# Gold and silver: sell safely and without an intermediary
Selling your gold: a safe and transparent process
Many private individuals hesitate to sell their jewellery, coins or bars, fearing they will not get the right price or will fall into the trap of unscrupulous intermediaries.
At Gold & Silver Company, we have created a simple and reassuring model: allowing everyone to sell their gold and silver directly to the refinery, in complete safety, with clear prices and no intermediary.

No implicit commissions, no hidden fees and an immediate offer, based on COMEX prices, updated continuously. This is the guarantee of selling your precious metals at the fairest price, without any loss of value.

Transparent and immediate gold buyback: how does it work?
A clear and straightforward experience
From the moment they arrive, the customer discovers a single counter, open to everyone. In the waiting room, everyone has come for the same reason: to sell their gold. No separate queues, no differentiated treatment. The approach is democratic: whether it is 5 grams or 500 grams, every gram is valued at the same official price, without haggling or approximate calculation.
The atmosphere is both professional and reassuring. Everything is designed to inspire confidence: the transaction takes place entirely before the customer’s eyes, with no back room and no invisible handling.
The course of a transaction
Once at the counter, the customer presents an identity document and, if the value exceeds 500 euros, a bank account number, cash payment remaining possible below this threshold.
The gold is then placed in an armoured drawer, designed to protect the belongings while allowing direct control. The analysis then begins: hallmark verification, acid and touchstone tests, and the use if necessary of a spectrometer, a high-precision machine found only in professional foundries.
If the jewellery contains too much debris or scrap, a free melt can be carried out immediately. In less than ten minutes, the gold is melted, purified and ready to be evaluated. The weighing is then carried out to the nearest hundredth of a gram on a certified scale facing the customer. An immediate offer is then made, aligned with the COMEX price.
Administrative transparency
Once the offer is accepted, the administrative and banking formalities are completed. The customer receives an official copy of the transaction, guaranteeing the traceability and compliance of the operation. Payment is made immediately, by bank transfer, secure prepaid card or cash within the legal limit.
A fast and professional service
In practice, the entire process takes only a few minutes. Efficiency sacrifices nothing to rigour: each step is carried out with a professionalism rarely accessible to private individuals.
Selling your gold at Gold & Silver Company means experiencing an immediate, secure and fair buyback. A clear, fast and democratic process, which restores to every gram of gold the value it deserves.
