Gemwheel - second-hand platform
Buying pre-owned jewelry is also tempting and comes with its share of uncertainties. Are we paying the right price? Are we sure of the quality of the gems or metals that make up the jewelry?
Gemwheel
Because every piece of jewelry deserves a second life
Gemwheel connects sellers and buyers of second-hand jewelry, with independent gemological expertise.
We do not buy the jewelry: we certify each piece before it goes online to ensure transparency, fair pricing, and trust for both parties.

Expertise and authenticity
Each piece of jewelry is authenticated by the gemologists of the iGEM Gemology Laboratory: nature of the metal and gems, treatments or repairs... You know what you are buying.
A certificate of authentication will be provided at the time of purchase. Sellers are advised on the selling price, so that it is fair for both the seller and the buyer. It is the current second-hand market price.
Simplicity
Our jewelry catalog is online. You can purchase directly through the site and have it delivered.
Would you prefer to try on your jewelry before picking it up? Nothing could be simpler: we welcome you by appointment at our Montreal office.
Transparency & discretion
The amount presented on the site is net of any other fees (except for delivery if you choose that option).
Gemwheel is an intermediary. The identity of each party (seller and buyer) is respected.
