Xagau Exchange Labs helps families, executors, and downsizers understand and sell inherited gold, silver, coins, bullion, sterling, dental gold, and watches — professionally, transparently, and at fair market value.
We are not a full estate sale company. We don't deal in furniture, clothing, or household contents. What we do is focus entirely on the gold, silver, coins, bullion, sterling flatware, dental gold, and watches that are often found when settling an estate or clearing a family home.
These items carry real metal value that should be assessed before anything else in the estate is dealt with. Our role is to test them, explain what they are worth at today's market rates, and give you a clear offer — with no pressure to sell.
Settling an estate involves many responsibilities. We make the precious-metals portion straightforward — tested, valued, and documented on the spot.
Inheriting jewellery, coins, or silverware is common. We help you understand what you have before deciding whether to keep it or sell.
Moving to a smaller home or condo often means rethinking what to keep. We evaluate your gold, silver, and watches so you can make an informed decision.
Not sure if a piece is real gold or silver? We test items in front of you and explain what we find — no charge, no obligation.
If you've already received an offer elsewhere and want to compare, you're welcome to bring items in. We'll test them and give you our valuation independently.
Broken chains, single earrings, tangled or damaged pieces — these still carry full metal value and are welcome here.
We evaluate and buy the precious-metals items most commonly found in estate and inheritance situations. If you're unsure whether something qualifies, bring it in — testing is free.
Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendants in all karats — 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and higher.
Bent, broken, or incomplete pieces still carry their full metal value. Condition does not affect the gold content.
High-purity gold jewellery, coins, and small bars. We weigh, test, and offer based on current market rates.
Maple Leafs, Eagles, Krugerrands, Sovereigns, and other recognised gold coins and bars.
Canadian Maples, US junk silver, silver rounds, and bars. All evaluated at current spot value.
Knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces marked sterling or 925. Valued by weight and silver content.
Tea pots, creamers, sugar bowls, trays, and serving pieces in sterling silver — often significant in weight.
Crowns, bridges, and dental scrap. Dental alloys typically contain meaningful precious-metal content.
Gold-case watches, vintage timepieces, and estate watches. We evaluate based on metal content and condition.
Mixed jewellery boxes and inherited collections welcome. We sort and test each piece individually.
Any gold, silver, or platinum items received through inheritance — we evaluate them all, no minimums.
Small bars, commemorative ingots, and refinery bars in gold, silver, or platinum.
A straightforward five-step process — you stay informed at every stage and decide whether to proceed on your own terms.
Walk in during business hours. No appointment needed for most estate items. Bring whatever you have — sorted or unsorted.
We go through the items with you, testing each piece for metal content. Testing is done openly in front of you where practical.
We tell you the weight, karat or purity, and what each item is worth at today's market price. No jargon, no rushing.
You receive a clear offer based on the precious-metal content. No hidden deductions, no surprise fees.
There is no obligation to sell. If you choose to proceed, payment is available immediately. If not, you leave with your items and your information.
When a household is being cleared, gold, silver, coins, bullion, sterling flatware, and dental gold are sometimes mixed in with general household items and sold at general estate prices — or overlooked entirely.
Precious metals carry a market value tied to current spot prices, which is independent of age, condition, or aesthetic. A tarnished sterling tea set, an old box of coins, or a jewellery drawer full of broken pieces may carry considerably more value than their appearance suggests.
Having these items evaluated by a specialist before the estate is otherwise dealt with means families and executors know what they have — and can make informed decisions about whether to sell, distribute, or hold.
Where practical, items are tested in front of you. You see the scale reading. You hear the karat assessment. There are no calculations happening out of sight.
Our offer is based on the precious-metal content of the item and the current market price for that metal. We do not work from fixed price lists that haven't been updated in months. Metal prices move daily, and our offers reflect that.
If an item is gold-plated, silver-plated, or made of a non-precious alloy, we will tell you — clearly and without embarrassment. There is no charge for testing items that turn out not to be precious metal.
High-karat gold — 22K, 24K, and 999 fine — carries a higher precious-metal content than the 10K and 14K pieces more commonly seen in North American jewellery. Xagau buys all of these.
High-karat gold — particularly 22K and 24K pieces such as bangles, chains, coins, and small bars — is significantly denser and more valuable by weight than lower-karat pieces. If you have inherited jewellery you believe may be high-karat, bring it in for testing. We will confirm the karat, weigh the piece, and give you a straightforward market-value offer.
We also buy 22K and 24K gold coins and bullion, including internationally minted coins that may be part of an estate collection.
Sterling flatware — complete sets or individual pieces, loose or in original cases — contains 92.5% pure silver and is valued by weight at current silver spot prices.
Large estate pieces such as tea sets, trays, and serving bowls can represent a meaningful amount of silver weight. A full silver tea service, for example, may weigh considerably more than it appears.
We sort sterling from silver-plated pieces (which do not have precious-metal value), weigh the sterling items, and give you a clear offer based on today's silver price. Monogrammed, incomplete, or tarnished pieces are fully acceptable — only the metal content determines the value.
Walk-ins are welcome for most estate items. For larger collections, contacting us first can help make the review process more efficient.
For most estate items — a jewellery box, a few coins, a piece of flatware, or a watch — no appointment is needed. Visit us during business hours and we'll review your items on the spot.
Mon – Sat, 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM
Bay Atrium, Downtown Toronto
If you are dealing with a larger estate — multiple boxes of jewellery, significant flatware sets, a coin collection, or a mix of bullion and items — please contact us first. We can discuss the best approach for reviewing the lot and set aside enough time to go through everything carefully.
For very large estate collections, off-site review may be available by appointment — please enquire directly.
