Platinum (Pt): The Standard of Rarity

Platinum is a dense, stable, and incredibly rare metal, prized in fine jewelry and critical industrial applications. Its substantial weight is a key identifier—a platinum ring will feel significantly heavier than a gold one of the same size. Its purity and rarity command a premium price.

We are actively buying all forms of platinum, including:

• Platinum Jewelry: Often marked with “PLAT,” “PT,” “950,” or “900.” We purchase rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
• Platinum Bullion: Investment-grade coins (like American Platinum Eagles) and bars from recognized mints.
• Industrial & Medical Platinum: Thermocouple wire, laboratory crucibles, medical stents, and other industrial scrap containing platinum.

Palladium is a silvery-white metal belonging to the same group as platinum. It is lighter, harder, and has become a critical component in modern technology, most notably in automotive catalytic converters. Its immense utility has made it one of the most valuable precious metals.

You may have valuable palladium in:

• Automotive Catalytic Converters: As a key emissions-control component, these contain significant amounts of palladium and platinum.
• Palladium Jewelry: A hypoallergenic alternative to white gold, often stamped “PALL” or “PD950.”
• Dental Alloys: Used in some dental crowns and bridges for its durability and biocompatibility.
• Palladium Bullion: Investment coins (like Canadian Palladium Maple Leafs) and bars.

Selling these metals requires more than just a scale. It demands specialized equipment and deep market knowledge. Choosing the right buyer is the single most important factor in getting the best price.

• Specialized Expertise & Technology: General pawn shops or “cash for gold” businesses often lack the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers needed to accurately assess platinum and palladium. They may misidentify them or make a low-ball offer to cover their risk. At Royal Element, we use advanced technology to verify the exact purity of your items right in front of you.
• Top-Dollar Payouts, Guaranteed: Because we are specialists, we have a direct-to-refinery process that cuts out middlemen. This efficiency, combined with our expert knowledge, allows us to offer the most competitive, top-dollar prices in the Five Corners and greater Vancouver area, based on the live market data of June 2025.
• Local Security and Transparency: Selling high-value metals like platinum and palladium should be done securely. Avoid the significant risk of mailing your assets to an unknown online entity. Our professional establishment in Vancouver provides a secure, face-to-face transaction where you can ask questions and see the entire valuation process firsthand.
• Immediate, No-Obligation Offers: We will test your items and provide you with a firm, no-pressure offer on the spot. If you choose to sell, you walk out with immediate payment.

Don’t settle for less from a non-specialist. Bring your platinum and palladium to the experts who recognize their true worth.
