What clients say

  • By far one of the nicest people I have ever met — very honest and trustworthy when it comes to prices and what your rings are worth. I will definitely go to him, and him only, from now on. I’ll recommend him to anyone looking to get rid of any old rings, metals, or precious gems. He is by far one of the best people out there!

    — Dessa W.

  • I have been with Makayla for five years — not for gems, but for coins. All three times I worked with her, I felt I was getting a fair price. Not only did she help me understand the value of the silver coins in my Fidelity account, but the information she gave me also helped me decide when to buy silver. I added to my silver holdings, and they have gone sky-high. I think you’re very lucky to have Makayla. Thanks, Makayla.

    — Phil L.

  • Having made several transactions with Precious Gems and Metals, I found Walter and Makayla easy to communicate with and a pleasure to do business with. The transactions were easy, prompt, and as promised. I would highly recommend them for any precious metals transaction.

    — S.R.

  • My husband and I have had very good experiences with Precious Gems and Metals. Both Stan and Makayla were professional and knowledgeable. We felt confident selling them the gold jewelry and silver pieces we had collected over the years. We highly recommend Precious Gems and Metals.

    — John and Cary S.

  • My father collected coins for over 40 years. When he passed away, we called PGM. Dave was at our kitchen table for more than three hours and looked through all of it to come up with an offer that was more than I expected. Thanks!

    — Sandy R., Louisville, KY

  • We had several sets of sterling silver and a large tea set taking up room in a closet for years — we never used them! PGM came right to the house, looked over our items, and paid us on the spot.

    — Earl C., La Mesa, CA

  • I don’t feel comfortable carrying all of my old jewelry and several diamond rings out of the house, so I requested a house call. The PGM representative showed up on time, and I was more than pleased with the service and experience.

    — Beverly M., Carmel, IN
