Selling Platinum and Palladium
Platinum and palladium are the metals most often mistaken for something else — usually white gold or silver, both worth considerably less.
No appointment needed. No obligation to sell.
Live metal market
This is the market your offer is calculated against — not a chart printed last week. Your items are tested and weighed at the counter, and the arithmetic is done in front of you.

Before you sell
What to watch out for
A platinum ring sold as white gold is a real and common loss. They look alike, the marks are small and easily worn away, and a buyer who does not test carefully will default to the cheaper assumption. This is the category where testing in front of you matters most.
How we handle it
- Tested specifically rather than assumed to be white gold.
- Bars and coins from recognised refiners handled directly.
- Both metals priced against their own live markets, which move independently of gold.
- Palladium in dental and industrial forms also bought.
Bringing it in
Platinum jewellery is usually marked PT, PLAT or 950, but the mark is often worn. Bring anything you suspect might be platinum, including pieces you were told were white gold.

FAQ
Common questions
- How do I tell platinum from white gold?
- Usually you cannot by eye. Bring it and we test it.
- Does palladium track the gold price?
- No. Both platinum and palladium trade on their own markets and move independently.
- Do you buy platinum bars?
- Yes, from recognised refiners.
- What if I was told it was white gold?
- Bring it anyway. That is exactly the mistake worth checking.

Where our sellers come from
Our counter
Galt Ocean Mile
Our Fort Lauderdale counter is on this stretch of North Ocean Boulevard. For the oceanfront towers here it is a walk, and estate jewellery from these buildings is a large part of what crosses the counter.

5 min
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Minutes north on A1A. A older, settled population means estate lots rather than one-off pieces — often a full box after a house is cleared.

6 min
Coral Ridge
Six minutes south along Federal or Bayview. Many Coral Ridge sellers are downsizing rather than liquidating, which usually means sorted, well-kept pieces.
Explore →
9 min
Oakland Park
Straight west on Oakland Park Boulevard, and the easiest approach during season when A1A backs up.

12 min
Wilton Manors
A short run inland. We see a lot of watch and designer-piece questions from here, where the brand often matters more than the metal.

13 min
Downtown Fort Lauderdale
The Las Olas and downtown corridor. Convenient at lunchtime, and the reason we hold weekday hours rather than weekend-only.
