When you have precious metals to refine or stones to recover, you want to be in the hands of a refiner you can count on.
For more than 100 years, Pease & Curren has been managing precious metal refinery and stone recovery needs out of our facility in Warwick, Rhode Island.
From our founders’ small basement furnace in Providence to our state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot refinery on Pennsylvania Avenue, our family-owned business has stayed successful by always staying true to its goals of providing fair and honest refinery services at fair and honest prices.
Today, we serve not only Rhode Island, but also the entire country and most of North America. We have fantastic customers in every state, as well as in Canada and Mexico. We serve everyone from jewelry manufacturers and pawn shop owners to dental labs.
You’ll never find any conflict gold, blood diamonds or other illegal or ill-gotten precious items under our roof. In an industry where corruption can run rampant, we take pride in being one of the last honest refiners out there. Since Francis H. Curren and Charles Pease founded us in 1916, we’ve continued to hold ourselves to the highest levels of integrity and accountability in the industry.
And that means you can be confident you are always getting fair market value for your precious metals and stones.
If experience is what you’re after in a precious metals and diamond refiner, we’ve got it at Pease & Curren — more than 100 years of it.
Markets have shifted and the price of gold has risen and fallen many times, but the constant is that we continue to handle any and all precious metal refinery needs. Maybe that’s why we are the official jeweler of The United States Military Academy, also known as West Point, and the company the academy uses for its famous ring ceremony, where it melts down the previous class’s rings to forge new ones for the incoming class.
If you’re worried about finding a refinery with an emphasis on quality, you should know that all our refining processes are state-of-the-art and proven to be the best. From our slow roast sweeps, where we process the material separately so nothing is lost, to our fire assay technique, which is the most reliable technique on earth for refining gold, to our premium stone removal process that allows us to recover even the tiniest of stones, one thing is clear: our method is 20 times more accurate than the common forms of inspection and refining you’ll find at many other refineries, like X-ray and melting methods.
Our 40,000-square foot facility has 25 custom-designed incinerators and a dedicated melt room capable of handling both small and large refining material. We designed the facility to isolate different departments, minimizing cross-contamination and increasing security.
