When you choose Five Star Gold Exchange, you are not walking into a pawn shop or a mall kiosk staffed by a generalist employee. You are sitting down directly with Laszlo and Colton — a father-and-son team with over 20 years of combined experience in the precious metals industry. Every evaluation is done in front of you, step by step, with no hidden deductions and no pressure to sell.
We have built our reputation across the Lower Mainland on three principles: transparency, expertise, and respect. Our live buying prices are posted publicly on this website — the same prices we use in every appointment. You walk in knowing what gold is worth today, and you walk out with a fair offer and same-day payment.

Five Star Gold Exchange was founded by Laszlo, who began his career as a precious metals collector before establishing a successful retail jewellery exchange in the BC Interior. After years of running a mobile gold buying operation under the GoldOkanagan banner — visiting clients in their homes across the Okanagan — Laszlo and his son Colton brought their expertise to Coquitlam, establishing a permanent, professional office serving the entire Lower Mainland.
Our BBB accreditation reflects our commitment to honest, transparent business practices. We have never operated with hidden fees, deceptive pricing, or high-pressure sales tactics. Every client leaves our office fully informed about how their offer was calculated — and with no obligation to accept it.
We purchase gold rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, bangles, sets, and watches in all karats from 10K to 24K. We specialize in South Asian 22K and 24K gold and broken or scrap gold at full metal value.
Canadian coins minted before 1968 and US coins minted before 1965 contain real silver worth significantly more than face value. We also purchase world silver coins.
Flatware sets, tea services, candlesticks, and hollowware purchased by weight at current silver spot prices.
Gold pieces from Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Bulgari, and other premium designers purchased for gold content.

Five Star Gold Exchange serves gold and silver sellers from every community in the Lower Mainland
For over two decades, our journey in the precious metal industry has been marked by evolution and success. Beginning as individual collectors, we transitioned to establishing a retail presence in Penticton. Recognizing an opportunity for growth, we relocated our operations to Kamloops, rebranding as "Five Star Jewelry Exchange & Loans." This venture flourished, culminating in a strategic decision to sell the physical store to prioritize family commitments.
Following the sale, Laszlo and his family embarked on a new chapter in the Okanagan, launching a mobile enterprise under the banner of "GoldOkanagan." For half a decade, we provided personalized service through home visits, earning trust and loyalty among our clientele. Today, Laszlo and his son, Colton, continue the GoldOkanagan legacy, transitioning to a brick-and-mortar establishment in Coquitlam as "Five Star Gold Exchange." This transition fulfills our vision of a multi-generational enterprise, symbolizing the bond between father and son.
