The Process
No shipping, no waiting, no pressure.
Walk into our secure downtown office with your items and a valid photo ID (required by California law). Certificates or original boxes help but aren't necessary. Reserved customer parking is available in the ACE lot across the street, directly opposite our storefront.
Watch our GIA Graduate Gemologists test and weigh your precious-metal items with an XRF analyzer and certified scales, against live market rates, right in front of you. Your valuables never leave your sight.
Accept our offer and get paid immediately on the spot in cash, check, or wire. Most people walk out with cash in hand in about 15 minutes.

We know these decisions can be emotional, whether it's an inherited collection, an estate, or pieces from a life change. Everything happens privately, one-on-one, with no pressure to sell and no cost to say no. Many people come in simply to understand what they have. Bring as much or as little as you like.
Just your items and a valid government-issued photo ID, which California law requires for precious metal purchases. Certificates, boxes, or paperwork help but are not required.
Our GIA-trained experts evaluate your items in front of you using live market prices for gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds. We explain exactly how we arrive at the number.
You watch the entire evaluation. Our experts test and weigh everything in front of you and explain how live market prices for gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds shape the number, so nothing is hidden. There's no obligation and no pressure, and you're always free to compare with other buyers before you decide. After 1,000+ reviews and 20 years downtown, our reputation depends on getting this right.
We buy precious-metal items in any condition, including broken chains, single earrings and tangled lots. Luxury handbags should be in good condition. For handbags: We offer free verbal appraisals for purchase and/or loans with no obligation or pressure to sell. Authentication fees may apply to an “Unidentified” or other non-authentic result, only as disclosed, discussed and agreed before authentication.
Handbag appraisal and authentication policyNot accurately, and we won't guess. A real offer requires weighing, testing, and inspecting your items, so every evaluation happens in person, right in front of you. It's free, takes one visit, and carries no obligation. Call anytime with questions or to book.
Most people walk out with cash in hand in about 15 minutes. Larger collections or estates take a little longer. Booking ahead means we're ready with no wait, and walk-ins are always welcome during store hours.
Your verbal appraisal and offer are free, with no obligation to sell. You keep your items if you decline. Handbag authentication is a separate step; any potential authentication fee is explained and agreed to before it begins.
Handbag appraisal and authentication policyCash for most transactions; check or wire available for larger amounts. For an accepted handbag purchase or loan offer, we pay the agreed amount by cash or check once authenticity is confirmed.
Completely. Evaluations happen in a private, secure office, not over a public counter.
You're welcome to, and many of our customers do. Our evaluation is free either way, and because we explain exactly how we reach our number, it's easy to compare offers with confidence.
