Key points before selling your gold at an agency

Before going to an agency, it's a good idea to prepare the items you wish to present for appraisal. These may include gold jewelry, gold coins, gold bars, single rings or pendants. Gathering these items in advance will facilitate the appraisal and make the appointment smoother.

Likewise, no special preparation is required for the condition of the objects. In particular, there's no need to clean or polish the jewels before presenting them: the appraisal is based on the analysis of the metal and its titration, independently of the aesthetic aspect. Professionals have the right tools to carry out the necessary checks.

As far as documents are concerned, regulations require the presentation of a valid identity document when buying back gold. If you have it, certain additional elements can also facilitate identification of the goods presented, such as a purchase invoice, certificate, original case or any reference associated with the object. However, the absence of such evidence does not generally prevent an estimate from being made.

It is also common for customers to consult the price of gold per gram. This information is a useful benchmark for monitoring market trends, but the final estimate will always depend on several precise criteria: the titration, the exact weight of the objects and the redemption conditions applied at the time of analysis.

Expertise and transparency at the heart of the customer experience

When you arrive at a Godot & Fils agency, an expert will greet you to help you understand the process and answer your initial questions. Whether you're looking to sell unused jewelry, rebalance part of your estate or convert certain assets into cash, this initial exchange will give you the opportunity to clarify your expectations and set a precise framework before any appraisal.

The appraisal is then carried out according to a rigorous professional method. The specialists identify alloys, check hallmarks where present, and then, if necessary, carry out additional tests to determine the precise titration of the metal.

In our Godot & Fils branches, our experts are also equipped with a spectrometer, an advanced analytical device that enables the exact composition of the metal to be identified quickly and easily. This technology brings additional precision to the assessment and reinforces the reliability of the appraisal.

Transparency is also a central principle of this approach. Every step is explained to the customer, from the analysis of the objects to the calculation of the buy-back proposal. This approach ensures a precise understanding of the criteria taken into account in the appraisal, and enables the transaction to be approached in a climate of trust.

This approach, focused on clarity and support, enables customers to follow each stage of the appraisal with complete peace of mind.

A customer who recently made his first appointment at a Godot & Fils agency sums up the experience perfectly: "I made my first appointment at a Godot & Fils agency and was able to follow the whole process. The expert clearly explained the valuation method and the calculation based on the gold price. I appreciated his availability to answer all my questions, with a free and immediate estimate. An experience that was both reassuring and highly educational."
