| - I just completed a transaction with Kevin at North Scottsdale Loan & Gold. He was pleasant and personal and I enjoyed talking with him as we went through my transactions. I trust him and highly recommend if you have gold or jewelry to sell visit North Scottsdale Loan & Gold.
I wanted to go to 5 places for comp bids, and 2 of the places were listed, I drove there and they didn't exist! They were by appointment only with addresses near or in shopping centers. (One was on Pacesetter Way and the other on 9125 E. Shea) I didn't want that, the other places were not as good as North Scottsdale Loan & Gold. Here was my experience....
I went into Crown Fine Jewelry in Scottsdale to sell some gold and jewelry that I had. Christopher was nice and polite and atmosphere of the store was nice.
However when came to assessing my jewelry...Christopher told me that a large gold heart I had didn't have a diamond in the center of it, but was a faux stone. He would give me $200 for the heavy gold heart. Luckily, I got a second opinion.
The next place I went, North Scottsdale Loan and Gold, said, "Wow..what a gorgeous diamond!"...not only was it a diamond, but it was over a carat and excellent very high quality. They told me they would give me $1700 for it and if they popped the stone out to see it better it may go higher because it was so clear and beautiful.
London Gold --who got it right away as a beautiful diamond and told me the same, I could get more than that, if they took it off to assess it.
I'm sure a jeweler misses it once in awhile. But it's a big mistake, when a simple diamond tester can check it.
If you go to Crown Fine Jewelry, make sure you get a second opinion, I'm glad I did. On one item he was highest, but if you only go one place, I found my best prices were from Kevin at North Scottsdale Loan & Gold.
