Investment metal
Bars and sovereign coins

CHRYSOS
A private desk for gold that settles cleanly
Quiet buyback across Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Vietnam, the UAE, Turkey, and the United States.
The assay method
From first gram to final wire
A four-stage desk ritual built from Hong Kong gold houses, Singapore licensed dealers, Dubai Souk tempo, and U.S. insured ship-in.
-
01
Share weight and karat cues
Send hallmarks, approximate weight, and clear photos. WhatsApp in Singapore, Zalo in Vietnam, FPS-speed desks in Hong Kong.

Receive an indicative band
We return a private range based on live spot and purity assumptions — not a jewelry store exchange discount.

03
Assay in person or by insured ship-in
XRF at desk in Asia and the Gulf, or sealed courier intake for U.S. and cross-border sellers.
-
04
Settle on verified fine weight
Cash, FPS, PayNow, bank wire, or trade credit — only after purity and weight are confirmed.
Indicative desk bands
Buy ~10% above peer recycle · Sell ~5% below peer retail
Compared with typical second-hand gold desks — not against bullion spot. We aim to pay about 10% more when we recycle, and price about 5% lower when we sell. Final figures follow assay and local settlement.
Marketing guidance only — not a live quote. Peer comparison is indicative against common scrap / pre-owned gold buy and sell offers in each market. Making charges and VAT are not recoverable on recycle.
What the desk acquires
Bars, coins, jewelry, and honest scrap
We buy metal content — broken chains, old bridal sets, LBMA bars, and mixed karat lots with clear provenance preferred.
Wearable gold
Jewelry by fine weight
916 bridal sets, 18K and 14K pieces, white and rose gold — paid on verified gold content.
Scrap & broken
Damaged lots still have value
Broken chains, unmatched earrings, dental gold, and unmarked pieces after XRF confirmation.
Seven desks
Local settlement. One Chrysos language.
Each market keeps its habits — FPS in Hong Kong, PayNow in Singapore, Gold Souk cash in Dubai, Zalo in Vietnam — under one private assay standard.
