and keep close to your heart.

Another way to repurpose your gold without refining is to melt it and reform into another shape. To give you the best result, our team of designers and goldsmiths will advise you if your old jewelry would work well for this type of process. Not all old gold jewelry can be transformed in this way, but our team will examine your metal carefully and give you your best options.
