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!"

Not at all. Bring your jewelry, your photo ID, and 20-40 minutes. We weigh and test each piece in front of you, walk you through the math against live spot, and present an offer. You accept or you don't — same-day cash either way. No paperwork to fill out beforehand, no obligations. Most first-time sellers tell us afterward that it was easier than they expected.
We hear this constantly — and we get it. Selling a wedding band, an inherited piece, or a family heirloom isn't just a transaction. Our role is to give you a fair, honest number so the financial side of the decision is clean. Whether you sell or take more time, we're respectful of either choice. No pressure, ever. Some sellers come back months later; some never do. Both are fine.
No. Our offer stays valid for the duration of your visit, and we encourage you to compare it with other buyers before deciding. If you want to take the offer in writing and bring it home to think, that's fine. If you want to leave and never come back, that's fine too. Walk-away rights are part of the deal — they're how an honest gold buyer earns trust.
Three rules: (1) Get multiple written quotes — pawn shops, chain jewelers, and direct buyers — for the same pieces on the same day. (2) Demand to see live COMEX spot price and the karat/weight math, not just a flat number. (3) Choose a buyer with a GIA Certified Gemologist who can identify designer, antique, and stone premium beyond melt. Comparison protects you, and direct buyers with low overhead consistently pay 25-30% more than pawn shops.
With us. Same-day cash on every sale — you walk out with cash, not a check that has to clear. Most appointments take 20-40 minutes from arrival to payment. Call (612) 802-9686 to schedule, or fill out the form. We're at 6528 W Lake St, St. Louis Park, by appointment only — and we offer free house calls and bank meets within 70 miles for larger collections.
A valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport). That's it for most transactions. Minnesota law requires precious metal dealers to record seller identification — standard for the industry and a protection against stolen-property markets. No appraisal documents, receipts, or original boxes are required, though if you have certificates for designer or stone-set pieces, bring them — they can add to the offer.
No minimum. Whether you have one broken chain or an entire estate collection, we'll appraise it and make an offer. Single-earring lots, small scrap, and one-piece sales all welcome. Larger lots get more attention and often qualify for free house calls or bank meets, but there's no floor on what we'll evaluate.
Yes. Damage, repairs, soldering, missing stones, replaced clasps, resized rings — none of it changes the gold content, and that's what we pay for. Repaired pieces are tested the same way as undamaged pieces. We weigh, verify karat, and price against live spot. Condition only matters if the piece has designer or antique value where condition affects collector premium.
From arrival to cash in hand: usually 20-40 minutes for a typical jewelry box. Larger estates with mixed eras and designer pieces may take 60-90 minutes for full evaluation and written appraisal. The actual selling decision is yours — we never pressure for fast acceptance. You can take the offer home, compare with other buyers, and come back. Same-day cash is available the moment you accept.
How to prepare, what to bring, what to expect, and how to walk out with the most cash for your rings, chains, and designer pieces
Most people sit on gold jewelry for years before selling. A bracelet from a relationship that ended. An engagement ring from a marriage that didn't last. Inherited pieces no one in the family wears. Designer items bought on impulse. Class rings from high school. Eventually, the pieces are worth more as cash than as clutter — and the question becomes how to sell gold jewelry without getting underpaid.
The good news: it's not complicated. The bad news: most buyers structurally can't pay you fairly. Pawn shops need resale margin. Mall kiosks have lease costs and corporate markup pressure. Mail-in services hold your gold hostage between shipping and the offer. The actual best way to sell gold jewelry is in person, with a buyer who shows you the live spot price, weighs and tests in front of you, and pays same-day cash on the spot. That's what we do.
Bring all of it, even broken or tangled pieces. Single earrings, snapped chains, dented bands, mismatched cufflinks — all gold has cash value. Don't pre-sort; we'll do that. Don't clean or polish; that can reduce antique value. Just put everything in a small bag or box and bring it as-is.
