An announcement from the family

To our supportive clients and friends — after fifty years, SECURE is open.

To our supportive clients and friends —

Our family's work in precious metals goes back three generations. The firm itself traces to 1977, when Easton — Danielle's father, the second generation in our trade — opened his first counter in the New York Diamond District. Danielle joined as a GIA Graduate Jeweler, the third generation, and Andre stepped in as Operating Partner. We moved south to Atlanta in 2010. And today, we are writing to tell you about something we have been preparing for a very long time.

SECURE is open.

SECURE is our private precious metals custody service for clients across the Southeast. Members store gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in segregated, insured accounts — never commingled, never lent, never shipped to a warehouse in another state. Your metal stays in Atlanta, fully insured at declared value, and is available to you within twenty-four hours of notice. The same family who has been in this trade for three generations oversees its custody.

Why this matters, and why now.

For years, Southeastern clients who wanted private vault storage had only one option: ship their metal to Texas, Delaware, or Nevada — to facilities they would never see, operated by people they would never meet. That is a valid choice, and the national depositories that offer it remain a sound option for many clients.

That is what we kept hearing from the families we serve. At the same time, banks across the country have been quietly exiting the safe deposit box business. The institutions our parents and grandparents trusted with the things that mattered most are no longer in that business. Something needed to fill that gap — built by people who understand precious metals, not by a logistics company that warehouses other commodities.

So we built it. SECURE is the only retail-direct precious metals custody service between South Florida and Maryland.

What makes SECURE different.

Transparent pricing.

Annual storage fees are stair-stepped by tier — each portion of your declared value is charged at the rate for the tier it falls within. SECURE Concierge service rates for gold, platinum, and palladium:

Silver is billed at 1.5× the base rate to reflect the additional storage volume it requires. Annual minimums: $300 for gold-predominant accounts, $400 for silver-predominant. One-time initiation fee: $50. Full rate card and silver tiers are published on our SECURE page.

An honest acknowledgment about price.

We charge more than Texas Bullion Depository, IDS Group, or Delaware Depository. Those institutions operate at a billion dollars or more in aggregate coverage across multiple sites, which earns them institutional insurance rates and lets them charge competitive client fees. We are a single-site Atlanta operator building toward that scale, and our insurance economics today reflect that.

The premium funds the things that distinguish us: concierge service, a family who answers the phone, integration with our trading and jewelry verticals, and the simple fact that your gold is held in Atlanta — central to the Southeastern families who own it — rather than a thousand miles away. For clients who value that combination, the math works. For clients who do not, the national depositories remain a sound choice, and we are happy to refer.

A note about the Maroon app.

Later this year, our Maroon mobile app will let you watch your own bullion and coin holdings — including everything you store with us at SECURE — from your phone. Live spot prices, portfolio value, accumulation history, and full vault inventory in one place. We are building it because you should not have to call us to know what you own. More on that in the months ahead.

Start a conversation.

SECURE is a relationship business, not a click-to-buy product. If you have been thinking about private vault custody — whether for new acquisitions, holdings you keep at home, or metal stored elsewhere that you would prefer closer to you — we would like to talk with you.

If you would prefer to meet in person — a focused thirty-five-minute conversation with one of us at our Atlanta office — discovery consultations are $100, credited back when you engage with SECURE or with any INVEST or INDULGE transaction within ninety days.
