Used gold earrings in Canada typically sell for C$57 to C$565 (about $40 to $405). Gold earrings have a metal floor, so carat and weight give you a minimum before design is considered.

Selling gold earrings in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for a carat mark on the post or hook
- Weigh the pair accurately
Getting it ready
- Find the hallmark, usually on the post, the butterfly back or the inside of a hoop, and photograph it.
- Check both backs are present and matching, and inspect any stones for looseness.
Photograph
- Both earrings together on a plain background
- The hallmark, close and legible
- The posts and backs, plus any stone or damage close up
Put in the description
- Style, and the diameter or drop length
- Whether both backs are present and matching
- Any stones, their type if known, and whether all are secure
Carat, style and weight: “9ct Gold Hoop Earrings, 2.1g, Pair”. Style is a genuine search — hoops, studs, drops. Confirm in the title that it is a full pair with both backs, because a single earring or missing butterflies is a common and irritating surprise.
Tiny and easily lost in transit. Use a small box rather than an envelope, post tracked, and photograph both earrings before sealing.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$566 a buyer pays is the C$566 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell gold earrings in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Are both backs included?
Check and confirm. Missing butterflies are cheap to replace but should never be a surprise at handover.
How do I value gold earrings?
Start with the carat and weight, which sets a metal floor, then add for maker and design.
Do missing backs matter?
They are inexpensive to replace but noticed, so include them if you have them and say so if you do not.
