The story

The first Ledial store opened in Milan on Dec. 6, 2003, with much enthusiasm from the two young owners who landed in this fledgling industry. In fact, it was Law 7 of 2000 that regulated the gold sector. Those years saw the birth of the first “cash for gold“, stores where people could get cash by selling their gold. Ledial immediately differentiated itself by offering many additional services.

The services offered: not just cash of gold

Ledial does not limit itself to gold jewelry pickup but differs from most other stores by immediately introducing preloved jewelry resale, goldsmith repair service, and custom jewelry creation.
