Why We Publish
The precious metals industry has a transparency problem. Too many dealers rely on confusion and pressure to sell overpriced products to uninformed buyers. We believe the opposite approach works better: give people the knowledge to make confident decisions, and they'll choose to work with the dealer they trust.
That's the Alex Lexington Network. Education first. Always.

Jewelry we design
A piece starts as loose stones on the counter and a conversation about what it is for. It becomes a drawing, then a CAD file with every millimetre specified, then metal on a bench. We photograph all three stages.
01
Laid out before anything is set
The stones are chosen and arranged in the intended layout first, so the client sees the piece before it exists.
02
Every millimetre drawn
A butterfly brooch in CAD — three views, full dimensions, and a count of every stone before a single one is cut.
03
Fitted before it is finished
A pear-cut ring tried on with a sizing band still in place. This is what the work actually looks like.
From the case
Ready to wear, in stock, photographed as they sit in the case.
The counter
What comes in. What goes out.
Photographed on the counter, not staged in a studio. Estates, scrap and currency arriving; sealed mint product leaving.
We buy
1934 thousand-dollar notes
Currency, estates, scrap and single pieces — quoted against live spot, in writing, with the weight and purity shown to you as we test it.
Sell to us
We sell
100 gram bars, in assay
Gold, silver, platinum and palladium at live pricing — held in your own segregated vault bag, or shipped to your door.
