Frequently Asked Questions

 If you are ordering from our online store, we can accept payment by Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, AfterPay, and all major credit cards. Please note that we can not accept payment over the phone for orders, and everything does have to be processed through the website. 

If you happen to be in the Vancouver area and are interested in coming in for an appointment, we can also accept debit and cash as payment options in-store. All appointments can be booked here.

Currently, we offer Afterpay on orders up to $2000 CAD and layaway on orders over $2000 CAD.

Afterpay works by splitting your order into four equal payments, with your order shipping after the first payment is received. Please note that you will need to create an account with Afterpay to be able to use their service on orders under $2000.

Any advertised sale or discount code can only be used on items within the time of the sale and cannot be combined with other sales/discounts. Items purchased before or after will not be honoured.

We see this as one of our biggest strengths and one of the things that really sets us apart. Our prices are market-based - calculated based on the gold, gemstone, and antique market value of the piece.  

You’ll find that our prices are a small fraction of the retail price - usually between 50% and 90% off of new retail prices. Additionally, we are usually even better priced than online auction sites and pawnshops.

Whenever possible, we try to find the exact compare at price for our items. For items we can’t find prices for in our research, we use a formula to give a fair retail price estimate for comparable items that can be found online. 

Nope, we have awesome prices!

We work with a network of precious metals buyers and “rescue” the pieces that we can’t imagine being melted down. Then we authenticate, clean, and certify every piece of jewellery before we offer it to our customers. From classic vintage pieces to unique modern finds, you can be assured of the authenticity and quality of any of our pieces.

Our jewellery buyers buy pieces from the public as well as dealers. We then select only the most desirable pieces for our site. The best 5% or so of the items we get to look through end up on 100 Ways.

We only sell fine jewellery made with solid precious metals! All gemstones are natural and earth-mined, with the exception of the occasional vintage piece. Synthetic gems were quite popular in the early 1900s, and we like to keep those items in their original form. If a stone is synthetic, it will be clearly noted in the item listing. We will always be clear in the item listing if the product contains a synthetic stone!

Every gemstone is reviewed by a GIA graduate gemologist for authentication and grading. We grade our stones with the strictest standards, and our grading generally matches or, in some cases, comes in stricter than GIA lab grading.

With that being said, since we grade the stones without taking them out of the setting, the grading can sometimes range slightly. In most cases, the discrepancy will be within one grade.

All coloured stones have undergone standard industry treatment unless stated otherwise. For example, all emeralds have been oiled unless stated otherwise - and coloured diamonds are HPHT treated unless stated otherwise

All rings are sized by the North American sizing chart. We measure our rings down to the 1/4 size. Here is a conversion chart to ensure that you find the best fit!

Yes we do! For more information about resizing, please review our policy here. Most rings can be sized up or down 1-2 sizes, but for vintage pieces, intricate settings, or for rings where there are gemstones around the band, sizing may not be possible. Please note that any rings that are resized after purchase are not returnable. You can find more information on ring sizing here.

Our sister company Canada Gold does the majority of our jewellery purchasing. They have several locations throughout Canada, and they also offer a mail-in service. You can view their website here.  

If you live locally in Vancouver, BC and are considering selling your vintage/antique or brand-name jewellery - you can book an appointment with our inventory manager for an assessment of your pieces. You can do that through this link here.

You will receive a box or pouch, and an authenticity card with all the specifications of the item. Please note as well that only some items come with additional certification, which will be mentioned in the item listing.

If you need a little time to think about purchasing an item, we can hold a maximum of two items per customer for a week by request. Keep in mind that holds will not become official until you receive a reply from us! Reaching out via phone is always the best suggestion when placing an item on hold so we can help you as soon as possible. Our contact number is 778-951-9297.
