If you want to sell jewelry in NYC, especially for cash, you’ll want to know where you can get the absolute best price for your valuables. You should also make sure you’re getting high quality service from experienced professionals.
So you have some jewelry you want to sell, and you’re thinking, “How do I find the best jewelry buyers near me?” You want to make sure you’re getting competitive prices for your precious gems and designer jewelry.
Whether you have gold, diamonds, watches, or other types of fine jewelry, TRUVAL can help.
Our esteemed jewelry appraisers are trained to give you a fair price that is higher than our competitors. We can do this because of our trusted relationships with jewelry buyers, auction houses, collectors, and retailers worldwide. We also keep up with the latest in jewelry trends and the resale markets.
Want to know the best way to sell jewelry? Try TRUVAL.
You can sell jewelry for cash in Manhattan’s Diamond District, but don’t settle for the first shop you come across. Trust us, there are better options out there.
Before they found us our clients always come to us with the same problems. They’ll say, “I don’t know of any trustworthy diamond stores near me,” or they’re having trouble getting an honest valuation with the brokers they do know.
TRUVAL has a strong, positive reputation for giving our customers the best in diamond valuations and appraisals.
Let’s say you need to sell an engagement ring. We won’t just take advantage of someone getting over a broken engagement. We care about our customers and will treat you and your diamond with the utmost discretion and care.
Even if you live in the greater New York area, you may want to take advantage of our shipping service to avoid the hassle of traveling to Manhattan – though we love getting to know our jewelry customers in person.
We offer payment for your fine jewelry in cash (locally), check, and wire transfer.
TRUVAL can assess all sorts of jewelry and precious gems, including necklaces, rings, earrings, watches, brooches, pins, and other types of jeweled decorative items worn on the body.
Engagement rings, wedding rings, and other special occasion rings can also be appraised and sold. Whether the jewelry is gold or platinum, or has a precious gem set in it, we can appraise and buy it.
Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires have value, and can be resold even if the setting is not in the best condition.
You may consider having such precious gems certified to get more value from them. You can feel free to contact us if you have questions about this.
Do you have vintage jewelry just lying around in a drawer? You can sell your old jewelry for cash and it may be worth more than you realize.
Perhaps you have Art Deco jewelry from the 1920s or ‘30s passed down from a grandparent. Or, maybe you were a swinging young socialite in the Disco Era and have some amazing vintage ‘70s gold necklaces that would have some value.
Your old jewelry may not be of interest to you, but it may well be covered by a collector.
We keep up with the latest jewelry trends and have a keen eye to recognize vintage styles from decades past. Whether it is the 1890s or the 1940s, you may have an interesting, unique item that has value.
Sometimes having a precious gem put in a better setting (especially if the original is broken) can help with the resale value. The main reason for this would be for insurance purposes, otherwise, it is not necessary.
However, with vintage jewelry pieces, especially those that are quite old and fragile, you may hurt the value by cleaning, resetting, or removing tarnish. It can be tempting to take a scrub brush to some older, tarnished items, but please do not do so until you talk to an expert.
Once again, you can contact us if you have questions about whether you should clean up your fine jewelry before bringing it in for appraisal.
Unlike some other jewelry brokers, we don’t hassle or pressure you during the appraisal process. You can come our Manhattan store, where you will be taken care of in a private, secure showroom.
We truly care about our customers and are not here to take advantage of you. We understand that selling jewelry can sometimes be emotional, whether you are parting with a wedding ring after a divorce or selling a family heirloom to pay the mortgage.
Selling jewelry should not feel like harassment or a big sales pitch. We treat our customers like family, and our reward is knowing that we helped you with a fair and good price for your valuable gems and jewelry.
TRUVAL is located in Manhattan at 37 W 47th St. 6th Floor, #600 New York NY 10036, just a few blocks away from Radio City Music Hall.
Remember, we not only provide convenient appraisals in our Manhattan-based storefront, but we can also help you long-distance via FedEx. Contact us today for more information.

