Real reviews from real customers of Landmark Diamonds & Precious Metals.
"Mark and Susan were incredibly helpful in presenting options and guidance for the sale of my diamond ring. Both are knowledgeable and realistic about the business."
"Mark was great to work with, he is very knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. I didn't feel rushed and was happy with the outcome."
"Professional, easy to work with and gave us their total attention. We got a great price for our gold, much higher than other jewelers offered. Excellent referral to an artist who helped us to design just what we wanted."
"A wonderful experience. Both fair, considerate, respectful, and informative. Mark was a joy to speak with. He helped us understand the fair value of it, cleaning to improve shine and overall appeal. Honestly one of the kindest, most considerate salesmen I have ever worked with."
"My Bride had an old gold watch that she didn't wear anymore. Mark not only offered us 7.67% more than others had offered, but he said he would pay us extra if he sold it for more than anticipated. He even met us at our own bank. So ethical and professional!"
"Mark not only offered us 7.67% more than others had offered, he even met us at our own bank so we could deposit the cash right away. He was so ethical and professional that we want to highly recommend him to others!"

Our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates stones using calibrated tools and current diamond market comparables. Stones get priced separately from gold, so you're never paid melt value for a piece that has real diamond worth.
Always. Many of our customers come to us with rings from a marriage long past, jewelry from a parent who's gone, or pieces tied to memories. We listen first, evaluate honestly, and never push a sale.
We tell you up front. If something is gold-plated, costume, or below melt threshold, we'll say so. Our reputation depends on honesty, not on getting you to sell. Free appraisals, zero pressure.
All of it. Rings, wedding bands, necklaces, chains, bracelets, bangles, earrings, pendants, brooches, watches, and class rings. Any karat from 8K to 24K. Broken, tangled, missing stones, or in original condition — we evaluate everything for cash.
Yes. Our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates the gold and stones separately, so you get paid for both. Diamonds 0.30ct and above usually carry meaningful resale value, and colored stones like sapphires, emeralds, and rubies can add significant premium when of high quality.
Your payout depends on three factors: karat purity (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K), weight in grams, and the live gold spot price the day you sell. We also factor in any diamonds, gemstones, or designer brand premium. Call (612) 802-9686 for a same-day quote.
Bring everything — we'll evaluate each piece individually and tell you which approach yields the most cash. Designer sets (Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman) often carry premium when intact, while plain melt-value items pay the same regardless. We never lump sentimental sets in with melt without showing you the math.
We test every item to identify what's actually solid gold versus plated or filled. Solid gold (10K and above) gets paid melt value plus any premium. Heavily gold-filled items can yield small amounts of recoverable gold; plated and vermeil pieces typically don't have melt value but we'll always tell you up front.
Absolutely. Broken chains, snapped clasps, missing stones, bent rings, single earrings — none of it affects the gold's melt value. We pay for the metal content, not the wearability. Most jewelry that ends up in a drawer for years is worth real cash today.
Everything to know about getting the most cash for your gold rings, chains, watches, and estate jewelry
Most gold jewelry buyers pay only for the metal content. That's a fine approach for plain pieces — but if your jewelry has diamonds, gemstones, designer hallmarks, or vintage value, you're leaving money on the table when you walk into a melt-only buyer. The difference can be hundreds or thousands of dollars on a single piece.
When you search for gold jewelry buyers near me, you want someone who can actually identify what they're looking at. Mark and Susan have spent 45+ years evaluating gold jewelry — distinguishing real Tiffany from convincing copies, spotting an antique European-cut diamond worth 3x its weight, and recognizing when a "cheap" mid-century piece carries a designer hallmark.
Mismatched earrings, broken chains, the ring from a past chapter, jewelry boxes you haven't opened in years. Don't clean or polish anything — it can damage value, especially on antique or patina-rich pieces.
Designer hallmarks (Tiffany, Cartier, Van Cleef, David Yurman) carry significant resale premium. Original boxes, papers, and certificates increase value too. Bring whatever paperwork you have.
Insist on watching every step. Our gemologist tests purity in front of you, weighs each piece on a certified scale, and evaluates stones with calibrated equipment. You see how each number is calculated.
Accept and walk out with cash in hand. For higher-value transactions we offer certified checks or bank wires at your bank. No mailing, no waiting, no shipping insurance hassles.
Engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary rings, class rings, signet rings. Solid gold from 10K through 24K, plus any diamonds or gemstones evaluated separately.
Rope chains, herringbone, figaro, Cuban links, tennis bracelets, cuff bracelets, charm bracelets. Tangled, broken, or missing clasps — we pay for the metal content.
Solid gold watches, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Yurman, Bvlgari. Designer pieces often carry premium beyond gold weight — we recognize and pay for it.
Whole estate collections, Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century, retro pieces. We provide written appraisals for probate and tax purposes, and we never lump sentimental antiques in with melt without showing you both numbers.
Twin Cities residents searching for gold jewelry buyers near me choose us because we evaluate each piece on its own merits. Every ring is weighed, every diamond is measured, every hallmark is checked. You see the gold weight, the stone breakdown, and how we arrived at the offer — no mystery, no pressure, just a fair deal.
Whether you're in Uptown Minneapolis, Highland Park in Saint Paul, Edina, Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, or anywhere across the metro, a free jewelry appraisal is one call away at (612) 802-9686. We come to you, meet at your bank, or you can visit our St. Louis Park location.
Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies require specialized evaluation. Our credentialed gemologist uses calibrated tools and current market comparables — not "best-guess" pricing — so stone-set jewelry gets full value.
Pawn shops typically pay 40-60% of melt value because they need to resell at retail with significant markup. We're direct buyers — no expensive showroom, no commissioned sales staff. That overhead difference goes directly into your payout.
