⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING
We do not buy any jewelry that is stolen, fraudulently obtained, or of illegal origin: before any transaction, the seller must be able to prove they are the rightful owner of the jewelry, and a valid ID as well as any proof of provenance may be required.
We reserve the right to refuse any suspicious transaction and, in the event of doubt about the jewelry’s origin, theft, or fraud, we will immediately call the POLICE and cooperate fully with the authorities — presenting false documents may lead to prosecution in accordance with the law.
Selling your gold in Dakar should never be a lottery. The fair price of your jewelry comes down to three numbers — the weight, the fineness (karats) and the day's global rate — and a serious gold buyer shows you each of those three numbers before announcing their own. That's exactly how our gold-buying counter in Dakar works.

At Jayma Or, we buy gold jewelry, broken gold, scrap, coins and bars every day. Our customers rate us 4.8/5 on Google (32 reviews), and our method never changes: touchstone test in front of you, weighing on a certified scale in front of you, price explained karat by karat — and immediate cash payment.
The table above shows our indicative buying prices for the day, calculated from the gold rate in Senegal today. The final price is confirmed at the counter after testing and weighing.
How selling gold in Dakar works (5 steps)
- Send a photo on WhatsApp. A snapshot of your jewelry sent to +221 78 111 66 87 is enough for a free initial estimate, with no obligation.
- Come with your ID (national ID card or passport). Identity verification protects both parties — it's the mark of a serious dealer.
- Testing in front of you. Your jewelry is tested on a touchstone (jasper) with control acids to determine the exact fineness: 24K (99.9%), 21K (87.5%), 18K (75%) or 14K (58.3%).
- Weighing on a certified scale. Accurate to a tenth of a gram, before your eyes. Weight × purity × the day's rate: the calculation is shown to you, not dictated.
- Immediate payment. In cash, or via Wave / Orange Money depending on the amount and your preference. You leave paid, the same day, in a matter of minutes.

What we buy
- Gold chains, necklaces and pendants — even broken ones;
- Rings, signet rings and wedding bands (with or without stones);
- Bracelets, curb chains and bangles — often the heaviest pieces;
- Gold watches (solid gold case and band);
- Broken gold and gold scrap — our core business: broken pieces are worth the same price per gram as intact jewelry;
- Gold coins and bars (investment gold);
- Dental gold.
We buy gold of every color (yellow, white, rose) and every common purity — from 14 karats to 24 karats. However, we don't buy gold-plated items, silver or platinum: it's a matter of honesty — the gold layer on a plated piece is too thin to have any melt value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current gold buying price?
It depends on the day's global rate and the karat of your gold. The table at the top of this page shows our indicative buying prices per gram, updated automatically. The final price is confirmed after testing and weighing in front of you.
What is the price of a gram of gold in Dakar?
The per-gram price is calculated from the global rate converted into FCFA, multiplied by the purity (24K = 99.9%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75%, 14K = 58.3%). Check the gold rate in Senegal today for the day's figure, karat by karat.
Do I need an appointment to sell my gold?
No, but it's recommended: first send a photo via WhatsApp for an estimate, then stop by the counter whenever you like. If you can't make the trip, a courier will come to you.
What documents do I need to sell gold?
A valid ID (national ID card or passport). We verify the identity of every seller: it protects both you and us, and we refuse any jewelry of questionable origin.
Do you buy gold-plated items or silver?
No. We only buy solid gold (14K to 24K), whatever its color. Gold-plated items don't contain enough recoverable gold to be bought honestly — and we explain that to you with complete transparency.
