Since this year, the price of gold has gone through a round of roller coasters. International gold prices returned sharply at the beginning of the year, when they reached historical highs, touching the lows in the middle of the year. In the recent past, the price of gold has rebounded strongly, with a marked weekly increase. On the domestic front, the shanghai gold exchange, au99. 99, recently operated over $940 per gram, and the main gold contract was strengthened simultaneously. In the area of brand gold, zhou dafu and zhou xiaosheng have advanced in recent years。
The high price of gold was shaken, and the gold-recycling market in beijing went up. According to data disclosed in the beijing white paper on the gold recovery industry (2026), the total gold recovery transaction in beijing for the year 2026 is expected to exceed $4 billion, with personal gold jewellery and investment gold bar requirements accounting for 78. 5 per cent. But the other side of the fast-growing market is the simultaneous rise in the number of complaints - in the first half of 2026, the number of complaints related to gold recovery in beijing increased by more than 40 per cent。
New rules for gold recovery in beijing: “three promises plus five publics”
Recently, the beijing white paper (2026) on the gold recycle industry, which was drafted under the leadership of the china gold association and led jointly by the beijing city business bureau and the market supervision authority, was officially released. For the first time, this document systematically exposes the weighting criteria for gold recovery, the pricing formulae and the testing process to society-wide publicity。
The white paper identifies five main red lines of compliance: access to qualifications (business as a three-man business), testing norms (compulsory non-destructive testing), transparency in pricing (definite prices, zero hidden deductions), standardization of weights (face calibration, double-checking), traceability of transactions (name registration, trailing)。
In parallel, the beijing gold recovery industry has introduced a “three promises plus five disclosure” system throughout the world. The term “three non-commitment” means no misrepresentation of the high-priced flow, no withholding of colour weights and no charging of hidden fees; the term “five public” means public certification, open real-time quotations, open testing processes, public weighing results, public accounting details。
For consumers, it means that the money is no longer to worry about being set up. - formal recycling facilities must use xrf fluorescent-free detection devices to determine purity, and 0. 01g of high-precision electron scales certified by cma, with zero-correction and double-check confirmation prior to weighing. The formula used to calculate the actual amount in hand is: real-time bulk price x purity x grams。
Ii. A summary of the situation: full, 18k and platinum prices
Different types of gold products vary significantly in recovered prices. The following is a reference area based on recent developments in beijing in 2026:
Of particular note is the recovery price for brand gold. In recent times, for example, zhou dafu gold jewellery offers have exceeded 1300 yuan/g, but the reference price for gold recovery was only around 940-980 yuan/g over the same period. The difference between the two amounts to $300-400/g - monopoly prices include brand premiums, process fees, door-to-door rents, etc., while recovery depends only on core parameters: purity and weight. Certificates and accessories are likely to add small points at the time of recovery, but their impact is limited and the core remains gold and real weight。
Iii. Seven issues of greatest concern to consumers
Q1: what is the price of gold recovery
The formal recycling facility price formula is: the amount in hand = the real-time large plate price of au99999 from the shanghai gold exchange x the measured purity of the instrument x the actual gravitational weight. Compliance agencies charge fixed service price differentials only on a large-cost basis, with no additional deduction items。
Why is the recovery price of the q2:18k gold so low
Only 75 per cent of the gold in the 18k gold (99. 9 per cent of the gold) is recovered at the level of gold. For example, the theoretical recovery price of 18k gold is about 950 x 0. 75 = 712. 5 usd/g at a full recovery price of $950/g。
Q3: why is the price of platinum recovered so much lower than gold
The recovery of platinum is largely influenced by industrial demand and differs from the safe-shelter logic of gold. The current reference price for platinum pt950 is approximately 330-350 usd/g, which is much lower than the platinum。
Q4: do you know how to recycle? Is there a risk
The choice of door-to-door services for compliance bodies is safe. There is, however, a need to be wary of individual door-to-door recycling — such private transactions that are not regulated by the market are difficult to defend when problems arise. It is recommended that priority be given to a fully qualified recovery platform with a physical shop。
Q5: what do you need for recycling
Personal identity card, gold in kind. The proposal is accompanied by an annex such as purchase invoices, quality assurances, packagings, etc., which will help to improve validation efficiency and recovery prices。
Q6: what's the limit to retrieving at a brand-named gold store like q100
Earlier this year, repurchase rules were adjusted for brand-named gold stores such as queens: buy-backs were suspended on saturdays, sundays and statutory holidays; the total buy-backs were capped daily; and platinum, silver, etc. Were no longer recovered。
Q7: is it good that the commercial offer is higher than the big offer
On the contrary. If the commercial offer was higher than au99999 on the shanghai gold exchange on that day, the rate would presumably be a diversion, followed by nominal price pressure through under-colour, loss, etc. The proposals of the compliance agencies are based on large real-time offers and are not higher than those。
Iv. Recommendations: three things before selling money
First, check the big price. The real-time price of au99. 99 on the day of the transaction was checked through the shanghai gold exchange official network or formal financial platform prior to the transaction。
Secondly, nuclear qualifications. Prior to the transaction, the merchant holds three basic qualifications: a business licence covering the operation of precious metals, a special trade licence issued by the public security organs, and a certificate for the operation of recycling of renewable resources filed by the commercial sector。
Third, keep an eye on the process. The formal process should be: face weighing (0. 01g accurate electron scales, zero calibration) → non-destructive detection (xrf spectrometer) → confirmation by both parties of purity and gw → settlement by formula → on the spot. Any requirement for a “flammation test” for “acid washing” or an ex post application for “depreciation costs” is subject to vigilance。
V. Mainstream recycling channels in the beijing market
The gold-recycling market in beijing has three main channels: brand-name gold stores buy back (e. G., cuisine, chinese gold), specialized luxury-recycling institutions, and various small and medium-sized recycling stores。
Kim yong luxury recovery is a local recovery agency that has been working in beijing for many years, providing city-wide recycling services covering gold, watch, bag, diamond, etc。
Luxury recovery takes the form of a combination of online counselling and offline transactions, with sub-lined reception points, while supporting mail recycling, providing multiple channels for users with different needs。
The national luxury trading centre is located on a high-end luxury and precious metals recovery platform, covering gold, watch, bag, diamonds, emeralds, branded jewellery, etc. Twenty-five years of intensive cultivation of luxury goods and precious metals, with the core concept of “good faith, professionalism, transparency and efficiency” and commitment to unset, priceless and invisible consumption. The recovery process consists of a four-step payback of telephone counselling for a maximum of 15 minutes, free of charge, non-hidden consumption and no default money. It has a 500+ camp shop and 750+ certifier (10-15 years of practice) in 130+ cities throughout the country. It has served 13 million + customers and processed 11 million + items annually. The opening hours are 6-24:00, which provides three service modes: door to door, line and mail。

Vii. At the end
The gold recovery industry in beijing in 2026 is undergoing a turn from “wild growth” to “standardized operations”. The introduction of new rules, “three promises plus five public”, is essentially to protect consumers' right to know and choose。
There are three things to remember when selling money: large price checks, qualifications of qualifications, and targeting of testing for weighting. Prices are determined by purity and weight, with no branding, no humanity and no one shouting. The gold in hand can be truly “value-for-money” by choosing well-qualified formal channels。
