Safe Keeping Receipt

Verified Custody for Every Consignment

While a parcel of gold or diamonds is in our custody for verification, assay or facilitation, we issue a formal Safe Keeping Receipt confirming exactly what is held, and on what terms.

What Is an SKR?

A Formal Record of What We Hold, and Why

A Safe Keeping Receipt (SKR) is a formal custody document issued by TRADE KEY (SL) LTD confirming that a specific parcel of gold or diamonds is held in our custody — typically while it undergoes assay, grading, verification or the wider steps of facilitating a sale — under agreed, secure conditions.

The SKR records the essential particulars of the consignment: description, quantity, independently verified weight, purity or carat value, our reference number, and the terms under which it is held. It gives a seller or buyer a documented, verifiable record they can rely on for their own records or for a financing or lending discussion — always subject to the underlying agreement between the parties, and without TRADE KEY (SL) LTD acting as a party to that agreement.

Why Clients Request One

What an SKR Gives You

Verified Proof of Custody

A formal, independently verifiable confirmation that a specific parcel — described, weighed and catalogued — is held in our custody.

Supports Financing Discussions

Can be presented as supporting documentation in discussions with banks, lenders or other financial partners.

Clear Terms, Clearly Recorded

Records the consignment's description, verified quantity, reference number and the agreed terms of custody in a single formal document.

A Reference Point for Your Transaction

Gives both sides of a trade a shared, documented reference while facilitation, assay or verification is underway.

How It Works

How to Obtain an SKR

01

Consignment Received

Your gold or diamonds are submitted to us and logged under a unique reference.

02

Verification & Assay

The consignment undergoes the same verification, grading or assay applied to every parcel we facilitate.

03

SKR Issued

A formal Safe Keeping Receipt is issued, setting out the consignment and the terms it is held under.

04

Facilitation Continues

Your consignment remains on record with us for the duration of the agreed arrangement, with our team available for any updates.

An SKR issued by TRADE KEY (SL) LTD confirms custody and the terms it is held under — it is not itself a certificate of authenticity, an assay report or a government licence. Grading, assaying and Kimberley Process certification are carried out by the relevant licensed and accredited bodies; our team can confirm which apply to a specific consignment on request.

A receipt is only as good as the verification behind it — ours is backed by the same standard we apply to every transaction we facilitate.
