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!"

That's exactly why our appraisal is free. Bring it in — we'll test, weigh, and tell you honestly what it's worth in cash. If it's not worth selling, we'll tell you that too. No pressure, no minimum.
Never. We show you the math: karat purity, weight, spot price, stone value, designer premium where applicable. You see how every dollar of the offer is calculated, then you decide. We don't negotiate down — our first offer is our best offer.
Yes — until you actually sign and accept the cash, you can walk away at any point. Zero obligation, even after we've appraised and quoted. Take the offer home, compare prices, come back if you want — or don't.
Bring your jewelry to us — or we'll come to you. We weigh each piece, test purity, evaluate any diamonds and gemstones separately, then quote you a transparent cash offer. Accept and you walk out with cash the same day. No mailing, no shipping, no obligation if you decline.
We're a direct buyer, so we pay cash rather than store credit. The advantage: cash is universally usable — you can buy whatever you want, wherever you want, including a new piece from another jeweler with the proceeds. No store credit lock-in, no need to settle for limited inventory.
All of it. Gold rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, watches, designer pieces (Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman), antique and vintage jewelry, broken pieces, single earrings, estate collections. Any karat 10K through 24K. Also silver, platinum, and diamond jewelry.
Same day. Once you accept our offer, you receive cash or — for larger transactions — a certified check or bank wire. The full evaluation typically takes 15-30 minutes. No appointments needed for smaller pieces; call ahead for collections.
With us, they're the same — we pay full cash value either way. Some jewelry stores offer inflated "trade-in credit" that locks you into spending it there, but the underlying cash value is often less. Cash gives you flexibility and full value with no strings.
No — our free in-house appraisal is performed by a GIA Certified Gemologist and reflects current market value. If you already have an appraisal (especially insurance appraisals which are usually inflated), bring it as a reference, but it's not required.
Everything to know about turning unwanted rings, chains, and watches into same-day cash you can spend anywhere
Most jewelry stores offer "trade-in" deals that look generous but lock you into their store credit. The catch: that credit can only be spent on their inventory, often at marked-up retail prices. The "trade-in value" they quote is usually less than the actual cash value of your jewelry — they just hide the difference in the credit math.
When you trade in jewelry for cash with us, there's no credit lock-in, no inventory limit, no hidden math. You get the full market value of your piece in cash, today, and you spend it however you want — including buying something new from another jeweler if that's your goal.
Store credit limits where you can spend, often at marked-up prices. Cash gives you full flexibility. If a jeweler tries to convince you their "credit value" is higher, ask what the cash value is — usually it's significantly lower.
Original receipts, certificates, designer boxes, and appraisals can all add value — especially for branded pieces (Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman) where provenance matters. Don't worry if you don't have them; we still buy.
A diamond ring has three layers: gold, stones, and design/brand. Make sure your buyer evaluates each separately. Our gemologist shows you the gold weight, stone quality, and any premium — line by line, in front of you.
Accept our offer and you leave with cash in hand. No "we'll mail you a check", no "wire transfer in 3-5 days," no waiting period. Same-day completion, every time.
From past relationships, upgraded sets, or estate collections. We evaluate the diamond, the gold mounting, and any designer hallmarks separately — full value for everything.
Solid gold pieces in any condition. Tangled chains, broken clasps, dead watch movements — none of that affects melt value. We weigh and pay for the gold content.
Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, Van Cleef, Bvlgari, Buccellati. Designer hallmarks command real premium beyond melt — bring whatever paperwork you have to maximize the offer.
Whole jewelry boxes, mixed lots, inherited collections. We sort, identify, and pay for each piece individually. Written appraisals available for probate or estate documentation.
Twin Cities residents looking to trade in jewelry for cash choose us because we treat the trade-in as exactly what it is: a sale. We pay full market value in cash, on the spot, with no strings. You're free to spend the money on a new piece, a vacation, a home project — wherever it serves you best.
Whether you're in Uptown Minneapolis, Highland Park in Saint Paul, Edina, Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, or anywhere across the metro, a free trade-in 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.
The money is yours. Spend it on a new piece, a vacation, household needs, anything. No store credit lock-in, no inflated retail markup, no inventory limits.
Many "trade-in" buyers lump everything into a single melt-only number. We don't. Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies get evaluated independently, then added to your offer.
Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, Van Cleef pieces command real cash premium beyond melt value. Most pawn shops and mall kiosks don't pay it; we always do.
Since 1979 — long enough to know what each era and maker is worth, who pays what, and how to give Twin Cities sellers a fair, transparent deal. WCCO TV's #1 Appraiser. BBB A+.
Selling old jewelry to put toward a new ring, a milestone gift, or a custom piece. Cash gives you flexibility — buy from any jeweler, including custom designers, without store credit limitations.
End of a relationship, settling an estate, downsizing, retirement. Jewelry tied to past chapters often holds significant cash value. We handle these transactions with discretion and respect.
Pieces you'll never wear sitting in a drawer for years. Old class rings, mismatched earrings, broken chains. All of it has cash value. Bring it all and turn it into money you can use.
Gold prices have hit historic highs. Pieces bought decades ago at much lower prices now represent meaningful gains. Locking in profits while the market is rich is smart portfolio management.
