• A U.S. self-directed IRA and a Canadian registered plan are different legal and tax arrangements. Start with the rules for your country, account, and provider before considering any bullion purchase.
NOURA’S JEWELLERY provides retail product information only. We do not open or administer retirement accounts, select custodians or storage providers, confirm product eligibility, or provide tax, legal, or investment advice.
A U.S. self-directed IRA is established and controlled through a qualified custodian. The custodian, not this store, must confirm account eligibility, funding instructions, permitted products, transaction documents, and the required depository or custody arrangement.

An IRA is not a Canadian registered plan. Canadian institutions decide which investments and custody arrangements they support within their plans, subject to current law. Do not purchase bullion for a registered plan until the provider has approved the exact product and process in writing.

Step 1: Identify the account and decision-maker
Confirm whether you are dealing with a U.S. self-directed IRA or a Canadian registered plan. Contact the custodian, trustee, financial institution, or plan administrator that has legal authority over the account.
Ask for the current rules, fee schedule, required forms, permitted payment method, and approved custody or delivery process.
Step 2: Confirm the exact product and process
Provide the account decision-maker with the proposed product specifications and ask for written confirmation before ordering. Confirm who will place the order, who will own the metal, and where it must be delivered.
Step 3: Request a retail quote
After the account provider has confirmed the requirements, contact NOURA’S JEWELLERY for current product specifications, availability, pricing, and delivery information.
A quote does not reserve inventory, determine suitability, confirm account eligibility, or replace the instructions of your account provider.

Frequently asked questions
No. An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a U.S. account. RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, and other registered plans are Canadian arrangements with different tax, investment, custody, and reporting rules. Confirm the rules that apply to your country and account with the financial institution or plan administrator responsible for it.
No. NOURA’S JEWELLERY is a precious-metals retailer, not a bank, custodian, trustee, plan administrator, tax adviser, or investment adviser. We can provide current product specifications, availability, and a retail quote after you obtain any required approval from your account provider.
No eligibility is implied by a product listing, metal type, purity statement, or purchase option on this website. The exact product, form of ownership, payment method, dealer, delivery destination, and storage arrangement must satisfy the rules of the relevant account and provider. Obtain written confirmation before ordering.
A U.S. self-directed IRA generally requires a qualified custodian to establish and administer the account. The custodian determines permitted transactions and may require metals to be purchased and held through an accepted depository process. Rules, providers, fees, and product eligibility must be verified independently before a purchase.
Available precious-metals exposure and direct physical-bullion options vary by plan, institution, product, and current Canadian rules. Some providers do not support direct physical holdings. Ask your institution to confirm in writing whether the exact proposed purchase and custody arrangement is permitted.
Do not assume that personally owned metal can be contributed or transferred. The account provider must confirm whether an in-kind contribution or transfer is permitted, how it must be valued and documented, and which custody steps are required.
Storage and possession rules depend on the jurisdiction, account, provider, and transaction. A U.S. custodian or Canadian plan administrator may require a specific custodian, trustee, depository, or recordkeeping arrangement. We do not identify any storage company as approved or suitable for your account.
Review the product price and premium, applicable taxes, currency conversion, payment charges, shipping, insurance, storage, account setup, annual administration, transaction, sale, and withdrawal or distribution fees. Request current written fee schedules from every provider involved.
No. Tax treatment depends on personal circumstances, jurisdiction, account type, transaction, and current law. Consult a qualified tax professional and the account provider before contributing, transferring, buying, selling, withdrawing, or taking a distribution.
Precious-metals prices can rise or fall, premiums and buyback spreads can change, and physical products can take time to sell or deliver. Currency movements, fees, taxes, custody restrictions, and account deadlines may also affect the result. Past price performance does not guarantee future results.
We can provide product descriptions, stated purity and weight, current availability, retail pricing, payment and delivery options, and order documentation. We cannot determine whether a product is suitable for you or eligible for a particular account.
