California Jewelry & Coin — Local services in Murrieta

I've been to quite a few pawn shops and gold dealers gold buyer shop's. I think this is probably the third most I've ever written about anything online but I must say this place hold's the standard for excellence. Most places that I have been to are you there trying to give you a very unreasonable low estimate in the best situation or a completely an accurate estimate to which these other pawn shops profit off of in huge numbers which exceed any of their in store sales. With the economy bad it's probably why there are so many of these horrible so-called pawnbroker gold dealers however just as I was about to give up as I work hard for my gold tried California Jewelry & Coin. I called ahead and expected the same answer for the questions which I propose do you buy gold and does it have to be in the form of jewelry can it be in gold nugget for example the website stated. After capturing this at least 50 times this year from other places I reluctantly went down there to check it out and give them a shot.when I walked in the store I looked around I noticed the price of most of their jewelry was actually far more decent then most of the places that I have been but two more of the surprise there selection of jewelry was pretty extensive. ( even though I'm not particularly into jewelry) I waited about a minute at most before Dylan come over and asked if you could help me of course I have my box of gold and said certainly. Ideas for a breath of air as I usually do before I open the box and expect him to say oh I'm sorry we don't take that but instead he said let's have a look pulled out some acid and proceeded to test my gold. It wouldn't be the first time somebody has tested my gold and then told me that they would not be able to buy any but if I left it was done they could send it somewhere and I could come back 2 weeks later and they could tell me what I would get no instead he said "I'll buy this." I was shocked the only person I've ever had buy my gold was the assay-er - smelter who has a minimum 500 Graham Troy that's more than a pound of gold and not everybody has over a pound of gold to get rid of or wants to get rid of that much and I have come into extreme frustration until the day I stepped into the California Jewelry & Coin in Murrieta I am a real customer this is a real experience Dylan was extremely professional very honest he told me the price that you would pay for my silver as he Wade it out I calculated approximately the price that I would get before I left and he actually came over the expected price that I would normally get in fact he paid the highest price I've ever been 4 silver also purchase some of my gold and was very pleasant experience to say the least he doesn't know it yet but I'm going to be coming back there soon with another batch and I'm looking forward to receiving the same experience once again Dylan sets the standard for excellence in...

First time selling gold jewelry. Looked at few places online for recommendations. This place stood out. Wasn’t sure what to expect and was actually little nervous about the process and experience. Had to get buzzed in at front door. As soon as I walked in I felt at ease due to the cleanness and organization of the place. May sound weird but this to me is a sign that people take pride in their work and have a clarity about their work. Was greeted by lady working on something and she promptly told me to take a seat and I’d be assisted next. I was called with in 5 minutes by Clay. I explained the piece of jewelry I had and handed it over to him. He immediately started to exam the piece while at the same time talking with me about various things to consider. I never felt pressured of any type. Found out Clay is a veteran as myself which open up further discussion about our service in the military. Clay went into good detail about my item and revealed things I was not aware which gave my piece more value than I expected. When he presented an offer I was very surprised because I was not expecting as much. Of course I accepted as I thought it was a more than fair and in all sincerity had no use of the jewelry which was given to me by a family member for money owed. Clay even offered a receipt so I can show to said family member. Before leaving Clay explained that gold and silver are pretty straightforward to appraise and purchase but that diamonds and such are little trickier due to the determination of the quality of stone. So he said to keep that in mind if I return with any other items to sell. He counted out the cash and I was out. Overall just a great...

I feel sick to my stomach. Last week I made the HUGE mistake of going to AAA Gold Exchange and sold some very valuable gold bullion coins there and an 18-kt gold bracelet that was quite heavy. I wanted to think about her offer overnight and the young girl told me the price would probably go down the next day when the stock exchange opened (or even in an hour). I didn't get even close to what the 8 gold bullion coins were worth or the bracelet and I walked out feeling so sick from doing the transaction. What they were offering me for my diamonds was such a joke, I wouldn't even consider it. They wouldn't pay me cash, either. They made a check, which I didn't want.

Fast track to today, where I typed in "pawn shop" versus "cash for gold" last week, and I found the most honest, reputable owner of any pawn broker and gold buyer in the industry. He offered me a LOT more for my 2.5 carat, 18k white gold diamond ring and told me that if gold is $1,350 an ounce and you have an ounce, then I PAY YOU $1,350. NO ONE from all the places I contacted pays the actual amount.

He even talked me out of taking what he offered for my diamond ring and said I could make twice that (or more) on a private party ad. I said I didn't want anyone coming to my home and he said, once you are a customer here (when you walk in my door) you can meet them here so you are safe. Wow! Really?! Wow!

I won't ever go anywhere when I want to sell any gold or jewelry. He is truly an exemplary model of an honest business person in a cut throat industry. He also paid me in cash! Thank you, Dillon. You give your industry...