You'll need a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) — Minnesota law requires it for precious metal transactions. Call (612) 802-9686 to schedule, or fill out the form. We're by appointment only at 6528 W Lake St, St. Louis Park. Free house calls within 70 miles for larger collections.
Each piece is weighed on a certified scale, karat-tested with XRF or acid (non-destructive), and priced against the live COMEX spot. Designer signatures, gemstones, and antique premium are evaluated separately by our GIA Certified Gemologist. You see every step — no math hidden behind the counter.
We present the offer in writing. You decide. Accept, and we pay you in cash on the spot — no checks, no clearing, no waiting. Want to compare with other buyers first? Take the written offer home and come back. Don't want to sell at all? That's fine too. Walk-away rights are always yours.
Engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary bands, eternity rings, signet rings, class rings, and cocktail rings. With or without stones. All karats from 10K to 24K, including platinum and white gold.
Cuban links, rope chains, herringbone, figaro, box, byzantine — all styles. Tennis bracelets, charm bracelets, bangles, cuff bracelets. Broken or tangled? Bring it as-is. We pay for the gold content regardless.
Tiffany & Co., Cartier, David Yurman, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany T, Cartier Love. Authenticated and priced with maker's premium — not melt-only. Bring the original box or papers if you have them.
Whole jewelry boxes, mixed-era collections, Victorian and Art Deco pieces, mourning jewelry, lockets, brooches, charm collections. We sort, identify, authenticate, and price each piece. Written appraisals available for probate.
If you're researching where to sell gold jewelry near me and what to expect, the experience matters as much as the math. Our office at 6528 W Lake St in St. Louis Park is by appointment only — no walk-in pressure, no commissioned salespeople, no upselling. You bring your jewelry, we sit at the appraisal counter, and we work through each piece together. Most appointments take 20-40 minutes, depending on volume.
Twin Cities sellers come to us from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Edina, Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Minnetonka, Woodbury, and across the metro. For larger collections or estates, we offer free house calls and bank meets within 70 miles — your security and convenience matter, especially when you're carrying significant value.
Pawn shops pay 40-60% of melt. Mall kiosks pay 50-65%. We pay 90-95% on bullion-equivalent gold, plus full premium on stones and designer pieces. On a typical $1,500 jewelry box, that's the difference between $750 and $1,400. Same gold, very different outcomes.
You walk out with cash — not a check that needs to clear, not store credit, not financing. Same-day, full amount, no fees deducted. Pawn shops sometimes hold funds; mail-in services take weeks. We pay the moment you accept the offer.
Get the appraisal, take the written offer, walk away if you want. We don't use high-pressure sales tactics, ticking-clock urgency, or "today only" gimmicks. Most chain jewelers and mall kiosks pressure for fast decisions because they need quotas. We don't have quotas — just honest offers.
45+ years of buying gold jewelry, plus a GIA Certified Gemologist on staff. Designer pieces, antique craftsmanship, gemstone quality — we see what others miss. A Tiffany chain priced as scrap can be the difference between a $500 offer and a $1,800 offer. We won't make that mistake.
Engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary pieces from a chapter that's closed. We handle these sales with discretion and fairness. No questions, no judgment — just an honest price and same-day cash so you can move forward.
A parent or grandparent's jewelry box, decades of accumulated pieces, mixed eras, mixed values. We sort, identify, and appraise each piece — including written valuations for probate. Designer items, gemstones, and antique premiums are all priced separately, not lumped as scrap.
Class rings from high school. Charm bracelets that haven't been worn in years. Chains that broke and never got fixed. Gold earrings missing their match. Jewelry that's been sitting in drawers — turn it into cash without the guilt of throwing it away.
Medical bills, home repairs, tuition, an unexpected expense. Old gold jewelry can be turned into same-day cash without the loan terms, interest, or paperwork of a pawn or financing route. You sell it, you keep the money. No strings.
Bring your jewelry, your photo ID, and 20-40 minutes. Walk out with same-day cash. Free, no-obligation appraisal — accept or leave the offer in writing and decide later. Live spot pricing, GIA Certified Gemologist on every piece.
