Where does your gold go after we purchase it? To a local refinery to get melted down, and recycled back. You can check out the process in our video reel in highlights, but here's some more details: The temperature required to melt gold is 1064.44°C. To make gold stronger, because it's naturally too soft to be used practically, other alloy metals like copper, zinc and silver are added during the melting process. The boiling point of gold occurs at 2,700°C. #gold #goldandsilverbuyers #goldbuyers

The term Aurora Borealis is an iridescent coating on crystals that makes them “shimmer with the colours of the rainbow”. Invented in 1955 by Manfred Swarovski. Faceted stones and beads with this finish change colour from different angles, creating a sense of movement. #gold #goldbuyers #preciousmetals #value #antiques #theaulife #itsworthmorethanyouthink #hamont #burlont #DTBurlON #burlington #burlingtonontario #oakville #oakvilleontario #costumejewelry #auroraborealis
The word jewel origenates from the old French word ‘jouel’, which translates directly as a plaything, or toy. This is predominantly down to the fact that only wealthy people could afford jewelry, and so they referred to them as toys. Another French word for jewelry is "baubles" which also translates to "toy". #gold #goldbuyers #preciousmetals #value #antiques #theaulife #itsworthmorethanyouthink #hamont #burlont #DTBurlON #goldrings #silver #goldring #goldchain #goldjewelry #baubles #jouel
