Full-Service Operations
Every Stage of the Precious Metals Lifecycle
From primary mining source to final delivery — JR Farkass & CO provides a complete suite of precious metals services under one roof, executed with uncompromising precision.
Core Business
Bullion Trading
We source gold, silver, platinum, and palladium directly from mining operations worldwide, bypassing intermediaries to deliver competitive world market pricing. Our trading desk operates across all major time zones, providing institutional-grade execution for sovereign funds, central banks, refineries, and private investors.
Circular Economy
Jewelry & Antique Gold Recycling
We purchase and recycle pre-owned jewelry, antique gold pieces, and scrap precious metals from dealers, estates, and institutions. Our assaying team evaluates every lot with precision, offering transparent pricing based on verified metal content — giving new life to legacy gold.
Precision Analysis
Assaying
Our ISO-certified assaying laboratories deliver precise analysis of precious metal content, purity, and composition. We issue internationally recognized certificates of assay for gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and mixed alloys — trusted by refineries, banks, and institutional buyers worldwide.
Purity Processing
Refining & Smelting
State-of-the-art refining processes transform raw ore, doré bars, and scrap material into investment-grade precious metals meeting the highest international purity standards. Our smelting operations handle large-volume industrial lots with full traceability from input to finished bar.
Custom Fabrication
Minting
Custom coin and bar minting for institutional clients, sovereign programs, and private label products. We produce investment-grade bars and commemorative coins in gold, silver, and platinum — with bespoke design, hallmarking, and packaging to client specification.
Global Supply Chain
Sourcing & Procurement
Leveraging direct mining relationships across South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, we source precious metals at origin — providing our clients with supply access that is simply unavailable through conventional market channels.
Institutional Supply
Wholesale Distribution
We supply refineries, jewelry manufacturers, industrial users, and institutional dealers at scale. Our wholesale division manages large-volume orders with precision logistics, competitive pricing, and the documentation standards required by the world's most demanding buyers.
End-to-End Transport
Secure Logistics
End-to-end insured transport and vault storage across our global network. Our logistics division manages the secure movement of precious metals from origin to destination — with armored transport, bonded warehousing, and real-time shipment tracking for every consignment.
