Three Important Points About Gold Purchase
Gold Purchase Price Trends
Gold prices change daily. The price per gram can fluctuate by several dollors in a single day, and the more gold you sell (heavier the item), the greater the impact of these price fluctuations.
Gold Purity
Gold is marked with its purity (content), such as 24K, 22K, or 18K. The higher the number in the stamp, the rarer it is, and the higher its value as gold.
Gold Weight
Gold has a reference purchase price set per gram, so the appraisal value increases in proportion to the weight. At OTAKARAYA's appraisal, we measure the weight in 0.1-gram units and calculate the gold's value accurately.
Why OTAKARAYA Can Offer High-Price Gold Purchases
As a specialized purchase store,
OTAKARAYA does not have retail stores to
sell the items purchased from customers in Singapore.
The items we purchase are traded not
only in Japan but also with corporations
and businesses in 44 countries
worldwide.
By eliminating the costs associated with
selling, we are able to offer high-price
purchases unique to OTAKARAYA.
Gold Price Trends Over the Past 30 Years
Thirty years ago, in the 1990s, the
price of gold was around S$ 10
per gram, which was extremely low by
today's standards.
However, due to unstable social
conditions such as the Lehman Brothers
collapse and the COVID-19 crisis, gold's
value as a "safe asset" increased, and
its price soared.
As of 2024, the price of gold has
surpassed S$ 100 per gram, reaching
historic highs.
Tips for Selling Gold at a High Price
The key to selling gold at a high price
is "selling when the price of gold is
high" and "selling to a specialized
store that offers high purchase prices."
Gold prices are currently soaring,
making this the best time to sell. An
important factor is choosing the right
purchase store. For gold purchases,
trust OTAKARAYA, known for high
prices.
With over 1,350 stores worldwide, our
professional appraisers will offer you a
purchase price that satisfies you.

Don't worry if you're unsure of the purity of your gold items for purchase.
About Gold Purity
Gold grades, such as 24K or 18K, are marked
using a unique system called the 24th part
ratio. In addition to the 24th part ratio
stamps, some items may also have a hallmark,
which is a purity certification from a
minting authority. Although the hallmark
does not directly increase the value of the
gold, it is important for ensuring safe
transactions, as there are many different
types of gold circulating in the market.
Especially for overseas products, it can be
difficult to determine gold purity from the
stamp. Even items without stamps can be
purchased, so feel free to consult with us.
We Accurately Measure Unknown Precious Metal Purities
If you're unsure of the purity or if there is no stamp, don't worry. We can accurately measure the value of low-purity gold or alloys made of multiple metals in a short time, and offer an on-the-spot cash purchase. Feel free to contact us, even if other stores have refused your items.
We Assess the Value of Jewelry Stones and Design Along with Gold
At OTAKARAYA, when purchasing gold items, we consider not only the value of the gold itself but also the value of the jewelry stones and the design. As a specialized store that purchases a wide range of precious metals, OTAKARAYA offers high-value appraisals unique to us.

Questions
Frequently AskedFrequently Asked Questions
- How is the assessment of gold items from branded goods done?
- For branded rings, necklaces, and other items, we evaluate both the price of gold and the value as a brand. In some cases, the brand value may result in a price much higher than the value of the gold itself.
- Can OTAKARAYA purchase items with lower purity, such as K10?
- Yes, we can absolutely purchase them. For example, even if there is no stamp, as long as we can confirm that the item contains some gold, we will gladly purchase it.
- I have accessories, but the material is unknown.
- If you bring them in, we will verify the material on the spot. Please feel free to consult with us.
- Can you purchase small amounts of gold?
- Regardless of the amount, we are happy to assess and purchase your items. Even if you're unsure whether it's gold, we offer free appraisals, so please don't hesitate to contact us.
- Can you purchase items without accessories?
- While having accessories is ideal, we are more than happy to assess and purchase items even without them.
- Why is identification required?
- The identification of the seller is required by the Antique Dealer Law, and we are required to keep a record for that purpose. It will not be used for any other reasons.
- Is it okay just to get an appraisal for gold and precious metals?
-
Yes, of course, we are happy to provide
appraisals even without any commitment to
sell.
The items you bring in likely hold many memories—perhaps it's something you bought with your first bonus, a gift from your parents for your coming-of-age celebration, or a wedding gift from your grandmother.
Each item has its own story.
You might wonder, 'How much would something I have stored away be worth if I actually sold it?'
OTAKARAYA can help answer that question.
We offer various appraisal methods tailored to your needs, whether in-store or via home visits.
Please feel free to use our services and, after getting the appraisal result, discuss it with your family.
- Can OTAKARAYA purchase torn gold?
- We are happy to assess and purchase it.
