Hong Kong Gold Recycling | Instant Gold Price Recycling for 999 Fine Gold, Gold Bars, Gold Coins, and Gold Jewelry

Cashing in Gold: From Quote to Payment in as Little as One Hour

Gold is different from other collectibles — its value is directly tied to international gold prices, fluctuating daily, even hourly. This means that gold recycling not only requires purity appraisal but also timeliness. Hesitating for an extra day when gold prices are high could mean losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Ancient Gold's gold recycling quotes are closely aligned with London spot gold prices and the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange Society market, updated daily. When customers call or WhatsApp for consultation, we provide an instant per-gram price. Once the transaction is confirmed, settlement is made on the spot, with no "payment tomorrow" situations.

What Kind of Gold Do We Recycle?

Simply put, as long as it contains gold, we buy it. However, different types of gold have different valuation methods for recycling:

Investment Gold Bars and Grains

999.9 pure gold bars (such as HSBC, Hang Seng, Chow Tai Fook brand gold bars) and gold grains are the most direct gold investment tools. Recycling valuation is based on the real-time gold price multiplied by weight, minus a very small handling fee difference. Brand gold bars, due to their serial numbers and purity certificates, usually receive quotes closest to market price. If the certificate is lost, it's not a problem; we can instantly confirm the purity with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

Investment Gold Coins

Internationally circulated investment gold coins such as Panda gold coins, Maple Leaf gold coins, American Gold Eagle coins, and Kangaroo gold coins, in addition to their gold content value, some vintages also have a collector's premium. For example, early Panda gold coins often fetch higher than their intrinsic gold value due to their limited mintage. We provide comprehensive quotes based on year, condition, and market demand.

Gold Jewelry — Gold Necklaces, Gold Rings, Gold Bangles, Gold Plaques

The most common form of gold for Hongkongers is jewelry — wedding dragon and phoenix bangles, gold plaques received during Chinese New Year, and antique gold bangles passed down from elders. The recycling price for these fine gold jewelry items (99% or higher gold content) is calculated based on weight and real-time gold price. Some old gold jewelry may be marked with "足金" (fine gold) or "999" for easy identification. If you are unsure of the purity, our X-ray fluorescence detector can provide precise readings in seconds without damaging the jewelry at all.

Gold Ornaments and Crafts

Fine gold statues of Guanyin, Buddha, gold boats, and other craft ornaments range in weight from tens of grams to hundreds of grams. Besides the value of their gold content, some limited edition or renowned works of art also have an additional artistic premium.

K Gold and Platinum

18K gold (75% gold content), 14K gold jewelry, and platinum (Pt950, Pt900) jewelry are also within our recycling scope. K gold is priced per gram based on its gold content ratio, and platinum is priced according to the international spot platinum price.

Purity Testing: 30-Second Results, Zero Damage

Some recyclers in the market use "fire testing" or "scratch testing" to determine gold purity, which can leave marks on the jewelry. Ancient Gold uses an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), a non-destructive testing equipment commonly used in international jewelry laboratories. By placing the gold on the testing platform, it can display the precise percentage of gold content and alloy components in about 30 seconds. The entire process does not involve acidic chemicals and leaves no marks — even if you don't sell it in the end, your jewelry remains in pristine condition.

You can observe the readings on the screen throughout the process. If you have any doubts about the purity results, you can request repeat testing, and we do not limit the number of times.

Why Sell Your Gold to Us Instead of a Jewelry Store?

Many people's first reaction is to sell their gold back to a jewelry store. However, jewelry stores usually offer recycling prices significantly lower than the market rate, as their core business is selling jewelry, not buying it. Ancient Gold specializes in recycling, offering per-gram prices closer to the market, especially for heavy gold bars and ornaments (over 50 grams), where the price difference advantage is even more pronounced.

Additionally, jewelry stores generally require you to bring your gold in person. If you have heavy gold ornaments or a large quantity of gold jewelry at home, we can arrange free on-site service throughout Hong Kong — our appraisers will bring the XRF testing equipment and electronic scales to your home, completing the purity testing, weighing, quoting, and settlement process on the spot. Payment methods include instant cash and FPS (Faster Payment System) instant bank transfer.

If you also have silver dollars or other collectibles such as porcelain or old RMB banknotes, one visit can handle everything. For details, please refer to Ancient Gold Service Areas.
