Looking to sell jewelry in Kelowna? 5 Star Gold Silver & Diamond reviews each piece for its precious-metal content, gemstones, condition, maker and current resale demand. Bring rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches or estate pieces to our Banks Road office for a clear, no-obligation offer. If you accept, payment is provided immediately.
As a jewellery buyer in Kelowna we deal only in precious metals, gemstones and finished jewellery, which is what separates us from a general secondhand or pawn operation. A shop that takes anything through the door prices for the risk of holding it; a specialist prices the metal, the stones and the workmanship on what they are actually worth. Bring your pieces to 307 Banks Road, Unit 206, seven days a week between 9:00 and 17:00.
Each item is reviewed individually so you can understand what contributes to the offer.
Not ready to sell yet? You can have your jewellery appraised first.
We review a range of jewellery and related valuables, including:
Most of what comes across the counter is not an heirloom or an investment. It is old jewellery: pieces bought in another decade, gifts that were never worn, a chain that broke and was never repaired, earrings that lost their partner, a ring that no longer fits. People tend to assume items like these are not worth the trip, and that assumption is wrong more often than it is right.
Age and style have almost no bearing on the metal value. A dated 14k chain from the 1980s carries the same gold per gram as a new one of the same weight and purity. What has changed since you bought it is the gold price, not the piece.
Two things are worth knowing before you decide something is not worth bringing in:
If some of what you bring turns out to be worth more as jewellery than as metal, because of the maker, the period or the stones, we set those aside and assess them on their own rather than weighing them as scrap. You see both figures and choose.

These answers explain what to expect when you bring jewellery to our Kelowna office.
It can. Signed or designer pieces may have resale value beyond their metal and gemstone content. We consider the maker, model, condition, materials and current demand when reviewing an item.
Yes. We buy broken or damaged jewellery. The offer depends on the remaining precious metal, gemstones, condition and whether the piece has resale value.
Estate jewellery is reviewed for its precious-metal content, gemstones, condition, maker, period and current resale demand. Learn more about selling estate jewellery in Kelowna.
Yes. You can bring a single piece or a group of items. Each item is reviewed so you can decide what, if anything, you want to sell.
No. An outside appraisal is not required for a selling appointment. Existing paperwork may be helpful for branded pieces or gemstones, but we will still assess the item before making a no-obligation offer.
Usually, yes. Precious-metal value is tied to purity and weight rather than to whether a design is current, so a dated piece and a new one of the same karat and weight are worth much the same. Style affects resale value only for pieces that are worth more intact than as metal, and those are assessed separately.
A pawn shop handles a wide range of secondhand goods and prices for the risk of holding and reselling unfamiliar items. We buy only precious metals, gemstones and jewellery, so a piece is assessed on its metal purity and weight, its stones, its maker and its resale demand rather than on a general estimate.
