I can't say enough about this business and its owner, Eric.
His evaluations were significantly higher than two other Scottsdale jewelers I went to - E.D. Marshall and Towne Jewelers. On an 8mm 14K Omega necklace, 56 grams, he gave me $1,100.00 - the other two firms both quoted $800(!)
BTW, Towne did a formal, written appraisal on this piece earlier this year for over $5,000.00. They also appraised a ring for over $9,000.00 that they now say is only worth $500 to them. Incredible.
Don't screw around with area jewelry stores - go to someone who is HONEST and legitimately pays top-dollar - see Eric. I will never sell anything to any other company.
