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!"

We show you everything: the certified scale, the karat test, the live spot price, the math. Full transparency, every time. If our offer doesn't work, no hard feelings.
You'd be surprised. That broken chain. The mismatched earrings. The class ring. Gold is gold — we pay for the metal content regardless of condition. Bring it all and find out.
That's fine — most of our customers haven't. We walk you through every step, explain what each test does, and never pressure a decision. You're in control the entire time.
All of it. Gold jewelry (rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, watches), gold coins (Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, pre-1933 US gold), gold bars and bullion, dental gold, broken pieces, scrap, estate collections, and inherited gold. Any karat from 8K to 24K.
Same day. Once you accept our offer, you walk out with cash. For larger transactions we offer certified checks or bank wires the same day. No mailing, no waiting periods, no checks that need to clear.
No — please don't. Cleaning or polishing can damage value, especially on antique jewelry or numismatic coins. Bring everything as-is. We test, weigh, and evaluate each piece in its original condition.
Pawn shops typically pay 40–60% of melt value because their business depends on resale margins. We're direct buyers — no expensive showroom, no commissioned sales staff, no franchise fees. Our overhead is lower, so we consistently pay up to 30% more than pawn shops and chain jewelers.
Yes. We offer free in-home appraisals throughout the Twin Cities metro — Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, and Washington counties. We bring certified scales, XRF analyzers, and acid testing kits to your door. For higher-value transactions, we can also meet at your bank.
A valid government-issued photo ID. Minnesota law requires precious metal dealers to record seller identification — this protects both buyer and seller. You don't need original receipts, certificates, or boxes, though they can help with designer jewelry premium or numismatic coin pricing.
Everything to know about turning your gold into the highest possible same-day cash payout
If you're looking for someone who'll buy gold from you for fair, transparent cash — without the pawn shop runaround — you've found it. Mark and Susan have spent 45+ years buying gold from Twin Cities families. Jewelry boxes that haven't been opened in decades. Estate collections waiting on probate. Coin albums from grandfathers. Single class rings. Whole stacks of bullion. Every form of gold, treated the same way: weighed, tested, and priced honestly.
When you search for someone to buy gold from you, the offers vary wildly. Mall kiosks lowball because their model depends on volume. Pawn shops pay 40-60% of melt because they need resale margin. Mail-in services ship your gold across the country before quoting — and any dispute happens after your metal is gone. Local, direct, transparent is the only way to get full value.
Don't sort or cull. Mismatched earrings, broken chains, dental gold, single coins, estate pieces — bring it all. We pay for the metal content, and you'd be surprised how much that "junk drawer" is worth at today's prices.
Cleaning damages numismatic coin value and antique jewelry patina. Bring everything as-is. The difference between a polished pre-1933 gold coin and an uncleaned one can be hundreds of dollars in graded value.
Smart sellers compare. Pawn shops, chain jewelers, mall kiosks — all will quote different numbers, usually well below market. Our offer is calculated against the live spot price, and we encourage you to compare it.
Insist on watching the test and the weigh-in. Our gemologist tests each piece with XRF or acid in front of you, weighs it on a certified digital scale, and shows you the spot calculation. No back rooms, no surprises.
Rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, watches. Broken, tangled, or missing stones — we pay for the gold and any diamonds or stones separately. All karats, 10K through 24K.
American Eagles, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, pre-1933 US gold, gold bars from PAMP Suisse, Credit Suisse, Royal Canadian Mint. Numismatic coins evaluated separately from melt.
Broken pieces, dental crowns, gold fillings, gold wire, industrial gold. We pay for the gold content regardless of form, condition, or how unusual the source.
Whole estate collections, mixed jewelry boxes, unsorted bags. We sort, identify, and price each piece — and provide written appraisals for probate, IRS basis, and tax records.
Twin Cities residents searching for someone to buy their gold near me choose us because we evaluate each piece on its merits. Every item is weighed on a certified scale and tested in front of you. You see the karat, the weight, and how the live spot price translates to your 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 gold 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.
