Royal Element pays the most for your gold, silver and platinum. We are committed to providing you with the highest possible payouts for your precious metals and provide the best possible customer service. Our pricing is not arbitrary; it’s meticulously calculated based on real-time market data, ensuring you always receive a fair and competitive offer. We believe in complete transparency, which is why we’re happy to explain exactly how we determine the value of your items.

1. Current Spot Price of the Metal:

   • The “spot price” is the real-time market value of pure gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, traded on major global exchanges. This price fluctuates throughout the day based on global supply and demand, economic indicators, geopolitical events, and currency values (especially the US Dollar).
   • We continuously monitor these live spot prices to ensure our offers are always up-to-the-minute and reflective of the current market. This means when gold prices are high, you get paid more!

2. Purity of Your Metal (Karat for Gold):

   • The purer your metal, the more valuable it is.
   • For Gold: Purity is measured in karats (kt). 24 Karat (24K) is 99.9% pure gold, while common jewelry karats like 10K, 14K, and 18K indicate a lower percentage of pure gold mixed with other alloys for durability.
     • 24K = 99.9% pure gold
     • 22K = 91.6% pure gold
     • 18K = 75% pure gold
     • 14K = 58.5% pure gold
     • 10K = 41.7% pure gold
   • For Silver, Platinum, and Palladium: Purity is typically expressed as a fineness number (e.g., .999 for 99.9% pure).
   • Our expert appraisers use precise testing methods (non-destructive where possible) to accurately determine the purity of each of your items.

3. Accurate Weight of Your Metal:

   • We use highly calibrated, certified scales to weigh your precious metals. Weight is typically measured in grams (g) or troy ounces (ozt).
   • Every milligram counts! Our precise weighing ensures you are paid for every fraction of an ounce or gram of precious metal content in your items.

Our Formula for Your Payout:

(Pure Metal Content in Grams/Ounces) x (Current Live Spot Price per Gram/Ounce) x (Our High Payout Percentage)

• Our High Payout Percentage: This is where Royal Element truly shines. Due to our efficient operations, high volume, and commitment to customer satisfaction, we are able to offer some of the industry’s highest payout percentages over the current spot price. We are consistently higher than pawn shops, general jewelers, and many online competitors.
