What does Kristiania purchase?

Kristiania purchases a wide range of precious assets, including gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and precious gems. This includes jewelry, coins, bullion, bars, estate collections, and mixed-metal items. Each asset is evaluated individually using industry-grade testing and current market data.

How is the value of my items determined?

Value is based on verified factors such as metal type, purity, weight, gem characteristics, and current market conditions. Our professionals explain how these factors apply to your items and how your offer is calculated. Pricing is market-driven and fully documented for transparency.

In many cases, evaluations are scheduled to ensure proper time and discretion. This allows our team to provide a thorough assessment and answer your questions without rushing the process. Contacting us in advance is recommended.

Is there any obligation to sell after an evaluation?

No. All evaluations and offers are provided with no obligation to sell. We believe sellers should have the information they need to make confident decisions without pressure.

Offers are typically provided promptly after evaluation. Timing may vary depending on the complexity of the items, but our process is designed to be efficient without sacrificing accuracy.

How and when is payment issued?

Once an offer is accepted, payment is issued quickly through secure methods. All transactions are documented so sellers have clear records for their reference.
