Precious Metal Testing & Authentication Methods

When you buy precious metals or sell precious metals, authenticity is critical. Our evaluation process includes several professional testing methods designed to verify metal content and purity.

Visual Inspection

The first step is identifying hallmarks or stamps indicating metal purity. Common markings include:

  • - .999 fine gold or silver
  • - .925 sterling silver
  • - 10k, 14k, 18k, or 24k gold

These stamps provide an initial indicator of metal composition.

Precision Weighing

Precious metals are measured using troy ounces, the standard weight used in global bullion markets. Accurate digital scales ensure precise valuation.

Sigma Metalytics Testing

For bullion and investment metals, we utilize Sigma Metalytics technology, which verifies precious metal composition without damaging the item. This advanced testing helps confirm authenticity and internal metal consistency.

Acid Testing (when applicable)

Certain jewelry or scrap items may require traditional acid testing to confirm metal content. This method safely verifies purity without harming the piece.

These methods ensure that every transaction involving buying or selling precious metals is based on verified authenticity and current market pricing.
