Hirata — Local services in Yokosuka

I came to Hirata for an appraisal of my 20 to 30 year old necklace that my mother gave me. The staff immediately judged me. They took one look at the necklace and told me I wouldn't be able to get any money for it. A pawn shop I went to next, offered 30,000 immediately. (Which was a lowball offer. Since they are a pawn shop.) This shop actually confirmed and tested whether the necklace was real gold, and it obviously was. Thus, I can only conclude the staff judged me based on: 1. I was a foreigner. And 2. I was a man. They did not even attempt to confirm whether the gold was real or not because there were no markings. I researched that independent jewelry makers and decades old necklaces often do not mark their jewelry.

So, if you would like incompetent, judgemental, and misinformed staff then this place is good. The least they could have done was confirm whether it was real gold or not. But instead they deemed it fake merely because there was no marking. Don't operate a business if you don't wish to...
