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!"

The opposite. Our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates the stones separately and adds their value on top of the gold price. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and quality pearls all carry real worth. Many buyers ignore stones or pay melt-only — we don't. Bring it intact and we'll price every component.
Bring all of it — exactly as it is. Broken chains, missing stones, single earrings, dented bands — none of it changes the gold content. That's what we pay for. No need to clean, repair, or untangle anything. We'll weigh and test the pile in front of you and add it all up.
Because we authenticate. Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, Bvlgari, Van Cleef — these maker's marks add significant premium beyond melt, and we pay for it. A buyer who melts a Cartier love bracelet without recognizing the brand is leaving money on the table. Yours. We won't.
We buy gold jewelry in every form — engagement rings, wedding bands, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, watches, charms, lockets, religious medallions, class rings, brooches, and cufflinks. Designer signed jewelry (Tiffany, Cartier, David Yurman, Bvlgari), antique and estate pieces, broken or single earrings, and tangled chains all welcome. We buy 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold.
Yes — and our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates the stones separately so you get paid for both the gold AND the gemstones. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls, opals, and other quality stones add real value beyond melt. Many buyers ignore stones or pay melt-only; we don't. Bring the piece intact and we'll price each component.
Three factors: weight (in grams or pennyweight), purity (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K — verified with acid or XRF testing), and the live gold spot price from the COMEX market. We do all three in front of you. Designer pieces, gemstones, and antique value get added on top. The math is fully transparent — you'll see every step.
Absolutely. Broken chains, missing stones, single earrings, dented rings, snapped clasps — none of it changes the gold content, and that's what we pay for. You don't need to repair, untangle, or sort anything. Bring it as-is and we'll weigh and test it together.
Yes, when warranted. Pieces from Tiffany & Co., Cartier, David Yurman, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Rolex, and similar brands often carry significant collector premium beyond melt value. A buyer who pays melt-only on a Tiffany platinum chain is leaving money on the table — yours. Our GIA Certified Gemologist authenticates and prices the maker's premium correctly.
No need. Cleaning doesn't change the gold content or the price we pay, and aggressive polishing can actually reduce the value of antique or designer pieces by removing original patina. Bring it as it is. We'll handle the rest.
What we accept, how we price it, and how to walk away 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 wants to wear. Designer items bought on impulse. Eventually, the pieces are worth more as cash than as clutter — and the question becomes where to sell.
When you're searching "who buys gold jewelry near me", the actual question is who'll pay you the most for it without making the experience awful. Pawn shops lowball because their business model requires resale margin. Mall kiosks pay corporate-margin prices. Mail-in services hold your jewelry hostage between shipping and the offer. We do something different: weigh, test, and price every piece in front of you, with the live spot anchored to the offer.
Every item is weighed in grams or pennyweight on a certified, calibrated scale — in front of you. You see the exact weight per piece. Mixed lots get sorted by karat first so each gram is paid at the right rate.
Karat stamps lie surprisingly often. We verify 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K with non-destructive XRF testing or precise acid testing. You watch the test. Verified karat means honest pricing — no guessing, no rounding down.
The COMEX gold spot price moves every minute. Our offer is calculated against the live spot at the moment you sell, not yesterday's number or a "house rate." You see the spot, the math, and your payout — fully transparent.
Designer signatures, quality gemstones, and antique craftsmanship aren't melt — they're additional value. Our GIA Certified Gemologist identifies what's there and prices it separately. The final number is melt + premium, not just melt.
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've been searching for someone who buys gold jewelry near me, 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 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.
We don't go through middlemen. After 45+ years in the Twin Cities, our refiner relationships are direct, scaled, and personal. That's the structural reason we can pay 25-30% more than pawn shops on the same piece — fewer hands taking a margin between you and the refiner.
No mall lease. No commissioned sales staff. No franchise fees. No retail showroom we have to keep stocked. Every dollar saved in operating costs is a dollar we can pay you. Pawn shops, chain jewelers, and mall kiosks structurally can't match this — their overhead won't allow it.
Most buyers pay melt because that's all they can identify. We pay melt + designer + stones + antique premium because we can identify all of it. A Tiffany chain priced as scrap is the difference between a $500 offer and a $1,800 offer. We won't make that mistake.