They are very nice to you and will treat you beyond your expectations. Shlomi Shlomo was the best buyer I have ever met, I sold some old jewelry and he was very understanding. I agreed to a price but he realized it was worth more and gave me more than what I agreed to, no place would do that. Highly recommended. Thank you for your service TruVal. read less

I had dealt with an unscrupulous buyers I have dealt with auction houses (very high commission) and other buyers through the years) so believe me I did my research! TruVal is where I will go to in future! Steve was amazing and actually I got more for my gold than I thought I would! I know that might sound suspect but I know that when you look online at the value of something you have to take in to account that the buyers have to store the item/items insure and do a lot of other stuff, so you will never get what it says online! So having worked out what I thought would be fair price I was schooled when Steve offered me way more! Also there was no pressure, which so buyers will exert in order to seal the deal!So please if you have to sell your fine jewelry, silver or gold go to Steve at truVal read less

Somehow I found this place and made a phone call. The receptionist was very calm and nice, easy to talk to, while I was waiting I had a chat with her and she took my fear away. And I met Shlomi, he evaluated my diamond ring. He was very nice, fast decision and honest. And he gave me the price that I requested. I am very satisfied, thank you very much for such a nice experience! read less

This is the first time I have sold gold or silver, and felt quite intimidated in the Diamond District, even after selecting businesses based on good reviews.

I went based on reviews, and preferred going into an office vs a street shop or a station in a big room. Steve took a look at my box of jewelry with gems of no real value, but it turned out to be mostly 14k gold and 2 pieces were 18k gold. The price seemed fair to me. Steve gave great service and was very personable, not pushy. Overall a quick, simple and successful experience. read less

Many thanks to the staff at Truval for providing a comfortable, educational and warm environment in which to do business. Schlomi was gifted in evaluating my piece and extended his depth of knowledge to me during the process. He had respect for my heart and demonstrated a sincere consideration for his other customers and staff while I was there. At Truval’s suggestion, I took my piece to the GIA Institute to have it graded and documented. When that process was complete, I returned to Truval and sold my piece to them with confidence. I feel I got a very fair deal, an education and a place to do business in the future. I would return to them in a heartbeat! Thank you Shlomi and Steve! Go to Truval! read less

They follow up with you every step. Zak and Steve are very nice and very helpful. I shopped around and got the different quotes for my diamond, not to mention which other 3 companies you could find on Google. As far as I concerned, Truval gave me the fair price and gave me more than the others. If you don't believe me, please shop around for the quote then decide!!! They will never give you maximum price they estimate, but you have to accept that because you always lose the value after you purchase it, just like a car. You will be happier than selling to the retailer.... read less

Mr. Steve assisted me in the mailing process of my jewelry and gave me a more then fair price for the items I sent them.
It was a pleasure working with TruVal and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell there items. A key factor to me was that they are a BBB participant with a A rating.
And the turn around time from the time they received my jewelry to the time I accepted there offer was minimal.
Great place to do business with.

I know that Yelp reviews can be manipulated (one of the other places had a computer in their lobby telling customers that if they gave them positive Yelp review, that they would get an immediate 10% discount!) so I am always skeptical, even with a good Yelp rating. Still, I decided to check out TruVal as I figured I had nothing to lose.I did not have an appointment and I met with Zak and he was genuinely a pleasure to work with. He gave me a price on my rings that was 2.5x the other offers and I accepted it without negotiating the price. First, he told me what the rings were worth and then what he would pay. I also had some gold and silver necklaces to sell, which they purchased as well, also giving me a very fair price. Note: I understand that they do take appointments so if you know you are stopping by, it may make sense to make an appointment first.I know that it is so easy to get ripped off by jewelers, especially if you are like me and know very little about jewelry. If you have anything to sell, you can go elsewhere to get a few prices to compare but always go here afterward and you will be shocked at what they will offer and the probability of you being lowballed elsewhere. For me, the difference was quite significant, like I said earlier, 2.5x!I will definitely be back here. read less

