Welcome to SHR, where we create a moment of magic, not misery, for our clients. Founded in 2006, SHR has established itself as the only refiner who puts YOU in Control.
We provide a karat scrap calculator for shipped karat gold. Your karat gold is always considered and paid as plumb gold .417, .585, .750, etc. - and we never deduct for after melt weight loss. Approved accounts can simply enter current spot and dwt/gram of each karat to see the estimated settlement. Or, if you prefer, we are happy to smelt and perform our 24-step fire assay on your entire karat gold lot. The Minimum Treatment fee is $50, with 98% payout. For this option, please note on your SHR Packing Slip and allow approximately 3-5 business days for labs to be completed. We are happy to advance on your karat gold lot as well. Please allow 24 hours or 1 business day from the time your package is received by SHR and put in our check-in queue to the time you receive confirmation that your materials were checked in. We will also provide check-in notes and pictures, when applicable.
Three options for refining your silver are: 1. Karat Kalculator immediate settlement, 2. 92% of After-melt weight and assay with $0 in treatment fees. 3. 95% of After-melt weight and assay with $250/$300 fee (see with and without Cadmium present). You decide which works best for you. On large mixed silver jewelry lots, we recommend the straight 92%, $0 fee. Options 2 & 3 take about 2 weeks to process and settle.
