At TGR Precious Metals, we create heirloom-quality jewelry from ethically sourced gems and precious metals, many recovered and refined by hand.

From raw stone to finished piece, transparency, integrity, and lasting value guide everything we make.

TGR Precious Metals - Gold & Silver Consignment Program
Welcome to our Gold & Silver Consignment Program, where trust and transparency come first.
We know how personal and valuable your jewelry and bars can be — that’s why TGR Precious Metals treats every piece like it’s our own. Whether you’re sitting on broken jewelry, old coins, or unwanted gold bars, we’ll help you turn it into something meaningful again — without pawnshop games or hidden fees.

💼 How It Works
1️⃣ Send It In – Safely
Ship your jewelry, coins, or bars to us using insured, trackable shipping. We’ll even help you figure out the best way to package it.
2️⃣ Inspection & Testing
When your items arrive, we record everything on video — unboxing, testing, and weighing your pieces. You’ll get photos or a short video showing exactly what we received and the karat or purity test results.
3️⃣ Refining or Sale
We carefully melt or sell your items based on their gold or silver content. If gemstones are in your jewelry, we remove them before melting — and you can choose whether you’d like them returned or for us to keep them to help cover refining costs.
4️⃣ Transparent Payout
Once your metal is sold or refined, you’ll receive an itemized statement showing the weight, purity, sale price, and our small commission. You’ll receive your payout within 2–5 business days after the sale.

💎 Gemstone Handling
If your jewelry has stones, we gently remove them before melting.
You can:
✅ Ask for your stones back, or
✅ Let us keep them in exchange for a much higher payout on your gold or silver.
Either way, it’s fully your choice — you stay in control.