Steve and Shlomi were patient, professional and extremely helpful. They were careful to explain the steps they took in making their assessments and taught me a lot about diamonds and the different types of gold. I also liked the privacy of their office and the courtesy extended by everyone there. It ended up being fun as well as profitable! I plan to return and do future sales to Truval. I didn't have an appointment on my first visit but they took the time (as evening approached!) to look at what I brought and give me an initial estimate. I did make my second appointment and was impressed when I received an email confirmation and a follow-up reminder. While this professionalism used to be assumed, today it is extraordinary and added to my comfort in doing business with Truval.Cheryl F. read less

I was selling some gold coins and gold watches that had belonged to my father. It was my first time doing anything like this. I had done some research and read the positive reviews of Truval. I was still skeptical. From beginning to end, the process was just terrific: it was easy to set up an office appointment; the meeting with Steve went very well--he inspires confidence; and I left with a check that seemed very fair. I cannot recommend Truval highly enough. read less

This company is the real deal: Steve is knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. I would highly recommend buying or selling with Truval.

Ultimately, I didn't sell him anything, but that's because he didn't pressure me and even suggested on his own that some of the family diamonds I had brought him might be better kept in the family and/or made into new pieces. He didn't rush me, and was very courteous and informative. I will very likely be back to see him with the pieces my family and I decide to sell. read less

I was selling a number of pieces of gold and other jewelry after the passing of a loved one. First off, the office is very safe and secure. It is located on an upper floor of an office building, so you feel safer when walking out than you would if you were selling to one of the retail stores at street level. Steve and his colleagues were very friendly, and I felt no pressure at all to sell. He took his time to inspect and test each and every piece, even stuff I thought was worthless, and offered me an extremely fair price for the gold jewelry--so much so that I accepted his offer on the spot without even haggling for more. He was also extremely respectful of my decisions with respect to the few pieces I decided not to sell right away. In fact, he made such a good impression that when another buyer from whom I sought a second opinion offered me a similar price for certain pieces the next day, I decided to go back to Steve to sell those pieces too. Steve and Truval will be my go-to jewelers from now on! read less

I've been to others where the appraisers made me feel like it was a bother to look at my items. Leaving me with a feeling like they were low balling me. At Truwal, I set up a 15 min appointment with Steve. I felt welcomed and it was done in a private office setting . Not some kiosk where a hundred jewlers are staring at you and pressuring you for business. I felt comfortable with the prices that were offered and trusted that my business was valued. Truval will remain my go to place for future appraisals and to sell my jewelry! read less

He immediately made me feel secure and that I could trust him. He told me the truth about the marketability of my piece and helped me find the best price! He is a “diamond in the rough” among so many dealers in the NYC Diamond district. I learned a lot in my dealings down there. Mostly - I will never deal with anyone else but Truval in the future! read less

Going to an impartial appraiser confirmed how outrageous the first 2 experiences were. He gave me the knowledge and confidence to get a fair price. It was then that I showed up without an appointment at Truval. Steve has a pleasant demeanor and is not pushy. He clearly has experience and has learned to harness it in a way that creates a comfortable setting. Steve offered a fair price for most items. When I felt the offer was not enough, I would counter and Steve would go to where he was comfortable. No hard feelings if we didn’t come to a meeting of the minds. Overall, I feel that I had a 5 star experience. I would go back again and if I did, I might hold firm on certain items. It is important to remember that sales is an art form, employing strategies to get the best price. No doubt I am no match for Steve, but he never makes you feel like you are anything but an equal and respected client. Thanks Steve for bringing some class to your industry. read less

Steve and Schlomi are so kind and funny, they make the process super easy, and the time fly by. I initially went to a few buyers with my items but didn't feel as comfortable or get the same prices as I did at Truval. Circa Jewels, for instance, has really fancy offices and cute little evaluation rooms, but they offered me pennies for my jewelry. Total waste of time. I won't go anywhere other than Truval in the future. Five stars!Also: be sure to bring all documents for Hermes/Cartier/Rolex and extra links, original box, etc for watches since they pay out more when these things are included. read less
