Arven buys all gold and silver
Sell your gold and silver
Do you have gold or silver you no longer use? At Arven, you can sell precious metals in a safe and easy way. We accept jewelry, silver cutlery, coins, and other gold and silver items – even when they are worn, broken, or incomplete.
You can deliver directly to our store at Sandbrogaten 11 in Bergen or send them in from anywhere in Norway.
From creative urge to reality
Design it yourself
Create a personal piece of jewelry together with one of our goldsmiths. In a "Design Your Own" session, you'll get help developing your idea, choosing materials, and finding the expression that suits you.
We can create something entirely new or give new life to gold, diamonds, and gemstones you already own. The result will be a unique piece of jewelry with a story that is yours.
Precious metals can almost always be repaired
Repair and refurbishment
Gold and silver jewelry and silver items are made to be worn – and with proper care, they can last for generations. Our goldsmiths and silversmiths perform repairs, resizing, soldering, cleaning, polishing, and other refurbishments.
We will assess the work and provide you with information about the price and options before we begin.

The value of your items
Appraisal
An appraisal provides you with documentation of an item's value and can be important for insurance, inheritance, or sale, among other things. Our experts appraise jewelry, silverware, and other valuable items.
You will receive a thorough description and documentation of the appraised item.