- Is there an appraisal fee (authentication fee) for gold and precious metals?
-
For gold, precious metals, and other items,
we do not charge any appraisal fees.
All appraisals are completely free of charge, so please do not worry about it.
- Does the purchase price of an ingot differ depending on whether it has a stamp or not?
-
The stamp is an important indication of the
'brand and trust' of the ingot.
Additionally, ingots are often engraved with
a number to identify the original
purchaser.
For items without these markings, we may unfortunately decline to purchase them. This is because, in recent years, there have been cases of ingots being smuggled into Japan from overseas, and criminals often melt and sell them to hide their origin.
While there are cases where we may refuse to buy, if there is proof of the purchase or a valid explanation that aligns with the item’s origin, we can still offer the same purchase price as a regular ingot. Please feel free to contact us for further inquiries.
- Do the purchase prices differ between gold accessories and ingots?
-
Yes, the purchase prices for accessories and
ingots do differ.
First, ingots are typically made of pure gold (K24). There are various brands of ingots, and only globally recognized companies are allowed to stamp their logos on them. Ingots from highly trusted brands are traded at higher prices in the market.
Additionally, ingots are processed through various stages in a refinery to be turned into gold bars (bullion).
The processing fees for these stages are included in the purchase price, which is one of the reasons why there is a difference in price between accessories and ingots.
- Will you buy a necklace with a broken chain?
-
Yes, we will gladly purchase necklaces with
broken chains. Most of these items can be
easily repaired, so please feel free to
bring them in.
If you attempt to fix them yourself with tools like pliers, it may damage the item and reduce its original value. We recommend bringing the item as-is and consulting with us.
- Do scratches or dirt affect the purchase price?
-
While it is always better to have items in
clean condition, attempting to clean them
yourself can sometimes cause scratches to
spread, potentially reducing their value.
For dirt, using chemicals or harsh cleaning methods may cause the item to lose its original color, diminishing its quality. Therefore, it’s best not to try cleaning the item yourself.
If you are concerned about dirt, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth, or you may use a diluted mild detergent.
However, since proper care of gold and precious metals requires specialized knowledge, it's crucial to avoid doing anything that could affect the item's condition. If you're unsure about how to proceed, feel free to consult with one of our nearby stores or customer service.
- Can gold or precious metals without markings be appraised?
-
Yes, we can buy them.
While most modern items have markings, older items or products made overseas often lack these markings. Some stores may not accept items without markings, but OTAKARAYA has a fluorescent X-ray analysis device.
This allows us to scientifically measure the gold or precious metal content, even if traditional methods cannot detect it.
- Can large and small gold coins, foreign gold coins, antique coins, and other coins be bought?
-
Of course, we buy large and small gold coins
issued during the Edo period, as well as old
money (banknotes and coins), commonly known
as antique coins.
Foreign gold coins, such as China's "Panda Gold Coin," America's "Eagle Gold Coin," and Canada's "Maple Leaf Gold Coin," are highly sought after worldwide.
These premium gold coins may be evaluated only based on the gold's quality and weight at other stores, but at OTAKARAYA, we evaluate their overall value and offer high purchase prices.
In addition to gold coins, we also buy silver coins, palladium, platinum coins, commemorative coins, and medals.
- How long does the "gold and precious metal appraisal" take?
-
The time required for appraisal depends on
the volume of the items, but it usually
takes about 5 to 15 minutes.
If you can't visit the store or don't have a store nearby, you can also use our home visit appraisal service. Choose the appraisal method that best suits your lifestyle. We also accept consultations by phone or email.
Regardless of the appraisal method you choose, the appraised price offered will not change.
Additionally, all appraisal services are free of charge, so please feel assured.
- When is the best time to sell gold and precious metals? Is it true that the purchase price changes depending on the day?
-
The market price is updated daily, so the
purchase price can vary depending on the
day.
The best time to sell is when the gold market is high or when the exchange rate is leaning towards a weaker yen.
Additionally, during times of global instability, the trust in paper currencies tends to decrease, which increases trust in gold, and as a result, the market price rises.
In recent years, the price of gold and precious metals has been on a long-term upward trend, so high purchase prices can be expected.
- How is the purchase price of gold and precious metals determined?
- The purchase price is determined based on three factors: the globally updated market price, the weight of the item, and the purity of the item (such as K24, K18). Additionally, a comprehensive evaluation of the design and brand is considered to finalize the purchase price. We aim to offer higher purchase prices compared to other companies.
- When is the best time to sell precious metals?
- The best time to sell precious metals can vary. Sometimes, the right time comes quickly, while in other cases, holding onto them for a longer period can increase their value. It's not always possible to say when the right time will be. If you plan to store them for the long term before selling, it is important to store them properly and perform regular maintenance to preserve their condition.
