About us

We started small, as a silver recovery company operated solely by Sharon Eades. Her approach has always been hands-on, with a special emphasis on the importance of listening closely to customers. Over the years this has shifted our focus to assisting manufacturing jewellers at every stage of the creative process, through an extensive range of quality goods and reliable services.

Cape Precious Metals

As a registered precious metal refinery, CPM specialises in the recycling of precious metals, utilising modern techniques for maximum recovery and returns. We refine all jewellers’ waste including sweeps, filings, polishings, old jewellery solids and (the little-known) sludge. We also recover silver from a wide variety of photographic material including X-Rays.
