Montreal's Trusted Gold & Silver Dealer

At FairGold Montreal, every evaluation follows a transparent five-step process: We sort and identify your items, test each piece with our Vanta GX PIN XRF analyzer (results displayed on screen), weigh items on a calibrated scale, calculate the offer using live Kitco market prices, and provide same-day payment in your chosen method. The entire process typically takes 10-15 minutes for standard items. You watch every step.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours — no appointment needed for standard jewelry, scrap gold, silver, or small coin transactions. For larger collections, estate jewelry, bullion, or home evaluations, call (514) 234-0192 in advance to reserve a private appointment. Our hours: Monday-Thursday 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Friday 10:00 AM - 2:30 PM, Sunday 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, Saturday closed.

Yes. Our specialized female mobile agent provides free home evaluations throughout Greater Montreal — the Island of Montreal, Laval, South Shore, and surrounding communities within approximately 25 km of our storefront. As required by Quebec law, the home visit is a preliminary assessment; the final transaction (including XRF testing and payment) takes place at our registered Côte-Saint-Luc storefront. Ideal for estate collections, elderly clients, and large jewelry collections. Call (514) 234-0192 to schedule.

Four payment methods — all at the same final price with no fees: Cash (substantial daily reserves, with 20-30 minute bank-fetching solution if needed), Interac e-Transfer (up to $10,000/day), same-day cheque, or wire transfer. Some Montreal dealers charge "cash convenience fees" — FairGold treats all payment methods equally. You choose what works best for you.

Yes. Broken, bent, tangled, or damaged gold and silver jewelry has the same per-gram value as intact pieces of the same purity. Our offer is based on metal content (weight × purity × spot price) — not whether the item is wearable. Bring single earrings, broken chains, scrap pieces, or items with missing stones. All are accepted at full per-gram value.

Yes to all three. Diamonds: We evaluate diamond jewelry based on the 4Cs (minimum 20 points / 0.20 carats, SI2 or better clarity). Watches: All brands evaluated through our consulting watch specialist. Dental gold: Crowns, bridges, inlays, and fillings accepted — XRF testing confirms exact gold content. Bring any certificates (GIA, IGI, EGL) for diamonds, original boxes/papers for watches.

Yes. We buy all real silver content: sterling silver (.925), European antique silver (.800, .835, .875), Russian Imperial (.916), French standard (.950), pure silver bullion (.999/.9999), and silver coins (pre-1968 Canadian, pre-1965 US, world silver coins). All silver is XRF-tested for exact purity. We do not buy silver-plated items (EPNS, EP, EPBM, 1847 Rogers Bros, etc.) — only real silver content.

Quebec regulations require valid government-issued photo ID for every precious-metals transaction, regardless of amount or payment method. Acceptable: Quebec driver's licence, Quebec health card with photo, Canadian passport, or provincial/territorial ID. We create a written transaction record kept strictly confidential — customer information is not reported to CRA or Revenu Québec. FairGold is registered with Revenu Québec and operates in full compliance with Quebec law.

Trust is built through transparent practices: XRF testing in your presence, Syson cash verification with manual recount invited, published market-based pricing, and written offers available on demand.

FairGold Montreal is located at the Côte-Saint-Luc Shopping Centre — 7075 Chemin de la Côte-Saint-Luc, Côte-Saint-Luc, QC H4V 1J2. Free outdoor parking directly in front of storefront, no meters or time limits. Closest metro: Plamondon (Orange Line), then STM bus 161 Van Horne westbound. Easy access via Décarie or Cavendish Boulevard. Open Sunday-Thursday with extended hours; Friday morning only; closed Saturday.

We use a Vanta GX PIN XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyzer — industrial-grade equipment specifically designed for precious metals testing. Unlike scratch tests that only confirm pass/fail at standard karats (10K, 14K, 18K), XRF measures the exact purity on screen in real time. This can mean 15-25% more money on undercarated pieces, since a "14K stamped" ring may actually contain only 50-53% pure gold. You see the precise reading before any offer is made.

Every banknote paid at FairGold is verified using a professional Syson mixed-denomination money counter with triple counterfeit detection — UV (ultraviolet ink patterns), MG (magnetic ink), and IR (infrared polymer features). This is the same standard used by Canadian banks. After the machine verification, you're invited to manually recount the cash before leaving. This two-step verification protects both parties from counterfeit currency and counting errors.
