We accept several forms of payment. In-stock items can typically be purchased the same day.

Please contact us or visit the store and we’ll walk you through the options and timelines. 

Our showroom is primarily focused on gold and silver jewelry—rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and unique pieces. We also offer select watches and special finds as available.

Sales tax rules vary by product type and current Idaho requirements. If sales tax applies to your purchase, we’ll clearly explain it before you check out.

Many customers choose a mix of gold and silver for balance. The right approach depends on your goals—budget, time horizon, and whether you’re buying for collecting, gifting, or long-term holding. We’re happy to talk through options. 

In general, purchases are private. However, federal law requires reporting when a business receives more than $10,000 in physical cash within a 24-hour period (including related transactions). If this applies, we’ll let you know what documentation is required.  

Precious metals are measured in troy ounces, not regular kitchen ounces.

• A round/medallion is produced by a private mint and typically has no denomination.
• A bar may be made by either a government or private mint and has no denomination.
