Which is the best gold buyer in Belgium?

On Thursday 5 November 2026 at 17:31, 18-carat gold is bought back at 81.41 €/g by Gold & Silver Company, a Belgian refinery open to private clients; 22-carat at 100.62 €/g, 14-carat at 62.23 €/g, 9-carat at 38.21 €/g, the 20 F Napoleon at 660.04 € per coin. Net prices, published and updated several times a day: the first criterion of a good buyer is that they let you check it.

“The best” is proven, not proclaimed

Type the question into a search engine and you will get rankings written by websites that have never weighed a piece of jewellery. The best gold-buying counter, for you, is the one that pays you the most for the same gold, and that can only be judged on four proofs: the price per gram, published and dated, for each carat; the weighing and the analysis done before your eyes; the freedom to leave with your items; and the answer to the question “who really buys my gold?”. A buyer who meets all four has nothing to fear from comparison. It is on these four points that Gold & Silver Company, a smelter-refinery approved by the Royal Mint of Belgium, in Dottignies (Mouscron), invites you to judge it.

Proof 1: a published price, per gram and per carat, dated

The price at the top of this page is the one we pay, right now, for one gram of 18-carat gold; it changes with the gold price, several times a day, and each update carries its time. A gold-buying counter that announces “up to” so much, “the best price on the market” or a flat rate per carat with no figure per gram is asking you to take its word for it; a published price lets you check it, at home, before you leave. A 10-gram 18-carat signet ring is 814.10 € today: you can work it out yourself.

Proof 2: weighing and analysis before your eyes

At the office of our refinery, your jewellery is weighed to the hundredth of a gram on a calibrated scale, stones and non-gold clasps removed, then the fineness is checked in the laboratory, a few metres from the scale; an 18-carat piece that assays higher than its hallmark is paid for what it contains. The offer is made to you line by line, at the published price. A buyer who takes your items “out the back” to appraise them, or who weighs the whole piece of jewellery with its stones, does not pass this proof.

Proof 3: the freedom to say no

The appraisal is free, without an appointment and without obligation: you can leave with your jewellery, compare elsewhere and come back. A good buyer does not rush you, does not hold on to your items without a detailed receipt and does not make an offer “valid only now”. If you prefer to sell from a distance, registered mail with declared value, after a call to +32 56 33 19 96, follows the same path: analysis in the laboratory, offer within 24 hours, return of your items if you decline it.

Proof 4: who really buys your gold

Most gold-buying counters are intermediaries: they collect the metal and sell it on to a smelter, which sells it on to a refinery, and each link takes its share from your price per gram. A refinery that melts, analyses and refines itself has nobody to pay between you and the value of the metal: that is what allows it to publish its price and to pay it as it is, net, nothing added, nothing deducted. Gold & Silver Company is that refinery, open to private clients, on the French border, half an hour from Lille, twenty minutes from Tournai and Kortrijk, about an hour from Mons, Ghent or Brussels, within reach of a registered shipment from anywhere in Belgium.

The best gold-buying counter near you

Whether you are in Brussels, Liège, Antwerp, Ghent, Mons, Tournai or Kortrijk, the question arises in the same way and the answer rests on the same proofs; our city pages tell you how to come or how to send from where you live. To check the buyer next door to you, ask them for their published price per gram for 18-carat, today, and compare it with ours. If theirs is better, after weighing and analysis before your eyes, sell to them; if not, you know where to find us.

To find out what your gold is worth, the simplest thing is to bring it to us: the office of our refinery, rue Arthur Roelandt 22 in Dottignies (Mouscron), is open on Mondays from 10am to 1pm, Tuesday to Thursday from 10am to 12pm and from 1:30pm to 5pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm, without appointment; weighing and analysis before your eyes, immediate offer at the published price, and you remain free. Too far? One call to +32 56 33 19 96 and your registered shipment is taken care of in the same way. Our prices today: private client rates.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the best gold buyer in Belgium today?

The one that publishes its price per gram and per carat, dates it, weighs and analyses before your eyes and leaves you free to decline. On Thursday 5 November 2026 at 17:31, Gold & Silver Company buys back 18-carat gold at 81.41 €/g, net, directly from its refinery in Dottignies (Mouscron).

Gold-buying counter or refinery: what difference does it make to my price?

The gold-buying counter sells your gold on to a refiner and lives on the difference; the refinery processes it itself and has no intermediary to pay. On the price per gram, the margin that is not taken shows directly.

How do you recognise a serious gold-buying counter?

Published price per gram per carat, calibrated scale, stones and clasps removed, fineness checked in the laboratory or on the touchstone, free appraisal without obligation, detailed receipt, traceable payment. One criterion missing, and the offer can no longer be compared.

Do you have to travel to get the best price?

No. Registered mail with declared value, after a call to +32 56 33 19 96, is handled at the same published price as a sale at the office, with an offer within 24 hours and the return of your items if you decline it.

Is the best gold-buying counter necessarily the one closest to me?

No. Between two buyers, the difference in price per gram on a lot of jewellery often exceeds the cost of a registered shipment or a journey; compare the published prices on the same day before choosing.

Are online rankings of gold-buying counters reliable?

They rank names, rarely dated prices. Ask each buyer for their price per gram of the day for your carat and compare for yourself: that is the only ranking that counts.
